Re: How Many Cemeteries Do Subway Trains Either Pass By, Under or Over?

In Washington DC there is the most well know National Cemetery in the United States, Arlington Cemetery. It even has its own station of the same name.

The Blue, Orange and Silver lines pass by Congressional Cemetery under Potomac Avenue between Potomac Avenue and the Stadium-Armory stations.

The Green line passes under Rock Creek Cemetery Between Georgia Avenue Petworth and Fort Totten. There were delays in the boring of the tunnels from people that protested not wanting the tunnels to passing under the Cemetery. Never mind the fact the bottoms of the graves were closer to the surface of the ground they were interned in then the top of the tunnels by 40 or more feet.
