One nitpicky point...

I don't have the metro schematic anymore, but would the interchange track that connects the Red Line south of Ft Totten to the Green line northeast of it get in the way of a pocket track? Also, what if Yellow Line trains did go north to Ft Totten, and every other Green Line Train followed down the Red Line to make a Greenbelt-Grosvenor run? Takoma and Silver Spring would lose some service in this instance, but I'd be curious to examine the idea. Remember Metro did run Farragut North to Greenbelt Service before the Georgia Ave. stretch of the Green Line was complete back in the late 90's, using that track. The reduced thru-service on the Green Line could give the Yellow Line trains time to turn around. I wish that Metro had more "off-ramps" like this one, to allow for more one seat rides thru the downtown core, especially from the Red Line, which does a useless "U" rather than connecting with something on the other side of town.
