such a unique transportation system. in today's day and age with safety regulations, it blows my mind that it's legal to hang off the side of the cars, completely exposed to traffic. Not to mention, it's in San Francisco, a city that loves laws and regulations. I'll always love the cable cars and the smell of those wooden brakes:)

The bell from the Metroliner is so nice

Dude this is AWESOME! You can hear the cab hits and it sounds like they had a student with them! Man this is cool to watch! Also at 51:14 you're passing UPs rail yard and UTAs

When the train accelerates and stops to a halt, it is straight up audio p**n to my ears.

As someone who is from the Willamatte Valley i never ridden one of those trains ive wanted to since i was 6 this is a cool video

No station for Soldier Field?

I lived in Windsor Park from 1941 to 1959. I sold newspapers at the intersection of 75th and Exchange. I used to go up onto the IC 75th Street platform and carry bundles of newspapers that were transport on the trains in the vestibule of the last car of trains coming from the Loop. I remember when then the IC and two CSL lines crossed at that intersection. It was a busy place. Thank you for a ride with many memories. I made that trip many times. The line used to extend further south.

anybody outside of phoenix, what do you think?

awesome, I've always wanted to take the light rail from one to the other. I didn't realize it was that long. My butt couldn't take it.

Bugs or not, you did great. Can't control how clean the windows are.

I watched this video quite a bit over the years. I had to come through and applaud you for not only filming this steady, but for incorporating chapters. As far as filming goes, I mean, it boils down to the discretion of the crew. Some are against it, others are more lenient. They don't owe us railfans anything, other than courtesy and getting us to our destinations safely. Even if the person was off duty, they're still an employee at the end of the day.

Is any kind of permit needed to make a video from that position? I rode the SEPTA CHW line a few times from Center City to Chestnut Hill about a year ago while visiting a friend, and every time I tried to video my ride from the front seat I got yelled at by the train operator, who also threatened to call the police if I didn't stop videoing! Needless to say I was very disappointed I had to stop videoing, but I didn't want to cause any trouble. Is there anything I can say or do, for future reference?...

Thank You!

Is this train running backwards?

Hey, this is the friendly operator from Portland Streetcar! Thanks for posting the video, I just found it! Glad you enjoyed the ride and nice to have met you. The conversation about the comic con and furry fandom was great!

I hope you got permission from VM to do this video? I remember a while back a bus operator got terminated for using their cell phone video while operating the bus. A passenger seen them using their phone to video or whatever while driving, submitted it to news 15, & promptly got fired. It goes against the FMCSA guidelines, company guidelines, state guidelines etc. Just saying.

Hope you can come on a day I'm working and I'll let you film

Enjoyable throwback - rode Penn Stn to Hbg every few weeks in '02-'03. However, nowhere near 125mph - made it a bit disappointing instead of just cool. You might consider taking that out of the title. Thanks

Can these trains go up to 70 mph?

R u a train driver

Any idea how often these used to actually run back in the day when they were the main form of transport in the city? It looks like quite a slow operation turning them around and wouldn't allow frequencies higher than maybe about 2-3 minutes?

To early.

Did you also do the new valley metro light rail extension?

Traffic signal priority could be improved but i see it's already helping this service a lot

Huh, same announcements jingle as Marta's

Why is no one riding it?

It’s wild that it has to wait at lights like that..

That small brick building you see on your left going under rosevelt Road is the last vestige of Central Station

Prior to May 1971, there was a stop at 63rd for IC Intercity Trains

I rode this line in 1971. Old 1926 Pullman trains with rattan seats. Slower track not well maintained and old wooden grey painted platforms!

I taked the rem and it’s sound like the elevator from the interior,very perfect and as montrealer,I love it from gare central to du Cartier and du Cartier to gare central for free,I love it 🤩

What is the flag stop please?

Is this anything like Bart? I recognize the sound the speaker system makes when the door is closing.

I wish my city, salt lake city had double decker buses. At least we have buses with doors on both sides

1:55:00 Someone at UP has had a pretty bad day, lol

As a born and bred Montrealer, I find it unnatural to ride any form of mass transit that is not accompanied by the whoosh of rubber tires. ;) I'm a fan of the REM. I was on the first train out on the public open house. I've ridden it several weekends since as a cheap fairground ride. But compared to our venerable metro? You can see it's a system built to a price point by a corporation. No art, no decorative tilework, no little stores on the platforms where you can get a snack and coffee...heck, no garbage cans. All the stations look the same: modern but rather bland, like they were flatpacked out of IKEA. It's very much like the Chinese metros: standardized stations that do the job. It has potential to be a great system. But it lacks just a bit of that Montreal soul...

This is an amazing ride and I just took the amtrak cascade trip on a sunday 10/22/2023 going by that route to Vancouver. Something about the puget sound travel on train is relaxing and seeing the coastline. Do you have other social media stuff to follow with similar content or just youtube?

The best POV on this line is on the top floor looking west. Watching the sunset over the valley 😍

Yet again another well made video and work! Remember to continue with your high spirits of your passions and spreading the joy for the community despite the circumstances! Whether with direct and indirect support, I hope you keep well and wish you prosperity for you and for what you strive on achieving! 🚆💯

We lived in South Shore back in the 60s to mid 70s. I took this train countless times as a child with my mother to go downtown on a Saturday. It was the old green Illinois Central passenger train back then. Single deck with wicker seats, and windows that opened.

21:21 Passing Kent Station. 25:57 Passing Auburn Station. 31:42 Passing Sumner Station. 33:54 Passing Puyallup Station.

Watched the whole thing from beginning to end. Great footage.

This looks so much fun

Ride from the a$$ view going backwards.

Nice You even caught a southbound frontrunner train

Perhap the window should be cleaned for better views.

I used to ride the trax lines(red,blue & green)every time I went to visit my friend who lives(currently)in West Valley City & spend an hour or so with her & then go home from the airport!These lines will get you to where you need to go either early or on time!Ride the UTA trax lines & you'll arrive at your destination safely & securely!

I wish that we had this light rail here in Toronto, but the stupid moronic 'mayor' (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Ford ) 'people' elected back in 2009 had destroyed our chance at having light rail for the sections of Toronto that couldn't (and _still_ can't) have subway lines, Transit City (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transit_City ), so all we have two east/west lines one of which isn't rteally light rail.
