OK!! I've lived in LA for YEARS, and I never knew we had a sub:/....most people get around in bust-up cars or take the Metro!! :D

Its prob because I live in San Fern. that I never noticed-_-

[skripts1]

is this the one with all the history on the pillars or is that the hollywood one??????

[rcranium27]

@skripts1 I believe thats the Hollywood/Vine station.

I didn't notice but these trains sound very similar to the Newer R-160B Subway cars in New York

Just got back from new york. great subway system. L.A. is 100 years behind, but it will get there.

[ilovecrap]

it literally is a 100 years behind lol

@Xomanowar99 Los Angeles did have a 1,200 mile rail system until the early 60's then made the mistake of dropping the lines and building more freeways. The city is trying to rebuild the metro system but it will take some time. I agree with you that N.Y. has a great system. I was out east last summer and I rode an N.Y. subway train. Even though the car was dirty it was efficient transport.

sounds like our rohrs

[WmataRailFan]

they have the same motors

[denny906]

The D.C. subway has that same sound when slowing down.

[camwizardoz]

does anyone know what exactly causes the noise that the red line makes when it slows down whiles its decelerating in the station? thats the station that i get onto the red line btw :)

[MBTAguy]

That's the sound of inverters converting the DC power from the third rail to AC current for the traction motors.

[camwizardoz]

o, ok. thanx!

Someone wrote that the AC motors on this Red Line train does a nice startup sound. It'd be great if you could get a recording of that!
