Los Angeles Metro Blue Line - 20th Anniversary

[wbcisgay]

Where are the NINJA TURTLES????????

[SUPERDAVIDLEVINE]

most of the blue isnot very scenic a I thought itwould be Iwonder what railroad thatparels theblue line is whenI was in LA the first timeiin 84 I saw anaboned tunle is it used for the blue I wonderoh, the bus ride was good and fastto long beach

[singwith]

@SUPERDAVIDLEVINE FYI, this is ex-Pacific Electric/Southern Pacific Line.

When I was little living in compton I lived right acrooss the street from the metro and always liked that noise for some reoson long beach and compton niga

[louky264]

Some of the patrons who ride the Blue Line are kinda hood and ghetto as it runs thru South Central and Compton and ive seen some disturbances/annoyances but folks dont bother you and being a lil streetwise helps too. Also the Blue/Expo needs a subway to meet the Gold Line near Union Station and grade separation and acquiring the parallel tracks and adding express services to long beach would really be cool. frieght trains already have the alameda corridor to work with

[SuperVillaTube]

1:15 the other tracks are those still active? on the right

[singwith]

@SuperVillaTube Yes. it's slow by it's still active RR track owned by Union Pacific.

Happy 21st Anniversary

The Blue Line is great, well, if you enjoy riding through the worst neighborhoods in Los Angeles. And that's no biggy, but it is annoying trying to catch up on the sports pages while there's a fist fight going on across the isle.

[militantangeleno]

Hate the sound of those electronic LRV bells. Wish they used the real onboard bells. Once in a while you'll hear them being used.

[timosha21]

If LA wants to solve smog and congestion problems in needs more lines like this... NYC is twice its size yet the smog and congestion proportionally to LA is much smaller

[gamersofthedead]

when will you upload more blue line videos

[MsRudekid]

Is Los Angeles the only city with that passenger train model?

[singwith]

@MsRudekid IDK. Hope someone else answer your question.

[militantangeleno]

@MsRudekid Yes, Los Angeles is the only city with the Nippon Sharyo P865 cars. Although St. Louis' Siemens-built LRVs would be able to fit in our light rail system.

[Bobcatonline]

Gee, this brings back happy memories! I remember taking my own video camera along this line. You get to see so much of LA that way because a lot of the line is above ground!

[singwith]

@Bobcatonline do i have them on youtube?

[SuperVillaTube]

1:41 the other day i was riding and i saw the train with that livery. also do you know if they put the p2550's on the blue line yet cuz i read on them and they said they'll put them on the blue ling and i was looking in the cab and a greyed out button said Blue line Setup

[Kreicherisch]

I miss Florence Station. I did my research project there for grad school.

[classof10100]

Both The Blue and Red Line are my favorites

[agentsmithone]

This is the best Blue Line video ever

[singwith]

@agentsmithone Thank you.

[amtrc]

twenty years im still happy the blue in is here. buses dont last as long as trains do because they burn combustable fueals and bumpy roads rattle's them apart long live the blueline in 1963 i took my last streetcar ride in los angeles .30 years i waited . im glad they came back. thank you singwith for remmbering 29 years of the blue it;s worth it

[singwith]

@amtrc You are very welcome and thank you for sharing your memories. Happy New Year!

[awsomej177]

I almost got killed by one of these cause these trains come every second and I had to enter the station by crossing tracks.I was at pico station.

[singwith]

@awsomej177 be careful...

[awsomej177]

The train at 3:20 might be the older metro blue line.

[SunBound28]

happy 20th annivesary you crazy blue line.

[SunBound28]

i love the blue line. i've gone through interesting experiences on that very line.

[kidduelists]

i love these trains during the morring and 4-7 rush hour, it has be at lease 50-75 trains going one wway at any time, so fast and efficent =) GO METRO BLUE LINE WOOO

[PanzerVIZeke]

Long live the Blue Line! Some say it's the most dangerous light rail, well I say fuck them because the Blue line was(and still is) the best light rail ever built. A worthy successor to the LA-Long Beach streetcar line. It's also safe to assume that those Nippon Sharyo LRVs have become a signature of the Blue Line.

[SuperVillaTube]

@PanzerVIZeke they are gonna put different cars on the line from what i have read cuz i was on a gold line and a greyed out button said blue line set up and there was a button for green line

[denny906]

Singwith, this is the best blue line video I have ever seen.

[singwith]

@denny906 Thanks!

[denny906]

Those ads plastered on the outside should be plastered on the inside.

[singwith]

@denny906 Agree

[lucian400]

[singwith]

@lucian400 Thanks!

[sanchezv8]

nice ive been aat some those spot best spots to see the blue line

[singwith]

@sanchezv8 Thanks!

[yardlet6]

Boy those trolleys are noisy with the ding donging and the ditch lights. It makes the New York subway sound serene. Are they going to build anymore heavy rail in LA?

[singwith]

@yardlet6 The Expo line to be opened in 2011.

[8k7k6k5k4k]

Are those K5LA horns on those trains?

[singwith]

@8k7k6k5k4k ahh, not sure.

[8k7k6k5k4k]

@singwith well they sure sound like it!

[CoasterFan2105]

@singwith Electronic K5LA's

[singwith]

@CoasterFan2105 why they called it as K5LA? It doesn't sound like K5LA to my ear!

[CoasterFan2105]

@singwith It's electronic. It plays the same chord as a K5La, just electronically reproduced.

[singwith]

@CoasterFan2105 Hey! It's time to go to bed! :P

[POOH875]

[singwith]
