Metro Transit Light Rail Operations & Maintenance Facility

Take an informal tour of the Metro Transit Light Rail Operations & Maintenance Facility located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This video includes footage of light rail transit (LRT), including light rail vehicles (LRVs) in operation and the vehicle's interior including the driver's cab/seat. The video also includes an inside look at the regional control center where the trains are tracked from. Thank you to everyone at Metro Transit who made this video possible!

Transit barns like this one is where the compliments and complaints end up at via email. As an ambassador like me knowing what goes on underneath the cars and inside, thru one complaint to my supervisor with the car's ID number seen usally on the side, along with the run number mounted by the windshield wipers, they track it by computer and they know what department in the shop to send the car.

That is a AWESOME video. I've been taking the light rail for awhile now. I'm very happy with the time it takes to get from point A to point B.
