The U-bahn/Metro of Vienna, Austria, 2016

U-bahn in Wien, Österreich
-
With the October 2013 opening of the 4.2 kilometers (2.6 mi), 3 station extension of the U2 line, the five line U-Bahn network consists of 78.5 kilometers (48.8 mi) of route, serving 104 stations. It is the backbone of one of the best performing public transport systems worldwide according to UITP (International Association of Public Transport) in June 2009. More than 1.3 million passengers rode the Vienna U-Bahn every day in 2009, and 567.6 million passengers utilized the U-Bahn in 2011, which declined to 428.8 million passengers in 2013. The network is undergoing expansion and rolling stock renewal. Since 1969, 200 million euros have been invested annually in the extension of the Vienna U-Bahn.
The modern U-Bahn officially opened on 25 February 1978 (after test operations began on 8 May 1976), but two of the lines extended and later designated as U-Bahn (U4, U6) date back to the Stadtbahn ("city railway") system, which first opened in 1898. Parts of both the U2 and U6 originate from subway tunnels built to accommodate earlier tram lines. Only the U1 and U3 were built wholly as new subway lines.
Lines are designated merely by a number and the prefix "U" (for U-Bahn) and identified on station signage and related literature by a colour. There are currently five lines; U1, U2, U3, U4 and U6. Since the late 1960s there have been numerous suggestions of routings for a line U5 but all these projects have been shelved, until the construction of a new U5 has been announced in early 2014. Stations are often named after streets, public spaces or districts, and in some special cases after prominent buildings at or near the station, although the official policy of the Wiener Linien states that they prefer not to name stations after buildings.

@ 1:03 That sounded much like the Siemens R143 test train here in NYC (#8205-8212, which has since been converted back to the same motors as the rest of the R143s). OMG!

+chickenpommes99 yeah I pretty much figured that out in my travela around the globe...but I made this comment because this one sounded exactly like the train I mentioned. Not too many trains have exactly the same sounds...it's all in the chopper controlels and how each system sets them up which makes them somewhat unique.

[@volvofh_0750]

I love this sound!
