Washington Grove station

Washington Grove is a passenger rail station in Washington Grove, Maryland, on MARC Train's Brunswick Line.[3] The station serves a historic community near Washington, D.C. that was a summer retreat for many of its citizens during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, but that recently have become year-round residences without destroying the outward appearance of the original structures in the community. Originally the rail connection provided the transportation to the community, which is designed only for pedestrian use along footpaths.

gollark: Well, in that case, it's this sort of thing: > The only perfect pangrams of the English alphabet that are known either use abbreviations, such as "Mr Jock, TV quiz PhD, bags few lynx", Roman numerals such as “Fjord Nymphs XV beg a quick waltz”, or use words so obscure that the phrase is hard to understand, such as "Cwm fjord bank glyphs vext quiz"
gollark: I suppose if you're disallowing abbreviations there are some shorter ones which work, at least.
gollark: It's pretty useful that "btw I use Arch" doesn't contain any repeated letters.
