"So it's not hostile to Kalkidan, it's just hostile to normal-sized people" and it was at this moment that Caleb knew he messed with the wrong woman 💀😂 She is such a great addition to your life and this wonderfully wholesome channel! I'm glad you went to the Udvar-Hazy Center, because that is like the coolest Smithsonian thing ever. I know it's a part of the bigger Air & Space Museum, but this place is way better than the main Air & Space Museum on the National Mall because this displays much bigger stuff as shown in this video like a freakin' Air France Concorde! While the Udvar-Hazy Center don't let you go inside their Concorde, I've been inside the British Airways Concorde at the Intrepid Museum in NYC back in 2016. The Intrepid's Concorde, G-BOAD, is THE fastest Concorde as it arrived in London from NY just 2 hours, 52 minutes, and 59 seconds later in 1996! It also spent the most time in the air than any Concorde at 23,397 hours. The Intrepid lets you go inside their Concorde as part of a booked Concorde tour and we were in the only ones in our tour group, so I got the huge opportunity to sit in the cockpit and it was MAGICAL! It was such a cool experience.
Charlotte has plans for a silver line. That said, Charlotte had plans for a Blue, a Red, a Gold, and a Silver line 20 years ago and so far we have about 95% of a Blue line and 50% of a Gold line.
Don't forget about the other lines that have designated "grayness" in them: the L Train in Brooklyn, New York, and the J Bus line, the former Gray Line bus rapid transit route, in Los Angeles, California.
More fun, The Red line used to be Route 42S. The Silver line used to be 42L. One route not in use anymore, which they colored Brown, was the 52, to Allentown. I still hear in my head.. "Route 42S, Inbound, to downtown.." or "Route 42S, Outbound, to South Hills Village"
Originally, SL4 & SL5 were supposed to be branches from the Green Line to tie in with the abandoned Pleasant Street Portal but the FTA didn't want to fund the project, partially because of their contributions towards extending the Red Line and the realignment of the Orange Line. So, to have a better chance to obtain funding, BRT was proposed along the corridor.
The Pittsburgh Silver line only was called the Silver line because that is the latest style. Most people still call it the Library line. Fun Fact: Library PA is only town or city called Library in the US by the US Postal Service. There are many Pittsburgs but only one Library. Library received its name for in the early 1800s it had a Library a rarity at that time period.
Superb, thank you very much for this excellent video, both entertaining and informative. It was great seeing those that joined you during the course of your sojourn. May you and your subscribers and others that watch these excellent videos have a very happy new year. God bless you.
unless you count when los angeles had a silver line that before being renamed to the j line... that silver line is arguably one of the worst silver lines honestly
LA used to have a Silver Line, but it was rebranded to the J-Line. Houston has a Silver Line, and I think that’s the furthest rapid transit Silver Line from the east coast that’s still in the US (there are some Silver Lines abroad, so Caleb has some work to do!). LA and Houston are both busway rapid transit lines, like [parts of] Boston’s Silver Line.
If it hadn't been for The Big Dig, the Silver Line is Boston would be much nicer than it is. I must say though that the SL2 is great for those who go on cruises out of Boston, especially getting to/from Logan with a change to the SL1.
The airbus A220 was originally the Bombardier Aerospace C-series jet, which was the Canadian company's attempt to expand from the regional jet into the short-distance narrow-body airliner territory, with hopes of competing with smaller A320s (like the A318 and A319) and Boeing 737s. Unfortunately, despite billions in dollars of aid from the Quebec government it spelled the end of the company, with controlling share and then the entire program sold to Airbus. I believe the aircraft are still partly assembled in Quebec though (they have to be in order to keep the Gouvernment du Quebec happy). The program spelled the end of Bombardier, with their turboprop line (to Longview Aviation Capital's De Havilland Canada, they reincarnated that name), regional jet line (to Mitsubishi Aviation), and train businesses (to Alstom Transport) all sold off.

Great review! This was definitely worth the wait, and it's nice to see the differing environments of various transit systems across the country.

This is a great video! I live in the large neighborhood behind the Blue Line Grille and was very cool to see some representation of our small town!

I went to the Bethesda Metro Station for the very first time today, which is where you were at the beginning of the DC Silver Line portion!
I’m glad that your Ethiopian friend is here in this video!
17:35 I’ve ridden the SL2 twice this year one wasn’t even a silver line bus and I was the only one both times until silver line way inbound
Never gonna give blue up classy whale rickrolling us
Hi Caleb, We are the people you met at Allegheny Station this November - we are at the Blue Line Grille right now - we took the Silver Line here.
Ah excellent - I probably passed you going in the other direction!
I don't think of PGH as coastal, exactly ... but any footage of its underrated transit system is A-OK by me! Great work, as always!
The Washington Avenue Silver Line was built after the Orange line el was demolished in the 1980s, and promises of light rail were shelved.
SL1 is a decent 1-seat ride from Logan to downtown.
0:44 - You are wearing a facemask to be warmer on this cold day.
It really helps!
This was great. subbed
@@shayne87 thanks! Tune in tomorrow, I'm racing the Acela in a seaplane!
5:40 - Does this map show a trolley route to Kennywood park in West Mifflin?
11:29 - This occurred to me now: Most buses have the diesel engine in back. Where is the engine on an articulated bus?
It's in the back of the articulated section!
@ClassyWhale
The second seçtion.?!
I thought the back section is an unpowered trailer.
5:53 🎶 The Wawa local is about to arr… oh wait wrong video
Andy On Track!
Thanks for the video!
12:40 I saw the Taiwan flag
The silver line is the best line
Which one?
All of them
@XiJingpingNews I didn’t say which silver line now did I
unless you count when los angeles had a silver line that before being renamed to the j line... that silver line is arguably one of the worst silver lines honestly
I was in Pittsburgh I February and it was annoying to keep hearing about the incline being closed
This was a fun meet up!
I hope that in the next few days, I will ride all of the Metro lines in the DC Metro System from terminus to terminus!
4:59 - Paying for your ride .. What is the phone number for PAT gray rail?
The Pittsburgh lines need atleast 15 minute frequency not 30
When is your next septa video
Probably March? Idk
HOW DO YOU STAND IN THE COLD THAT LONG
20:56 - The train on the left is better. A WAMTA Metro-rail train should be half bronze colored.
WOOOOOO THE CHELSEA TOASTER LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO
I need to ride the Silver again; I haven’t exited yet to explore Ashburn nor Reston Town Center 🙀
It would be funny if there was a silver line on the other side of the country
There's one in Grand Rapids, close enough
LA used to have a Silver Line, but it was rebranded to the J-Line.

San Diego kind of has one.

Of all the lines that are silver, these are definitely them
23:10 Now that is a fun fact!
I'm still right it's Lan-Caster not Laincaster ( 25:39 ). Otherwise, great video!
LAN-kisster
Fries on a salad (or Fryz) is also a Sheetz thing
21:19 - This map says no Yellow Line?
It was out of service that day!
My favorite one was the silver line
23:21 It was quite the workout!
Who’s the girl again? Love her lol! Also does she have her own channel?
There were two women in this video - Kalkidan (my bestie) and Susanna (my sister and also my bestie). The latter has a channel.
@@ClassyWhale does your sis do transit vids too? If so, that’s adorable! A family affair! 😄
I’m enjoying the Ariana Grande cover of “Last Christmas” @ Blue Grille that was played in the vid
Rip MBTA Trolly buses.
What about the silver liners in Philadelphia
9:35 lovely name
Caleb didnt do his research now hes down 30 bucks
You know what’s better than silver? Gold*!
