    I like how the E line now goes underground then surfaces for one station then back under. Great cab view :)

    The last time I was in Santa Monica, there was no Metro. The corner where the Santa Monica station is located was the Sears Automotive Center. Things sure changed!

    I took the same ride on opening day at around 5:30pm on a Friday. It took me one hour and five minutes to travel from Santa Monica to the Indiana station. Had I driven that same distance it would have taken me 1.5 stressful hours during rush hour on a Friday.

    Great the regional connector is finally open. Not so great is, how incredibly slow those trains are - even on the newly built tunnel tracks. Not to speak of those hundreds of traffic lights that are not optimized for or controlled by the arriving trains. In a modern city those traffic lights would give the light rail the righti of way as soon as a train comes closer to the intersection.
  • It would be interesting to see,just how much the Pacific Electric/ Los Angeles Railway,track maps,would coincide with the current LAMTA maps! Definitely,the current LA system is the old PE on steroids! Thanks for the trip,and nice photography πŸ“Έ!! Thanks 😊 πŸ™!

    Super interesting! Really nice to experience this with you. Thanks!
  • Sometime in the near future we will be able to connect to the K Line at Crenshaw and ride all the way down to the SODA BARRRRR!!!!!!

    0:39 - the red dump truck, it was pretty close. I am sure accidents will happen. American drivers need gates to stop them from running red light.

    Great Video! It would be nice if there were gate crossing to speed up service. However, it's a great video!
  • They should add that DLC for Train Sim world 3 in realistic, now that would dope Af.
  • Do the cab rides of the new A Line (Blue) (a.k.a. "Pasadena and Foothills Blue Line") from Long Beach to Azusa and the new E Line (Expo/Gold) from East LA to Santa Monica.

    Wish the P865/2020 were still around to run these routes for one last time.
  • When they designed the Regional Connector, couldn't they have banked the tracks on the curves or something, so the trains wouldn't have to slow down so much?
