This is a Rohr. I'm 200% sure. Rohr's make a distinctive high-pitch noise when they accelerate.

@Nabinut Good try, but that is a Rohr, not a Breda.

[Joey83812The]

@Nabinut Nope That is a Rohr.

Excellent video. I'm a New Yorker but my favorite system is the DC Metro.

Good lord, that PA system is up loud!

[Nabinut]

It makes a difference when there isn't anyone in the train as opposed to a packed car

[schuminweb]

Even with a full car, that's still loud, actually going beyond the limits of the speaker (that's why it has that fuzz in the sound).

I ride Metro daily, and even at Metro Center during rush hour, that thing's still really loud.

Nice, I think they are Ansaldo Breda cars IIRC.

[schuminweb]

Nope! Those are Rohrs. The Bredas that are still original have brown rubber handrails on the seats, and the rehabbed ones have the new interior.

Oh, okay thanks for the info. :-)
