My kid and I watched this whole thing. It helped him remember & process an almost identical trip we took that was somewhat stressful for him (first time underground maybe?). Thank you for making it!
Updated:Here in Atlanta we don't call it a subway station we just basically call it a train station or we don't call it a subway train either we just simply call it a train but if you really from Atlanta simply call it, Marta
@@mtanyctrainatlantamartatra7164 what they are telling you is that if you say take me to the "train station" if you're visiting Atlanta that person will know exactly what you are saying. If you tell them to take you to the Subway, they will take you to the fast food restaurant...so be careful! In Atlanta, "train station "means MARTA and Subway is a where you get food.
@@aceboogisback9946 yep and the deepest station in the states is Washington Park (Portland, TriMet) at 260'. Forest Glen (DC, WMATA) is deeper too, 196'. Peachtree Center is 120' down
I lived in Atlanta back in the Mid-90s and during the "1996 Olympic Games"! it's very Organized! and, One of the Deepest Subway Train Stations in the USA!, carved out of Mountainous Rock! Atlanta is approximately 1020 to 1100 Feet above Sea Level! and, the Downtown Peachtree Center Station is 120 feet under the Atlanta street surface!. The Atlanta Subway System resembles the Washington DC. Subway System in many ways; Awesome!
I’ve been to Peachtree Center several times before. It’s kind of my go to station when I ride Marta. Every time I take Marta I always end up going to this station every single time.
I think the same engineering firm in San Francisco, called Parsons-Tudor -Beckendorff, designed BART (SF), DC Metro & MARTA (ATL), all in the early 1970s. They look very similar. All of DC Metro's stations, were beautifully, but very uniformly designed. With BART & MARTA, each station is quirky & different, as all designed by different architects. DC Metro and BART both eagerly expanded into suburbs afar. MARTA's expansion stalled, when border counties, opted out of the rail system, and with with only local feeder transit to rail stations. BART had good funding from the state of California. DC Metro was heavily federal taxpayer funded. MARTA got minimal state funding from GA. I think DC Metro's earlier trains were built in Ga. BART's were built in California, and MARTA's were built in France, and shipped to Savannah.
That’s what I think too. BART, MARTA, and WMATA shares similar design. MARTA has so much potential…I wish MARTA would focus in extending the rail line (especially the incomplete line to DeKalb).
Lindbergh was my home station Peachtree center was where I got off going to work yrs ago. Now I have to deal with this insane traffic driving 🚗 😒 ugh!!!
7:21 Marta Station Chimes. 7:23 A northbound red line train is approaching the station please stand back from the platform edge and allow passengers to exit the vehicle before boarding.
I remember Marta before the red line was built or even color coded. It was just called the north-south line which followed I-85 and the East -West line which followed I-20. I think the GA 400 was built in the 90s but just up to the Sandy Springs station. They only extended that to the new North Springs station right AFTER I moved out of Roswell.
Peachtree is the best place I really enjoy this video and also I don’t like the Escalator because they are too scary but I really like this video thank you
You know it's amazing to think that the MARTA system and Washington DC Metro system or based off the same layout and yet the Martyr system still runs on automatic and their trains keep going in d.c. the trains are manual and they have massive problems keeping them going
It's business varies alot! I've been taking the train to work lately and if you catch a train there at 7:30 am you are lucky if you are able to get a seat.
It's a train that goes under ground. So that makes it a subway. Northerners and others have had trains decades before Atalanta, I'm almost sure they know what this is.
One of my Favorite MARTA stations. It feels so futuristic to me. Oh how I wished we didn't have so many "NIMBY " mentality here in the south and what this system could be today. 😢 We ATLANTA were way ahead of any city in the south and even many much larger cities too.> L.A.,Houston just to name a few and still today even with what we have in place. MARTA has helped our city grow and host large events. You can seamlessly take a train from the airport to the Heart of the City and only a very few cities can say that in America. Btw MARTA is the 8th largest tranist system in passenger s out pacing larger cities once again like L.A., Houston and more..
The same 7000 series cars that were having all of those issues? We’ll pass. Plus the new trains that MARTA is getting are more handicap friendly, tech savvy, spacious, and efficient than the 7000 series
Make sure you feature Asby station because it's the actual jewel of the green line. It is the only station other than Five Points that separates direction of travel on two levels.
Up here in San Francisco, it's Bart: Bay Area Rapid Transit. The trains are the same design. Ours are bullet trains. That's the old fleets we have new fleets. The tracks are the same as ours. It's mined boggling. We don't call it subway. We call it Bart. The only differences that Bart runs underneath the San Francisco Bay to Oakland. The Transbay Tube. The cold part is that up here and down there... have the same track system. maybe it's by the same CEO.
Its a subway because it runs underground. because it has underground stations. as well I call it the Atlanta subway! could you stop in Charlotte to do our light rail and streetcar? very similar to Atlanta with the streetcar.
@@dbclass2969 I find it extremely ugly, it reminds me of a cave and it looks very unfinished but that's my opinion and you know what they say about opinions.
I love riding the MARTA whenever I go to Atlanta.
Me too.

The whole system is not a train station, doesn't make sense

@@truelife974 Train station also means the Amtrak station. So I always say the MARTA rail station.
@@truelife974Thank you great Atlanta citizen!
I love Peachtree Center!
the peachtree station’s architecture is cool
I love the fact that these use the same traction motor vvvf as the NYC subway. They sound exactly like the numbered lines :3
Fun Fact: MARTA and its Peachtree Center station was featured in the 1985 movie 'The Heavenly Kid'.
Fun fact marta and five points station was on the movie lottery ticket
Fun fact, Peachtree Center station is farther below ground than any other subway station in the world.
Yes I remember that movie!
Peachtree Station was in Matlock too.
@@tavarislong2709 No it's not. The deepest stations in the world are in Kyiv, Ukraine.

The MARTA Subway Train has the same motor from the MTA NYC Subway R142A, R188, and R143.
and the type 8
That’s exactly what I was thinking!😂
The name of the motor that I’m talking about is the MITRAC Motor.
I Saw. You. Ride the. MARTA. Train. To. Buckhead. Have a great day

So thankful for this video!
GreatI really enjoyed watching your video
Thank you.
Ya man it's a good think I trop on by
We love you man keep up the work
Coolio, I lived in Atlanta during part of my childhood years also in Detroit, Mi.

Great Video Man! This week I'm making a Broward County Transit and Miami Dade Transit Bus Mix/Action Videos that will only take 20/29 minutes!
Thanks man! All right, I can't wait to see another round of BCT and MDT! Have a good rest of your week!
Hey I watch your channel
Peachtree is the best place I really enjoy this video and also I don’t like the Escalator because they are too scary but I really like this video thank you
Same they break
U can hear the R188 sound
R142a and r143
It's a good fast alternative to commute and is less expensive than driving all the time
You know it's amazing to think that the MARTA system and Washington DC Metro system or based off the same layout and yet the Martyr system still runs on automatic and their trains keep going in d.c. the trains are manual and they have massive problems keeping them going
Peachtree is the deepest Train station in North America 🇺🇸 United States Of America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Atlanta Georgia.United States Of America 🇺🇸
They have subway sandwiches in Atlanta? I didn't know that 😅
The one thing I'll say about this station is that the escalators give me major vertigo
Thanks for sharing this video. Does this train go to Decatur?
Yes. Transfer the Blue Line (eastbound to Indian Creek) at Five Points Station.
@@HOUExplorer Thanks, I appreciate it.
Taylor - drop the bag!
nice video, but Peachtree Center Station definitely doesn't look the least bit busy
It's business varies alot! I've been taking the train to work lately and if you catch a train there at 7:30 am you are lucky if you are able to get a seat.
It's the MARTA rail... Or the rail station.. not a Subway.. I'm taking the rail today
It's a train that goes under ground. So that makes it a subway. Northerners and others have had trains decades before Atalanta, I'm almost sure they know what this is.

Yep I hate that damn escalator down into the station any horse play could end putting you in a wheel chair paralyzed
Only an idiot would horseplay.
My place of birth was Nashville Tennessee and they got there a kicked by csx
9:43 I hate that train, they need to have the 7000 series rail cars the same trains that DC have
We’re getting new trains starting next year.
7000 series is a copy of the CQ312
@@hoodboyzAtl yea I can see that and they look so much alike
The same 7000 series cars that were having all of those issues? We’ll pass. Plus the new trains that MARTA is getting are more handicap friendly, tech savvy, spacious, and efficient than the 7000 series
This how it's done
What about the green line
I haven't had a chance, but when I return to Atlanta, I will ride the Green Line.
Make sure you feature Asby station because it's the actual jewel of the green line. It is the only station other than Five Points that separates direction of travel on two levels.
@@truelife974 Lindbergh does that also!
@@themuddygee no it doesn't have trains running on two different levels only Ashby and five points.

hello fellow 'Great Society Metro' denizen
We don’t call it the subway in Atlanta either. We either call it Marta or simply The train.
The body style and the door placements are the same as those in Washington D.C. except for the colors.
Interesting, I find these trains very similar to BART
Its a subway because it runs underground. because it has underground stations. as well I call it the Atlanta subway! could you stop in Charlotte to do our light rail and streetcar? very similar to Atlanta with the streetcar.
Yes. I am planning to visit Charlotte soon!
Go Southbound next video
Why is this city so empty ?
Trust me Atlanta is FAR from empty. This was probably shot on a Sunday
Sunday
Atlanta has the 8th busiest rail system in the in the u.s.. 500,000 people riding daily.. with 500,000 people daily. 5th in the u.s. mile
It doesn't extend far enough in the metro area like it should.
@@blast4me754 it needs extension ASAP. Two extra lines connecting northeast to southwest and northwest to southeast are needed
The subway is fxxkin dangerous full of trolls 😅 acting crazy and it is horrifying
Interesting when I was in downtown Atlanta at five points terminal underground it was really busy well that was before Obama was elected now look
I briefly returned to Atlanta as a adult. I now live in California. I don't like California and I am planning on leaving.
This has got to be one of the ugliest train stations in the U.S and also one of the deepest.
Ypou find natural exposed rock ugly? Peachtree Center is honestly one of the best train stations I've seen.
