Yep, These days only 3 full bombardier sets run(btw when I say 3 I mean like 3 different 3 car trains, so 9 in total), But there’s I believe around 20 something of them in service probably at Franklin Depot or at Target Field depot, Some of the Bombardiers are sent to Louisiana to get a full scale reparations
Yes indeed, currently just the Northstar line but it makes a solid station connection at the bookend of both LRT lines, at Target Field. Great for Twins and Vikings games!
woah I didn't realize the city coupled 3 of these trains together. I always thought it was weird that they use low floor trams, but seeing how long they can be it actually makes a little more sense. I'd love to see this system evolve with more grade separations and truly become a little Metro network in the future.
@@TransitAndTeslas Especially once the blue / green line extensions open up, they'll have great coverage. The Twin Cities are making moves now to have one of the best systems in the region
Don't you love
trains, trams, aren't they all beautiful :)
come take a ride! (at folder 2, look my way)
AT first I thought the bombardier cars had been retired but they're just outnumbered greatly
The Flexity Swifts are only used on the Blue Line. The Green Line only uses S70s
@@nathanielcoleman5694 Actually mainly during night time if your lucky, You will spot a Bombardier on the Green line it’s rare tho

Does Minneapolis have commuter rail too?

@@goldenstarmusic1689 Ohh okay that’s good. How far does the Northstar go from Minneapolis?
@@matthewhernandez8342 Out to Big Lake MN, with a bus transfer to St Cloud. Plan is to fully extend the Northstar out to St Cloud for a one seat ride!
@@matthewhernandez8342 Northern Lights Express will go all the way to Duluth/Superior
Its so surreal so see places I have been and pass by every few days viewed as an interesting topic.
Absolutely awesome shots. Love the dinky train at the beginning, potential student driver?

Seattle and Phoenix runs 3 car low floor trains.
They’re quite good at forming a backbone for public transit.
