    It’s crazy that I’ve never seen this before. Thanks for sharing! Also, these trains have possibly the best sounding fake horns, in my opinion.

    Nice to see Houston’s light rail system getting some love. The red line is actually a very good light rail line. If it had a dedicated right away it would be really great.

    These fountains now are so wimpy. They used to spray water over the trains as they passed over the pools. In effect, cooling the air AND washing the trains.

  • @Ciana214
    @Ciana214 3 года назад +3

    Houston and Dallas/Fort Worth should have built heavy rail metro subways in the 70s and 80s instead of their light rail and too many freeways. The water feature is really cool though.

    • @KingAsa5

    • @BuffaloDoesStuff
      @BuffaloDoesStuff 2 года назад

      Expansion of the light rail system in Houston is probably a better option than a subway system due to Houston being prone to being hit with hurricanes but Dallas would do nicely with a subway system I’m pretty sure they’re already on it as the above comment mentions

    It looks amazing because it is in Texas. If this was located in New York City, the fancy fountains would be off/broken and the water would be filthy and full of trash. And maybe a few homeless bathing in it.

      @@shanewalters4171 The problem with Houston's network is that majority of the trackage is street running. Just like Phoenix's system and Twin Cities' Green Line, it's pretty pointless to build a light rail system that has to stop at traffic signals throughout the majority of the routes. Sure there are some proper grade crossings but that doesn't outweigh the amount of controlled intersections on the Houston network.
