the train cars with the folding doors at 2: 54 and 7:07 are quite a rare sight nowadays, as they're the last remaining few of the RTD's original batch of trains. I'm glad you got those on camera while you still could
The ones with the folding doors aren't too uncommon to see, it's rare too see them with the old paint style that they originally had before switching to the blue stripe though
Some of the light rail lines in and around Denver can be kinda scary sometimes. There's a lot of heavy drug use and I've seen some violence. I really hope RTD does something to try to clean this up.
Definitely! :) It was wild coming from Colorado and riding on the SD MTS. RTD Denver has more of the SD-160s in the fleet, however. The key exterior difference is the 100s with the bi-fold doors and the 160s with the sliding doors.
The Saturday of a holiday weekend does mean that the business district is going to be fairly closed. The rest of the city is pretty active in the summer, tbqh.
Denver pretends it's a city, but really it's basically just a 30-mile-wide suburb with a couple tall buildings in the middle and exactly one walkable street.
Don't you love
trains, trams, aren't they all beautiful :)
come take a ride! (at folder 2, look my way)
First and last time I was in Denver was 1971-72. Amazing how much it has grown and changed in 50 years! I was 19 then.
Great video. Long time since my last visit to Denver when only buses served as public transit. Thanks Tim😀💚

Very good👍 video
The F line is closed permanently
They only run one car trains on the L line and the other lines they run 2 car trains during weekends and 3-4 car trains during rush hour and weekdays

Are the *orange lights flashing* constantly? Aren't they supposed to be turn-signals or emergency lights?
They’re to probably signal to drivers to get out of the way
Murica...
Nice video my friend like 35
super tramvaje miluju
Are these the same type of siemens-100 cars that SDMTS uses?

@@andr_w So 2 light rails models were made and the *only* difference was that the way the doors opened was different?
@@NiceNToasty768 160s also have newer propulsion
@@adrianwitzburg4140 what's that?
@@NiceNToasty768 no. There were other changes to the motors and behind-the-scenes systems. the only passenger-facing one is really the doors.
More lifeless streets in an American downtown. More street level retail!
