Alstom 6000-Series train departs Fort Totten station

A train of Alstom 6000-Series cars, running Green Line service to Greenbelt, departs Fort Totten station. "JB", a friend of mine, is making faces at me in the window as the train departs.

How can you tell the difference between each series of cars? Where do you look?

@s7o0a0p I actually wrote a piece on this for my own site that explains everything. You'll have to de-obfuscate it, but here's the address:

@s7o0a0p I've also added the URL to the description.

@schuminweb so this video was planned? :P

[schuminweb]

@redsoxguy617 I planned to film the train's departure, since I am a bit of a transit nerd. The funny faces were not planned, but they certainly do make for an amusing video.
