    Thanks for posting this video. A former San Diego resident (in my youth) and frequent-return visitor, I am sorry to hear that the U2s are being replaced. They have been a joy and comfort to ride. Their near-quiet operation has made it seem like they arrive as if by magic. One of San Diego's light rail routes travels right thru the middle of the city's Mount Hope Cemetery where my family is interned. Respectfully, these red trollies quietly "glide" thru the cemetery grounds. SD has provided its citizens with an efficient and practical transportation system that makes visiting all parts of the city and surrounding communities an easy and fun experience.

    While it is sad indeed that the U2s have been retired, we can take heart in the fact that two have gone the Southern California Railway Museum. Another one has gone to a museum in the Bay Area, and a fourth has gone to a museum on the East Coast.

    I rode the San Diego trolley U2 cars many times between 1981 and
    2011 in civilized San Diego. San Diego has it together when it comes to the trolley, the Coaster commuter train, and the Sprinter
    In North County between Escondido & Oceanside.

    Although the U2 model was the face of MTS for several decades, and despite the great memories we all had growing up around the trolley, I am glad to see the new low floor cars on the Blue Line. I am an operator and those U2's were inefficient in every way possible, not to mention the difficulty operating them...Farewell!

    • @SouthCalifas619
      @SouthCalifas619 10 лет назад +4

      I think the reason.why the doors would always malfunction is because mts stopped investing on rennovations and repairs for u2s after theyve been expecting to replace em

    • @SouthCalifas619
      @SouthCalifas619 10 лет назад +3

      I still think they couldve gotten a better car than sd70s for the blue line since its always too full and not enough seats. Or maybe gotten some of the long s70s

    • @aycarambas
      @aycarambas 10 лет назад +3

      The problem with the long S70's is that the boggies are too long for the sharp curves in downtown and could derail, which is why you will "only" see them on the green line.  SouthCalifas619

    The first 24 trolley cars from this set (cars 1001-1024) comprised the first modern light rail cars in the United States, as what's now known as the San Diego Trolley's Blue Line, which originally went from the Amtrak Station to the International Border, was the very first modern light rail service in the United States. So in effect, with the retirement of this line of San Diego Trolley cars, came the retirement of the first modern light rail cars in the United States.

    As far back as November 1999, I rode the U2's on the orange line and the blue line. The original U2's were operated mostly on the blue line, particularly between 12th and Imperial and San Ysidro/Tijuana BC stations. All those trains on that line had announcements in English and then in Spanish. As late as 2014, they were still operating the original U2s, with a female English voice but keeping the male Spanish voice.
    Didn't many of these U2's go to Mendoza, Argentina?

Our oldest U2's from 1968 are already scrapped , but the newer ones are still in service. but we dont know how long :(

      SouthCalifas619 The SD70's are faster accelerating and top speed than the U2's, 50 mph vs 55 mph. Most U2's can barely climb past 40 mph in recent years because of their age. Got a connection with the Green Line at 12th/Imperial? You're guaranteed to miss it when riding U2's. I love them for nostalgia, but it's the best decision business-wise to retire them.

    i miss hearing these real trolley horns pass next to my house. Not these shitty fake artificial electronic sound recordings of them on the new trolleys.

    These German made streetcars have a bus-like face.... not very streetcar-look. Unique and durable

    Not to be rude but my friend who works for the San Diego Trolley told me he hated when he had to operate the U2'S maybe because of the brakes I'll never know. But besides that good night San Diego I'm going back to tenting my corner here in San Ysidro

      spfilms4449 Yessir. I've seen that one and the 1019 many times over the years. Glad they both found good homes.

      CoasterFan2105 Rumors of 1017 getting a new home to. Cant say anymore then that for now. ;D

    • @CoasterFan2105

      I've heard one is going to OERM. And 1001 will stay in special event service in San Diego.

    • @spfilms4449
      @spfilms4449 9 лет назад

      CoasterFan2105 Yes this is true 1017 isnt going to OERM but I do hope they get one. although I think they would put poles on it. 1005 is also staying in San Diego as a MOW car. I also got to say that I love the fact that SDMTS is keeping one of the U2s for there own preservation, not something many city's do.

    • @CoasterFan2105
      @CoasterFan2105  9 лет назад

      Must be a different car then that they're talking about sending to OERM then. I'll be interested to see where 1017 is going. Wherever it is, they'll probably have to shell out quite a bit of money or trade for another PCC for it. Last I know, MTS was selling them for upwards of 300K a piece.

    Three cars in Frankfurt have been refurbished the way they were delivered in 1968 for the first subway system that had been builded in modern Germany after 50 years.
    They are availaible for private tours throughout Frankfurt and for festivals of the transit authorities.
