SLOW Traction Elevator @ Wheaton WMATA Station - Wheaton, MD

- (1-12-20) This is the second deepest station in the WMATA system, and it doesn't have high speed elevators. It has the longest escalators in the western hemisphere, but it also has one, super slow, and out of the way elevator. I find it interesting how Forest Glen has 6 high speed elevators and this has only one slow elevator.

Wow, wish I would've known this was there back in the day!
Honestly, it’s easy to miss. You gotta go all the way to the end of the platform and it’s hiding in the corner.
This is just like 34th Street - Hudson Yards station in New York City, but those were really slow. They travel only 1 floor in 2 minutes. I did it on my stopwatch. This is cool though. Hudson Yards have EXTREMELY long escalators. I never heard that floor-passing chime ever. This thing is cool.
I've never been to NYC.

Wow! That runs at about hydraulic elevator speed!
It seems like it.
It is slow. Slow enough to have spring buffers in the pit like a hydraulic elevator.
3:17 imagine getting off the elevator and you miss the train
That would be really annoying
Installed in 1990
Where'd you find this?
@@stlelevators I looked up when the station opened
Cool! It could have been installed a little before the station opened as well.
ROCKET!
Ok somebody needs to speed this thing up! Maybe make it go 300-350 FPM or something?! This may be a good 150-175 FPM
Yeah, it's way too slow :P
Thats SOOOO SLOW MEN WTF just take the bigs escalators lol
Watching this b/c insomnia is acting up The only metro elevator I avoid like the plague.
How deep is this station?
~164 feet deep
NW Indiana Elevators Why are SV and A1-A3 all locked?
Sarah Edwards Empolyee use only
@@ethancampbell6076 i wonder what those floors are used for?
Sam Sitar I was just wondering the same thing!
what a ssslllooowww elevator.
They will definitely need to upgrade it at one point. This is not acceptable for a station this deep!
Slower than the US norm for a 160 foot travel distance. 5 seconds longer delay at the top landing and I would add an extra 50-100' per minute to the top speed :)
It's funny - This is not on the records...
Wow that’s slow
Very slow
Aidan Patterson Not that slow; about 175 feet/minute
Aidan Patterson The elevators at one of the office buildings in my downtown go up 25 floors in just over a minute; it’s about a 2 minute 30 second round trip if you account for leveling and door opening and closing time.
Sarah Edwards generally speaking, it’s not that slow. But for a Station this deep, this is pretty slow
I have ridden this before
