Amazing how Atlantas trains look similar to WMATA's and the CQ311's and CQ312's are still going strong. MARTA is trying to expand the system more but the public just doesnt want it to, the citys highways are always jammed.
If you're still in Atlanta, you should check out the north end of the platform where the southbound trains come into Arts Center station. You can hear a low rumble and feel the breeze as the train enters the tunnel from over I-85 at a high speed. Also going Northbound from Arts Center to Lindbergh if you look out the right side of the train in the tunnel, you can see a stub tunnel from an unfinished line to Marietta veer off into the darkness. Sandy Springs is also special too. If you are there in the off hours when its relatively quiet, you can see the tunnel warning lights come on, followed shortly by the light ringing of the rails from an approaching train. And of course the rumble of them coming down the tunnel from either side. I remember experiencing that my first day after moving to Atlanta, and it was a magical experience.
I love MARTA. One of the “3 sisters” as I like to call them. 3 sisters are: MARTA BART DC Metro If you look around and look closely, those 3 systems share a lot of similarities with each other in terms of design and equipment.
Welcome back! MARTA is such a great system, sadly under utilized like most transit in the US. They are planning to expand the system but it will be cut back from the original plans and mostly be LRT or BRT. Also there is a cool system map in Peachtree Center Station back from the 90s featuring lines that were never built which I found really cool
CQ312s always had this propulsion. The CQ310s and 311s did not always have this propulsion as they had a different one when unrefurbished until they were refurbished

And the CQ310s which is the oldest.
Love that sound, just like in NY & Boston
And a bit like the BART in SF, very nostalgic for me
@@ratedpz9461it sounds almost exactly the same as BART’s legacy trains

Brother's
Bart is more family member to NYC subway, being built from the same company, I'm talking about the newer ones.
they were all built around the same time using the same federal money

0:05 that sounded like R188/R142A/R143
The propulsion system is the exact same, thats why they sound alike.
He’s risen from the ashes like a Phoenix! Welcome back!
Thanks!!!!!
Anytime
When the world needed him most, he returned!
The ATL Atlanta is booming 💥attractions, entertainment, education, businesses, travel, technology, population, and etc.
It’s a beautiful city!!!
The legend is back! Hope you enjoyed your break :)
Thank God, DJ hammers is back now. He could upload videos now.
Yep! After a short break, the channel is back!
Welcome back
How long your gone
He was gone for 3 and 1/2 months
DJ hammers are you going to do the R211T enter service on the F line in the fall
I love Marta I take everyday sometimes feel like you in NYC but Atlanta
Actually, I’ve been on MARTA before, and as a New Yorker, front end is R188, while back end is R142A
It Sounds Exactly Like The R142a And The R188 In NYC
These Trains and R142,R143 And R188 Has The Same Propulsion.
0:04 The propulsion sounds like an R142A/43/88
Same propulsion-
Same propulsion, always sounded like that
CQ312s always had this propulsion. The CQ310s and 311s did not always have this propulsion as they had a different one when unrefurbished until they were refurbished
The train ride is awesome there like wicked fast took the gold line to Doraville
THE MAD MAN IS BACK AFTER SO LONG
:D
Thank you kawasaki for spreading the 142a greatness
But this propulsion isn't kawasaki
wow it sounds like the r188/r143
Love the "singing" propulsion.
Atlanta trains are nice I never saw them
He’s back 💯
Haha yeah! More vids coming soon!
I wish that you could make a video called exploring marta's gold line.
Great system. Thanks Tim😀💚
Welcome back DJ Hammers. I was so worried about you. Did you capture one of the nostalgic train events
Very good video with an excellent coverage!
it sounds like the R142A and the R188 lol
edit: I liked my own comment
Same Propulsion…
how many times do i need to say that
Bruh they have the same propulsion
Nice!
Yay! Happy you’re back!🎉
Yes!! Woo! Welcome back man!
People are saying how the propulsion sounds like the r142's and all but no one is mentioning the type 8s in Boston D:
probably because the R142A is better known
Type 7 trains
@elizabethbobbio2601 it's the type 8s not 7s that makes the sound
@@JasonBentrosnowqube type 8 don't have the propulsion, type 7 has the propulsion.
@@JasonBentrosnowqube nvm found it
Did you also notice that the horns on these trains also sound like the NYC Subway?
cuz all of the trains are the same
Bruh not everything is exclusive to the MTA
This train sounds like the R142A,R143, and the R188
Yay he’s back!
Welcome back 👍👍
I’ve rode the Marta in Atlanta!!!!
Hey welcome back!
Welcome back, I really missed you ☺️
Thank you!! 😊
Cool see you in 4 months
Welcome back!
Thanks!
He's finally back
Yep! More vids coming shortly!
@@DJHammersTrains thank you 😊
Hey man, is that a Friggin wheel slip when the train pulls off yo?
man return uploading after 4 months.
Yep! Back to our regular scheduled programming :)
Hello, DJ Hammers Trains 😃😎
Wake up DJ HAMMERS UPLOADED
More uploads coming soon!
That propulsion sounds way too familiar (:
And The R143
It's always so low-rent when a transit system decides its trains need to honk before entering a station.
shoddy?
same propulsion as the r142?
R142A (not R142 which has Alstom traction/propulsion equipment). But pretty much yes (or very similar).
Inform us of when your taking a break next time please
At 5 points both sides open
And northbound Lindbergh Center
He returns real
💯💯💯
HES BACK
Thats right!
@@DJHammersTrains YAY
your back
Yup! Stay tuned!
Are these auto or driven by operator's
Both
It’s giveing R142/a
same propulsion…
Looks like dc trains sound like nyc trains
*explore*
Make More Videos
Lots of new stuff coming out :D
Why are you upload videos to late
