[HD] Metro Purple Line - Full Cab Tunnel View Ride from Union Station - Wilshire/Western

Welcome aboard the Metro Purple Line! This train's final destination is Wilshire/Western station.
A couple days ago I had the chance to film out the front window of the cab of the Ansaldobreda A650 HRV from the origination point of Union Station to the train's final destination of Wilshire/Western. This is a very rare view that not a lot of people get to see. This particular A650 was equipped with traction motors by GE, which make the distinctive "whine" sound due to the DC to AC inverters. Thanks for watching and enjoy the sights, sounds, and exhilaration of riding through the underground tunnels of Downtown Los Angeles at 55mph!
*NOTE: This is a re-upload with a new version of the cab ride with a clearer window.

I took this train with the 720 to get to Union Station to get to Riverside to see my wife. It's neat to see it from the front!

[@paintkiller93]

that's quite a journey lol

[@Ponicalica]

@@paintkiller93 it really was! Came out to three+ hours on a good day, longer if there were delays or I missed a train

12:50 I can't wait for them to puncture that wall for the extension

Guess what LA Union Station will be part of academy awards on April 25, 2021.

[@albertcarello619]

@emvvehicle...: That will certainly be a real mess when they do that. When the construction is complete this will be a real welcome extension.
