Very smooth!

@david33mtrb do you know where we might find a video of the "trAAin"?

@jack9547 For the old people mover system, the boarding platforms in each terminal were accessed by going down one flight of stairs from where the gates where located. But once it left the terminal, the track was at ground level, outdoors. So it would be a stretch to have called it a subway. For more information on the old system, go to Wikipedia and do a search for "Airtrans APM."

This is Skylink at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. This automated, bi-directional system opened in Spring 2005 and connects all five terminals. Trains run every two minutes and travel at speeds up to 35–37 mph (56–60 km/h) The biggest improvement over the old system is that the concrete bed is heated in the winter with an internal system when needed to prevent freezing. For more info., check out Wikipedia's entry on this.

Haven't been to DFW in about 16 years

That airport is huge

Suecotube, no! I just figured out, not in all cases. If you get out at the proper gate and need to make a connection, then you just keep walking and don't need to take the train.
is this the old DFW system or the current one

Unfortunately I don't know; I was had a connection there going from Argentina to Mississippi. I wish I had had the time to visit Dallas!
