Cool video! What is the name of this subway station?

[metraF40PH163]

@Megahammerheadshark This is Brook Park, it's by the airport

[TheGiantAssasin]

you should go down  to the cleveland steel mill. they let me actually drive one of the trains, and got to look around the repair shop, and refueling station.

[metraF40PH163]

@TheGiantAssasin Oh belive me I wanted too. That was on my list of places to go but, my family was with me & they are not into trains. I am probably going to go back in 2012 to railfan the RTA & The stell mill railroads, that's really nice they let you operate them

The "LRVs" (Light Rail Vehicles) that you mentioned in the description are part of the RTA's Green and Blue lines.

[metraF40PH163]

@2001rtm Yeah, I sat by the waterfront line for a half hour and nothing. Thanks

Cool video! Reminds me of Metrorail in Miami!

[metraF40PH163]

@rufec12 Thanks!

[SkyhawkACE123]

Pretty cool stuff they got going on there! Do they normally only run two-car trains? LOL "that was pointless...."

[metraF40PH163]

@SkyhawkACE123 Yup, that's the max 2 cars. They sometimes only run 1 car! Thanks

[TrainGuy18]

Is it a fairly new system? the cars look older put they have newer style pantagraphs. Nice video!!

[metraF40PH163]

@TrainGuy18 No, the RTA has been around for a great deal of time. They used to run PCC's and old subway-like cars. These cars are not really that old and date from around 1985. Thanks! Oh, Also I am going to send your prizes out really soon. Sorry for the wait.
