Explanation:
[STC001087] It will take you just under three minutes to ride the escalator in the Wheaton Station in Maryland, which is part of the DC Metro. This is eight times longer than the typical escalator in a shopping mall. The escalator at this station is the longest one in the Western Hemisphere, measuring 230 feet in length and ascending 115 feet from the platform. The escalator is made up of three separate escalators that are connected to one another in a continuous chain. Maryland is also home to the second longest escalator in the West, at the Bethesda station, but neither is any match for the Park Pobedy metro station in Moscow, Russia, the world’s longest escalator at 425 feet in length.
