BRAND NEW Capitol/Schumacher Hydraulic Scenic Elevator - Watt/I-80 Station - Sacramento, CA

[Recorded 5-9-22] Ladies and gentlemen, the modernization of the second car at the Watt/I-80 Station is finally complete! This elevator was in service for about a week before this video's recording date. For those of you who don't remember, this elevator used to be the worst elevator I have ever been on. This video starts off with my last ride before it was taken out of service for replacement. You can get a little recap of how nasty it used to be, but if you want a full video of this before the mod, the link is down below. This elevator looks really nice now! Schumacher designed and built the elevator car and Capitol Elevator carried out this modernization. The new cab is super well-built and is a lot more enclosed than the original cab. There are multiple customized features that the new cab has. My favorite is the "piss pump" that dumps out urine and other public transit-related fluids into the pit every time the car reaches the bottom floor. There are grooves on the bottom of the cab to catch all of that. This elevator also has a cross chassis and corner-mounted guide rails, which is something you rarely see! Anyway, this elevator looks excellent, for now at least. I wonder what it will look like a couple years down the road, but I have no plans on returning here unless it's absolutely necessary. Enjoy!
I cut out a couple sections of this video. There was a homeless guy sitting in the elevator and he started cussing and yelling at me and everyone else at the station. The security guard heard in the video asked me what he was doing in the car, and I just told her he was sitting in there tweakin lol.

Sounds like it has a good motor.

[@baelevatorsmore728]

Not even a week into service and it’s already got vandalism. Great.

[@CoolDrake910_Official]

Nice video. Much better than the original elevator, but it would have a high chance being vandalised too.

[@Thecaliforniaelevatorchannel]

Love those bulletproof glass

[@SixSilverStones]

I’m glad this got modded

[@Dana_Danarosana]

I remember reading about this design... flushing elevator. I can think of a few around here that could use this feature.

[@hawaiiskylineandelevators4115]

The modernized elevator is definitely better than the previous one! I feel like the public elevators in the mainland becomes in terrible shape in no time due to how crazy a lot of people are over there in my honest opinion

[@TechNerdNolan]

Sad how it’s already vandelized

[@alpaljl]

Looks better... for now.

[@NWIndianaElevators]

*sigh*
They should've closed this station for good if it has a LOT of problems... I am expecting that this elevator will be vandalized about a week after it went into service.

[@Christopher_Moskaira]

I tried to take the elevator at watt/I-80 in June 4 it did not work let me know works.

[@CenTexElevators489]

Sad that this had to be modernized, even though it was a Montgomery (your favorite brand) and had CJ Anderson VX fixtures.

[@GregoryAmicar57]

OH I KNOW THAT PLACE

[@VancityElevators]

still cant wait to see more vandalism again!

[@LOVElevators]

It's very unfortunate that it was modded, though at the same time, I can understand why they modded it. The new mod seems to run smoother, but vandals will be vandals.

[@ProspectElevators]

I'll give it 2 weeks before it's heavily vandalized again

[@codybrandoncargle3129]

Very nice elevator compared to before but unfortunately that vandalism is not good, I can’t stand it when someone thinks it’s cool to do that, especially when someone does it on the train cars smh, a very huge problem with the ones in my area no doubt. 🤔

[@caltrain_928]

Already ruined by a homeless person, it’s gonna be disgusting in less than a year. It’s even already vandalized.
