EXPRESS ASKED this Metro expert to pick his five favorite stations.

» Judiciary Square: "I think it's architecturally the most significant and quite beautiful in that way." He especially likes the National Building Museum exit, "where you get that magnificent vista framed in the escalator."

» Union Station: Historically notable because it "connects Metro to commuter rail and the inner-city rail."

» East Falls Church: "Because that's the one near my house, and it's always nice to have a Metro station near your house."

» Ronald Reagan National Airport: "There's something about getting off a plane when you've been far away, sort of sliding into that Metro space, and suddenly you feel at home."

» A Future Tysons Corner Station: Schrag's always thought a Tysons station should have been part of the original system. "It's good that there will be a Tysons station built within my lifetime," he says.

» Best Metro Station: Gallery Place/Chinatown
