Vernon East Takoma Park

Vernon East/Takoma Park is a tunnel in the partly caved in old Metro. It gives a route from Vernon Square to Takoma Park. This tunnel is very long and windy. Its Vernon Square East entrance can be reached from the Vernon Square side by traversing the radioactive ground above the sewer.

Though the Local Map calls this area Vernon East/Takoma Park, the writing on the wall indicates that this is Abernathy Station, which is shown on the DCTA Metro Map. This means it is part of the White line. That map shows Vernon Square station to the west, then a station called "Becton" before the Abernathy station. Signs at Vernon Square Station indicate that the tunnels on the right lead to Becton station. However, these tunnels are marked as "Metro Junction" and lead to this station. This could mean that the Metro Junction station is actually the Becton station.

Inhabitants

 * A few super mutants and, further in, several mirelurk hunters.
 * At higher levels, the hunters are replaced with mirelurk kings, which can be dangerous since they are in clusters of up to 3. It is also possible at higher levels that some of the super mutants may be replaced with super mutant overlords if the Broken Steel add-on is installed.

Notable loot

 * Lying, Congressional Style very close to the Vernon Square East exit, in the ticket booth (A).
 * Nuka-Cola Quantum in the super mutant hideout on a shelf. (B).

Note: To get to (B), go down the escalator(s) and turn left twice. Go West on/along the Metro tracks toward what looks like a dead end. Use caution as the tracks will have frag mines along the way and then a trap (pressure plate) near the end. At the end, take a left into hideout. Inside there there you will find a Nuka-Cola vending machine and some beds.
