Will they be able to put in a third track and get all day service on this line? From this video, it looks challenging in places and expensive, but not impossible.
Interesting video! Do you work for Sound Transit, or did you have to ask one of the conductors for permission to set up your tripod and camcorder in advance, before recording?
I do time-lapse videos as well, but behind the wheel in my Corolla. I have a few from the Seattle area; feel free to watch if interested.
Again, thanks for posting this; it offers a different perspective of transportation between the 2 largest cities in the Puget Sound region, and adjacent to the busy I-5 corridor.
I'm still kinda freaked about riding the train. I always fell like I'll get on the wrong one or end up who knows where lol but I might just ride it up to Seattle this week :]
This was awesome! My mom is the conductor on the Southbound Sounder and she thinks she was working that train if that 1505. :) We enjoyed watching this, and the reverse thing was super trippy! Especially the part with the bicyclist crossing after the train went through the crossing, but it looks like it's about to hit him!
This was 1505 on July 17th, but I did not see her, plus this ride had the cab locked out, so i had to hold it from the last seat all the way. I only saw 2 guys. I rode 1515 back in May and THAT train had a nice lady conductor who saw me filming from the cab area going backwards, and smiled! She didn't seem to mind my filming, which produced the other 3 videos i uploaded May 23rd and June 9th. =) Thanks for the kudos!

Fun vid, thanks! Can't believe I've lived here for years and have never taken this train. Now I have to take it for real.

It's funny that when it's in reverse, it looks like everyone decided to arrive for the train just in time!
