⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Washington Metro Red Line Action

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 พ.ย. 2021
- The Red Line is a rapid transit line of the Washington Metro system, consisting of 27 stations in Montgomery County, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., in the United States. It is a primary line through downtown Washington and the oldest, busiest, and currently the longest line in the system. It forms a long, narrow "U", capped by its terminal stations at Shady Grove and Glenmont.
The Red Line is the only line in the system that does not share its tracks with another Metrorail line. However, it runs parallel to the Metropolitan Subdivision between Washington Union Station and Silver Spring as well as between Twinbrook and Shady Grove stations. These tracks used to be part of the former Baltimore and Ohio Railroad route. The MARC commuter rail system uses this parallel route with stops in Silver Spring and Rockville when traveling between Washington and Martinsburg, West Virginia, while Amtrak uses this parallel route with a stop in Rockville when traveling the Capitol Limited route between Washington, D.C. and the Chicago Union Station.

These Ol Brown/White WMATA Metro 🚇 Train’s I Can’t Get Enough Of Watching/Hearing The Lady’s Voice When The Door’s Open & Close 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
As someone who lives in NYC but is from DC on the red line, this channel is really doing it for me :)
So glad you enjoy our videos!! :D
First Time I have ever seen a Metrorail train with a burnt out headlight 0:42.
Man when did they start closing the backs of the trains? I remember they used to set the cab to half in the backs so you could sit back there and watch the tunnel fly away
I went here when i was 9 in 2019 and i remember the carpeted cars used to always have a musty smell to it
Long live Breda and Alstom! It may be the last opportunity to see these all back in actions! 1000 series was my favorite to ride.
I've been on the Washington Metro many times. Always been pleasant, quick. 😀😀
I live in D.C and this video is awesome. I love my home line
Ah yes, the line that breaks down the most but also serves two of my favorite places in all of the DMV - Takoma Park, and all-you-can-eat sushi at Van Ness
Nice video!
No 7000 series in this clip because there temporarily out of service because of a derailment on the Blue Line back in October 2021.
True
I forgot all the 7000 series cars were pulled off the system for maintenance.
Yep it’s true
I would say it’s a little bit more than maintenance
@@Reallynow101 It’s only for the green and yellow lines that the 7000 series are running
@@Procard72 I was stating that the issues with the 7k’s were more than a maintenance issue. If it were a mere maintenance issue they would have been fully back in service a long time ago
Um, if you take the red line to Farragut North (Shady Grove direction) right before the train goes into the station on the right hand side is a side tunnel that connects to the Orange/Blue/Silver lines.
A & C connector, walked that tunnel many times during construction back in the early 1970s. Ironically i never walked the B & E connector but road aboard a train through it when WMATA ran the Green Line Short Cut before the opening of the mid city segment of the Green lin.
Do you mean the tunnel between McPherson Sq and Faragut West? That might connect to the red line to Shady Grove plus in the 90s Orange line goes there to Faragut North
DJ Hammers Trains, go watch some Virginia Railway Express trains in the next video. Deal?
I love the railway, I also shoot on this topic🤟🤙😉.
I did not know that in Washington, they have their own transportation system called The Metro Red Line train.
Its just called the metro, the red line is just one of 6 lines that operate in the dc area
@@LordPotato690 OK. : )
I'm early
It almost sounded like R160/142
Ours cars and the R142/R160s got the same proportion system.
New York City, Washington DC, and Warsaw all had their trains manufactured from Alstom, which is why they sound familiar.
@@DCTransitFilms propulsion*
Probably took hours to make this video
I always thought that the Washington metro traiñs had no governors on them, which make the fast!!!!
In a sense they do have governors as their performance curve has been detuned to reduce the rate of acceleration. This was done for two reasons, to lower the current draw on the traction power substations and extend the service life of the trains. The 1k cars developed stress cracks in their bodies from being run hard and put a way wet during the first 15 years of their service life.
Each section of track has a certain speed limit for which the train should and can be operated at and can be changed by people in the operation control center.
wmata trains look short
They look short because they are in a six-car configuration due to issues with their newest train sets (7000 series) and need to spread them throughout the system more due to the scrapping of the 1000, 4000 and 5000 series trains. Which means shorter trains for now. All 7000 series trains were pulled from service which make up the majority of the fleet. Majority of service would typically consist of eight-car sets.
No 7000 Series. 😥 I know why. I don’t need an answer. They could be using six car trains because it allows for more trains to be used
Were those the unpainted ones sitting in the yard?
@@patleung4176 I don't know. I think the 7000 series delivery was completed in 2018. They are beset with issues.
@@patleung4176 the silver ones yeah
A couple of them are currently testing around the system rn. Just gotta be lucky.
@@DCTransitFilms you can't ride the test 7K trains though. So fun for trainspotting, but not much else at the moment.
Gawd, those blasted blinking lights are so irritating day in and day out. All they do is just tell you not to be stupid by falling into the subway pit.
or, maybe they were put there to, idk, HELP DEAF PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHEN A TRAIN IS COMING
@@theautistictransitfan And the granite edge has a contrasting rough surface to identify to the blind that they close to the platform edge. Those features were designed into the stations 20 years before the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
@@SandBoxJohn yeah, metro was really ahead of it’s time and still is when it comes to accessibility
