Reston Metro Station Gets Huge Crowds for Saturday's Women's March [PHOTOS]

RESTON, VA — An estimated 500,000 people descended on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on Saturday for the Women's March on Washington, and the effects could be felt as far west as the Wiehle-Reston Metro station, where huge lines were reported.

Wait times of up to 45 minutes were reported at the Metro stop, and pictures shared on social media showed hundreds if not thousands of people waiting in line just to get on a train in Reston to attend the event.

Metro even shut down parking at the station after it filled up well before the event started.

You can view some of those pictures below.

Walk-bridge to get INTO the Reston-Wiehle silver line metro station is PACKED. My guess is it's a 45 min wait just to pack onto a train.
