it didn't even come all the way out--they need to fix the engine or something!

At the time this was taken, the overhead wires had not yet been installed. They have been now, and testing has been under way on part of the system for about a month.

Welcome to the 20th century, Seattle.

Seagulls are saying  HELL YA SOMETHING ELSE TO SHIT ON ALLRIGHT

[bobbbbbable]

Ha ha, totally agreed. Seattle is slow as hell. Two other big northwestern cities, Portland and Vancouver, had light rail systems long before Seattle, and both are smaller than the Emerald City!! WTF?!?

[GeekTeen2]

Nice but why a light rail when Seattle already has a monorail and a tram?

@headwes Hey Portland,

You can talk crap when you finally get a building over 200 feet. Your greatest claim to fame is the fact that you can open a strip club across the street from a grade school. And you have more dirty hipsters. Cheers, Seattle

Sounds like dolphins when the train came out

@XianSlader The trains don't kill anyone, the idiots who don't pay attention around the tracks kill themselves.

I love the smug Seattle laugh in the background throughout the video.
