An outbound train leaves Rhode Island Avenue station.
The station is located in Northeast on an elevated platform crossing Rhode Island Avenue, with its entrance near 5th Street. Service began on March 27, 1976 as one of the first stations in the system.
There are many commercial destinations near the station, such as two supermarkets, at least one bank, and a home improvement superstore. The U.S. Postal Service also has a large mail sorting facility which is visible from the station.
