A train enters the West Falls Church station.
The station serves the suburban community of Falls Church, Virginia and the Northern Virginia campuses of Virginia Tech and the University of Virginia, and is located in the median of Interstate 66 near Leesburg Pike (State Route 7). The station is also the nearest to Tyson's Corner, a major retail area. The initialisms for the two college campuses were added to the station's name in 1999. Service began on June 7, 1986.
A branch of the Orange Line is planned to go from this station to Dulles Airport, via Tyson's Corner, and is estimated to start opening in 2009. A list of the proposed stations on this branch is here.
