US army builds fake city to shoot at during training

Rumor is, the Mailbox in front of 
one of the houses reads, "Pastorius"

From the Telegraph:
The US army has built a fake city designed to be used during combat training exercises. The 300 acre 'town' includes a five story embassy, a bank, a school, an underground subway and train station, a mosque, a football stadium, and a helicopter landing zone. 
Located in Virginia, the realistic subway station comes complete with subway carriages and the train station has real train carriages. 
The subway carriages even carry the same logo as the carriages in Washington DC 
There are also bridges and several other structures which can be transformed into different scenarios.
