DART Silver Line FLIRTs 905 & 908 @ Shiloh Road Station - Exterior Walkaround

Bout time I make another Silver Line video.
On Friday, June 28, 2024, DART accomplished a significant milestone in the process of building the Silver Line. That milestone was moving two FLIRTs, 905 and 908, to Plano under their own power. After they were moved to Plano, they were stored at Shiloh Road Station, the current eastern terminus of the Silver Line. Today (Sunday June 30), I went to Shiloh Road Station to see the trains parked, and it did not disappoint. I was able to get probably one of the closest shots yet of the trains in this short 5 minute video. Hope you enjoy!

What I want to know is how they got the rail Cars from TRE RAIL yard to here?

It will be nice to see inside of this train... The outside is very nice with these big windows... 🍒🍒🍒

Wow at long last they’re on their new home which is semi complete still a lot to be done I forget if the opening year was next year or 2026 believe they were going to start operations in 2026

I retired from pax railroading maintenance in North America two years ago. I know all too well the necessary setup for running repair and heavy maintenance. Looking at these with no insider knowledge I would think maintenance would be easier compared to the traditional locomotive hauled coaches.

Nice. I hope that the Silver Line isn't impacted by the same issues that the rest of DART is facing

Liking the livery on these units! Glad that they have doors which contrast to the rest of the side of the train - really helpful for those with a sight impairment. Thanks for the video 😀

Not yet unfortunately, there isn't one part of the Silver Line that is currently open to the public.

@LedySagastume The current time frame is I believe late 2025 to early 2026
