Great video!!!

[gtafan2006]

actually i have descided that i am going to start out making the green line from clackamas north to gateway but to start out small im only going between ckackamas and fuller expanding northward as i find more reference materials. not sure if im going to use the s70 or s160 light rail trains as i found both on google sketchup i like the s160's more.

[Tylorolson]

I ride this all the time lol. I usually go gresham to gateway to clackamas or portland.

[gtafan2006]

dang am i the only one who wants to see this entire route and all trains made into a route for railworks 2?

[chadthaxmb87]

Lol train forgot to stop at 3:18

[punkrawker4783]

@chadthaxmb87 Well, they didnt exactly forget, this was filmed before the Green Line was open to the public, so it was more/or/less a test train if you will.

[bjspitfire13]

@chadthaxmb87 train was out of service.

This is the coolest freakin' video I've seen in a long time! What an awesome city. I can't wait to move there. :)

[Netbug009]

This is so cool! Thanks for sharing!

[sabian49015]

This is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. I can't wait to graduate college and move to Tigard. Are all the commuter trains this efficient? What's everything like in the winter?

[kdlehel]

[apdxguyhere]

[mathewnedico]

We just rode this today transfered from Gresham redline? onto this train greenline? to the town center, it was nice. however i think it would have been quieter if the bottom of the doors sealed up like the older trains did.....

[punkrawker4783]

The Blue Line is Hillsboro-Gresham, Red Line is Beaverton-Airport. The Green Line was built with Cement Ties, unlike much of the rest of the system that has wood ties, cement doesn't absorb much of the track noise, I have noticed this when riding this line. The older trains are even louder on this segment.

[Blackinterceptor999]

Oh! ok Thank you I didn't know that:) I think today we'll try and take a better look at the new tracks on our way to the CTC.

[Blackinterceptor999]

Mkay,today i rode on an older train on the new tracks and a new train on the old tracks and the wooden tie's really made a difference in the sound and feel of the train, the wooden ties absorb alot of the sound and vibrations:) But the cement ties I bet would last much longer saving us all a lot of money in the long run.

[punkrawker4783]

Yes, The cement ties are made to be more durable. They dont decay and rot when wet etc etc, supposedly cement ties give a smoother ride, but that is usually a trait when referred to heavy rail. You may have also noticed the sound got louder when crossing bridges, a giant cement bowl. I am glad they finally opened a line in this area.

[Blackinterceptor999]

Yes its very helpful for us since we cannot afford to drive all the time, But we live way out in Estacada so Trimet still has a lil work ahead of them here.The bus service pretty much sucks here, no late night and no Sundays:( heaven forbid you miss the last 30 on a Saturday!!!

[crazyboy72375]

o sweet my bad dude sorry

[crazyboy72375]

im just saying if that was a type four it be even better

[punkrawker4783]

It was a Type 4 Train.

[zenmachinefilms]

Cool! Really well done, and I liked the music too.

[livestockdana]

i like it

[AceTracer]

I wanted to watch this video but the annoying music was too much.

[punkrawker4783]

Mute the sound ;)

[bwah35]

Excellent job

[PDXDevelopmentComm]

Sweet. Love the music. How did you mount the camera? Just a tripod? Looks great.

[punkrawker4783]

I posted some info about that in my blog. =)

[rosecitytransit]

That's like the real thing. At about 1:05, you can see someone make an illegal turn onto Burnside. And at 2:01, in inbound train gets delayed. At 2:46, another illegal (I believe) turn.

[punkrawker4783]

I am putting together a video about 1:05 and 2:46, and its going so fast you can hardly see the guy that ran out in front of us at 1:23. As for 2:01, it was a yellow line, in real service she would have come down the same way we came up, we also held up the 2 trains at RQ and Convention Ctr you see come down. But oh well, we were the "Special" train, and not in a short bus kind of way =)

[PortlandsTransport]

WOW!

[davesbuspix]

Great job man!
