Most people don’t know coming from Seattle to Beacon Hill on the left wall of the tunnel shortly after you enter there are signs light up with playing cards as you go by. It’s fun to watch for them & see what poker hand you get!!
@@realquadmoo have you ever been to another country? It's not even a tram train. It's just tram in tunnel like Frankfurt am Main U-Bahn or Koln/Bonn Stadtbahn.
@@realquadmoo you really haven't left the USA have you. Karlsruhe trams travel at 80km/h (50 mph) whilst South Wales Metro does 100 km/h (62 mph) whilst off street and railway light rail running. Even my local DMU ( now over 35 years old) do 75 mph on the mainline
@@nixcails Our trains go 59mph and are technically capable of 65mph. This isn’t the UK. Our trams here hardly go faster than 30mph. Link goes faster than NYC’s subway. If you want to see a tram in a tunnel look no further than Muni Metro in San Francisco. We chose light rail trains, not subway trains, and not tram trains. We’re building it out like a metro system because it is, the only difference is the type of train, catenary method, and platform height.
That’s true. When I post these videos I like to capture the entire suspense from when you first feel the gush of wind as the train enters the tunnel and then it slowly gets louder and louder and louder until the train arrives. In my future videos, would you like it if I included timestamps to when you can first see the train instead?
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
Absolutely! More where that came from!
I was very confused. Didn't realize there was also a Beacon Hill in Seattle
HAHAHAHA yep!!!

Siemen train comes inside in under two minutes.
That's a tram not a train.
It’s a train. Trams are small and run on or adjacent to streets. Even if this was classified as a tram, trams are still trains anyway.

@@nixcails No, these trains are much faster, larger, and higher capacity than what you find on Streetcars and Trams.

Could’ve be exactly 1 minute shorter…
You saved me a minute! Thank you!
