Fastracks RTD SECC Trex Light rail Denver Colorado rr tour

Denver uses the tracks to kill pit bulls

The Denver trasit system closed their last streetcar lines in 1950 and that was really stupid. I too am glad to see Denver expand light rail. The furthest north the line goes is the 30th and Downing transit station. And yes, it needs to go further north. Plus the line needs to serve areas along I-70. Siemens really makes some good products.

[PikesPeakOcean]

We don't even have this inColorado Springs at all, we barely hve ay public transportation

[SummerGameProject]

this is how fast this goes?? o_o

...WEAK...

[maryhyphenkay]

thats nine mile station

[spacewalker1551]

Other than conservation, if the cars can out run the train whats the point? We Americans need speed: like yesterday. San Antonio is supposed to get a mass transit rail system, but it most likely going to be too slow for it's purpose.

[MrKevin1a]

We need high speed rail. Most American's shun the inconveniece of having to walk from the station to your destination, but if it was so fast that the trip and your walk still got you there faster than speeding down I25 or one of the other major roads in Denver then people would likely be more inclined to ride it. Denver does have one of the best transit systems in the nation.

Light rail sucks, it doesn't go anywhere anyone really goes and if it did it would cost to much for anyone to ride it. Colorado has had a trolley-train sort of system like this before, and it got ripped out because noone rode it and it was a waste of money.

[greenboy623]

I dunno man, it might not go anywhere you need to go, but try any other light rail system. You'll see then that Denver's RTD ain't that bad. For example, it is TEN times better than my own city's f**king VTA light rail.

[redsnowman34]

So I've heard. That will be great, and a huge moneymaker for RTD when that happens.

[redsnowman34]

the light rail was a great thing to do, although our rush our is still hell. it goes up to 55-60 mph like christman84 said, and it would be real cool if it did go to DIA.

[TheRapture303]

They are planning to expand it to DIA within the next 5 (?) years.

[waystedyears666]

I wish to move there! Awsome video!

[pjkeeve]

They need to run this thing out the Denver International and get some low-floor cars so they don't have to use those dumb ramps. But the system itself is already fairly comprehensive...and kudos for buying Siemens LRV's.

[christman84]

Thats in the works for the furure tracks to go to DIA

[petey8080]

Nice for the people south of Denver. Us up north got screwed. Our traffic is the first to back up every morning and last to clear. There is usually a backup at 7:00pm on the north side.

[SkipW]

Thats the truth! there are 3 lines south of colfax ave. this 1. on I-225, 2. the line on I-25 and 3. santa fe to mineral line all 3 of these lines lead to Douglas county also the county who refused to join the rtd taxing district forever and the folks up north got squat what is wrong with this picture

[sk8todie15]

did the train start at nine mile

[1mile2go]

10-4,thats around I-225 & Parker Rd.

[christman84]

[PatrickArgentina]

Cool video, thanks for sharing.

[SPS148669]

I live in edmonton,canada and today our city got "Next-Gen" SD160 trains. Their kinda resemble your guys but rounded of contours to look sleeker. May 8 2008. I made a video look it up in the search engine.

[SPS148669]

Why did it stall out on the bridge at the end of the video?

[SkipW]

they stopped to point out some details that i edited out because you couldnt see them from where i was at

[growchronic]

tats de worst video ive ever seen

honestly

[Slimtech3000]

The light is fast. I went to Colorado last summer and i got to ride it.

[GlobetrekkerYYC]

Is this an SD160?

[MrKevin1a]

I think ridership would go up if it went a least as fast as traffic, but I do understand the whole traffic thing. I-25 can get pretty jammed up, and with this you can breeze through. Anyone know if the trains are Wifi equiped? Now all they need to do is run an intercity express between Colorado Springs and Denver for commuters.

[adawg25]

The RTD isn't very fast...

[JimmySand9]

What are you talking about? For a light rail system, this one can fly.

[christman84]

They go 60mph, then they shut down if they get going any faster

[purplepooh88]

Looks like its goin slow i remebr it faster isnt it??

[tmc110]

Sweet, I left Denver just as it was being completed for school in MN, I am from Hampden Heights, Southmoor Park, by Tamarac Square mall. Worked in Lone Tree of of Lincoln, I miss Denver, Minnesota is not the same!

[SkipW]

that was saturday morning, at the rush hours the cars are bumper to bumper stop@go like 5mph and you could walk faster!

[ndawg25]

looks like it's faster to use a car.

[dumycrasher]

Yeah, untill you hit trafffic.

[will107]

I ride to school on the new line from Colorado to Littleton

[StingrayZO6427]

Hey, I'm right up the street from the Littleton station. Pretty cool stop.

[strtvndl3]

me 2

[wawonia]

55 mph is the top speed.

[brfts2001]

what's the top speed of the RTD?

[SUNDANCE5220]

YOUR STEAM TRAIN VIDS ARE MUCH BETTER

[sling4ever]

Can't wait to ride when I get back to Denver in December.

[trainmanwp]

Nice Video!
