Ben Schumin Photography Portfolio

Ben Schumin is a professional photographer who captures the intricacies of daily life.

A 7000-Series train occupies the inbound track at Wiehle-Reston East station, about an hour before the line opened to the public. At the time of the Silver Line's opening, the 7000-Series railcars were undergoing testing in preparation for mass production, and would not enter passenger service until the following year.
