Going to Town - 1985 SkyTrain project documentary

[garycalgary]

I fell in love with Vancouver in 1986 and returned regularly from 1998-2009. The nose the skytrain makes is still a welcoming sound to me for some reason. 

mmm child dassa good video lol

[TTOMO]

20:14 is hard to believe. This whole video serves as incredible time travel to me. What a great documentary!

Just look at the mid-eighties optimism. We sure could use a dose these days!

I love the skytrain, but it is kind of upsetting being reminded that it is as old as I am!

I really liked watching the skytrain being built :) I liked how they showed the band at the end xD

The Vancouver SkyTrain is so awesome and really important for the city of Vancouver. I hope you Vancouverites can appreciate it! Building that Canada Line from the Airport to the Waterfront Station really brought Vancity to the 21th century and makes traveling for us tourists so much easier. :)

@Atanith99 And don't forget the Evergreen Line and the Expo and Melinium Line expansions.

Sometimes I love it when I catch an old expo skytrain even though it's not quite as comfy as the new grey ones. Just because it's vintage. 

[SuperWarioWorld285]

When construction began, the original van. trolleies were in their first years of service.

[kingofthisuniverse]

it was quite smart to cut all the parts when a train completely stops

brakes on mk I trains must have always been squeaky,this noise would ruin the magic

1985, a good year all around. ;-)

Thanks for posting this, it was pretty cool.

Wow... It's awesome when they let real writers and film makers do stuff like this. These days it's usually left to inept P.R. hacks trying to convey some lame "message". This is an entertaining, informative and absolutely capitvating snapshot of Vancouver's transit history. It's worth your time to Google the names of the people mentioned in the credits... Props to them!
