- An 8 car Red Line train of Original Breda 4k/ Rohr 1k/ Breda 3k series cars depart the Ft. Totten station on the upper level, heading to the Glenmont Metro Station.
Eventually, the lead car, #4054 in this video, was the first car of the 4000 series fleet to be retired in February 2017.
Aww the buzzing 😢 I wasn’t expecting that lol but I miss these trains so much the buzzing 🐝 is like healing to my soul lol
These are the 4000 series cars, which made that buzzing noise. It is part of the DC Chopper Control propulsion systems they used till they were retired in 2017. This was taken in early 2014, when 4000 series railcars were a common sighting on the Red line.
The new chimes came out in may 2006 1000 3000 and 4000 series had a higher pitched chime while the 2000 and 5000 series had a original chime and the 6000 series entered the service in October 2006 and also has the original chime like the 2000 and 5000 series and the 3000 series was rebuilt in December 2006 and got a orginal chime
The June 2009 accident happened above the bridge! Back in the past where this train left Fort Totten
Definitely a tragic event that we will never forget.
Yes! I know that was the worst accident!
It happened between Fort Totten and Takoma
I really miss these trains
Metro has a pair of these preserved
These sound similar to our older Breda cars 501-530 here in LA, 531-603 are the ones that sound like the 1000 series.
Well they both used Westinghouse DC motors, and it's because the later batch of cars in LA used the same motors as the 1000 series.
My neighbor is a Metro train operator:))
No way, that is so awesome!
Car 4054 is now in the scrap yard as it has been retired from service

Unlike the 2K/3K, the 4000 series were never rehabilitated due to a lack of funds and so they have become unreliable.
0:06 1000/2000/3000/4000 series door chime
Only the 1k/4k had higher pitched chimes.
@@SuperWorldRailFanProductions Sometimes Before The 3k Was Rehabbed It Had The 1k/4k Chimes.
@@AWJ2013-c4c Actually, all the 3000 series had the higher pitched chimes before they were rebuilt. The 2000 series were rebuilt in the early 2000s, and during that time, they had the old chimes. These new chimes came out in 2006.
@@SuperWorldRailFanProductions Ohh, I was talking about the "Randi Styled" chimes
I didn’t know those could be in 8 car sets. I thought only the Kawasaki 7000 series were in 8 car sets.
Any train can run in 8 car sets (that is four pairs on the legacy fleet, and since the 7k cars are quad sets, two sets of that)
@@SuperWorldRailFanProductions wow im surprised you responded, its been a little over 2 years. also, good to know!
@@iuvcalls8565 Sorry, I had been so busy, but I'm back!
@@SuperWorldRailFanProductions well its nice to see you again, um im not as obsessed with wmata stuff anymore, i was actually 11 when i commented that and i had just been to washington dc, so it was a phase
@@iuvcalls8565 I would post other transit stuff too whenever I get the chance to travel. It is just that I live close to D.C. that I film that system a lot.
0:31 The metro train has spawned a gun
Multiple rail joints in that area.
@@SuperWorldRailFanProductions Rip the breda trains
@@AWJ2013-c4c One pair is preserved though.
@@SuperWorldRailFanProductions I know
Do you know why all the 1000 series trains are always in the middle because of the 2009 collision
It was because they were amongst the lightest rolling stock in the Metro fleet, hence making them very vulnerable to telescoping in accidents (i.e. riding on top of another railcar).
Man, the driver didn't notice that you were filming?
He probably didn't mind.
Oh my my I've shouldn't have been ride in on 1 of my train
the noisiest metro rail cars out there. at least the 1000 series had a nice sound to it.
I miss thoese this has to be a old video tho like really old we dont have those anymore the took them away like 6 months after i started the trains
This was taken in early 2014
Oh and I love metro forever I’ve bin there before I live in Virginia where it is :D
Same :(
And no unlikes wow looks like that everybody likes this :D I also liked ur channel
I appreciate it!
Lol when the train departed it sounded like someone shooting and reloading a gun. 0:30
It's actually the sound of the wheels going over the jointed rails.
+SuperWorldFan360 I love that sound.
the 3rd rail has a gun in hand
Which 3000 series do you like original or rebuilt I like original
I prefer the original Bredas because of the awesome sounds, and mainly because I grew up riding them a lot during my childhood. It's just boring hearing those Alstom traction motors throughout the system today.
Rehabbed along with the 2000s
The 2000 Series has been retired a week ago
How come the 4000 series is the only breda train that is not rebuilt only 2000 and 3000 series
The 2000 and 3000 series were delivered in the 1980s and had reached their midlife overhaul date in the 2000s. The 4000s were delivered in the 1990s and were too young for an overhaul during the time of the 2/3k rebuilds. Additionally, funding shortages caused Metro to skip the rebuild program of the 4000s, and plus, they were relatively a very small part of Metro's fleet.
What is a clearance/feeler car?
It is a work car that checks for clearances in the entire system such as tunnels.
Clearance as in faults?
+Timothy Garrison It ensures that trains conforming to the rail's standard loading gauge or dynamic envelope will not encounter any obstruction.
Rohr 1028
Propulsion sounds like TTC H5 H6
Both used chopper controls
It Sounds like TTC H5-H6. But Pitched Lower
Why did wmata retire them?
@@IloveLexus1 The 4000 series were very problematic as well as a relatively small fleet, so it didn't make sense for Metro to overhaul them. Also, it was funding that prevented Metro from extending their service life.
