I recall some discussion about moving the Silver Line terminus from close to the Main Terminal to the parking garage, but hadn't been following it for a while. What a shame. When the ATL airport terminal was built in 1980, a concrete shell for a future rail station was incorporated into the design even though MARTA didn't reach the airport until 1988. It's a shame that plans for Metro were not integrated into the Dulles terminal renovations over the last decade.
