===Transportation=== [[File:East Falls Church Station.jpg|thumb|A [[Washington Metro]] train entering [[East Falls Church (WMATA station)|East Falls Church station]]]] Although two stations on the [[Washington Metro]]'s [[Orange Line (Washington Metro)|Orange Line]] have "Falls Church" in their names, neither lies within the City of Falls Church: [[East Falls Church station]] is in [[Arlington County, Virginia|Arlington County]] and [[West Falls Church station]] is in [[Fairfax County, Virginia|Fairfax County]]. * Metro's [[Silver Line (Washington Metro)|Silver Line]], completed July 2014, serves the East Falls Church station. It runs between [[Downtown Largo station|Downtown Largo]] in the east, following the Blue Line route to [[Stadium-Armory (WMATA station)|Stadium-Armory]], the Orange and Blue Lines to [[Rosslyn (WMATA station)|Rosslyn]], and finally the Orange route alone until it reaches East Falls Church, where it branches off towards the northwest, terminating in Ashburn, servicing [[Dulles International Airport]]. East Falls Church is the westernmost designated transfer station. * The [[Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority]] provides bus service throughout the Washington metropolitan area, including Falls Church. * A small portion of the {{convert|45|mi|km|adj=on}} Washington and Old Dominion Railroad Trail (W&OD Trail) runs through the city (see: [[Washington & Old Dominion Railroad Regional Park]]). The trail enters the city from the west between mile markers 7 and 7.5 (near Broad Street). The trail enters the city from the east between mile markers 5.5 and 6. The W&OD Trail travels on the rail bed of the [[Washington and Old Dominion Railroad]] and various predecessor lines, which provided passenger service from 1860 to May 31, 1951, with exception of a few years during the [[U.S. Civil War]]. Freight service was abandoned when the railroad closed in August 1968. The [[Four Mile Run Trail]], which ends at an intersection with the [[Mount Vernon Trail]] near [[Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport]], begins in the city at Van Buren Street. These trails comprise a major [[bicycle]] commuting route to Washington, D.C. ====Major highways==== [[File:2016-10-06 08 58 55 View south along U.S. Route 29 and west along Virginia State Route 237 (Washington Street) at Virginia State Route 7 (Broad Street) in Falls Church, Virginia.jpg|thumb|The junction of [[U.S. Route 29 in Virginia|US 29]] and [[Virginia State Route 7|SR 7]] in Falls Church]] The primary roads serving Falls Church directly are [[U.S. Route 29 in Virginia|U.S. Route 29]] and [[Virginia State Route 7]]. The portion of US 29 through Falls Church is also coincident with [[Virginia State Route 237]]. Most of [[Virginia State Route 338]] is also within Falls Church. [[Interstate 66]] passes just north of the city, while [[Interstate 495 in Virginia|Interstate 495]] passes a few miles to the west.
