  • Welcome to my full ride video of the North Carolina CATS Lynx Blue Line! Our journey starts at the south terminal station, I-485/South Blvd and runs the full length to UNC Charlotte/Main station. Enjoy the view!
    On a sidenote, we were delayed in Downtown Charlotte due to a Military public demonstration. There's a couple of cool looking aircraft on my window side of the train.

    It would be amazing if the metro starts expanding south towards Carowinds. This would definitely help those tourist a bit.

    We were suppose to have a light rail built here in Durham/Chapel hill, but due to corruption it was later cancelled :/

      Nice! They've got a decent ride figured out. Hopefully it stays that way! I spent a lot of time looking at the construction of the rail bed and uprights, and everything else and it all looks high quality.

    I think it’s very cool. My dad wanted me to ride it to and from school but that never happened because my mom wasn’t a fan of me riding it by myself.

      I can imagine that's a difficult compromise, but it's always better to be safe than sorry. Hopefully someday you'll be able to use it more! Thanks for watching!

    Greensboro definitely needs a rail connector for high point and Winston-Salem that would be so convenient for commuters.

    In all honesty, I'd like to see an expansion of grade separation. Doing that can help alleviate potential conflicts between trains and road vehicles (in particular, the buses, trucks, and emergency vehicles), as well as reduce the potential for people to be struck by trains.
    Granted, I live in NYC, where the trains are mostly grade-separated, but I still think it would help.

    • @NTxRE
      @NTxRE  4 года назад +1

      It's unfortunate that it's so hard to predict the need to make the investment. Grade separation isn't cheap so it's hard to justify, but it's even harder to retroactively add it back later.

    1:00 Now that's something Lynx does better than MAX. MAX trains don't say the name of the next stop until they're about to arrive.

      Everything else is pretty much spot on. Route 23 should be added to 36th Street station, 16 can be caught at East/West, Bland St and Carson stations, but I doubt the city will do any editing.

      @@NTxRE ok, now I got you. I just talked to my son who lives in Raleigh and he explained to me that the train only travels around Charlotte, I thought the train would go to different cities like they do here in Germany. Florida is building a high speed train now going from Miami up the east coast to Orlando and eventually down the west coast and back to Miami.

    Hey there there is a walkway at DFW airport between the Texrail and the DART rail Orange Line maybe try to head back to Dallas to see the walkway between DART rail (Terminal A) and Texrail (Terminal B) Make a video Full Rides on Starting in Downtown Dallas at Union Station on the Westbound TRE to Fort Worth ITC or T&P then catch the Texrail Eastbound to DFW and then the walkway from the Texrail station and the DART rail station then the Orange line will take you back to Downtown Dallas in a full video I tried it before!
