Just as I remember it. oh that cold rain

[@NTxRE]

It made for great ambience, I personally enjoy the gloomy weather over anything hot!

Used to ride this line from Pentagon to Huntington Station way back in the 80's when I was assigned to Fort Belvoir.

[@NTxRE]

Very nice! Thanks for watching!

[@JaredRouse8465]

Wow, a CSX freight train running along side a subway train! I never experienced something like that her on the NYC MTA trains. Although, I do see some freight cars laying around every once in a while.

[@NTxRE]

Yep! I was surprised to see them too!

[@railfanben5935]

This is one of the best WMATA rides I have watched

[@NTxRE]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed! There's more where that came from

@@NTxRE glad to hear that

6:20 “This is a 7000 Series Train.” Never heard that before. Must be a Rare Announcement.

[@NTxRE]

For a brief period of time, the 7000 series had inadequate barriers between trains to prevent hard-of-sight passengers from falling in between cars. During the transition to the improved barriers, the 7000 series used this announcement to alert to the possible danger.

@@NTxRE Thats good to know, because I was on a trip from New Carrollton to Wiehle Reston East and that played over and over and got pretty annoying

[@maverick114e9]

@@NTxRE I remember this issue being a problem, there was a story about a blind dude who fell into the tracks at grovsner strathmore and barely climbed back onto the platform before the train left. Glad tk see action was taken on this bug

@@NTxREI always just thought metro was bragging about the new cars

[@saulantonioamayareyes4404]

Great Train

[@isntabelle]

I have never heard the announcement at 5:48 when did they start using it?

[@NTxRE]

I'm not sure unfortunately, all I know is it was there when I filmed it in 9/2018. I did have an earlier trip before then but I don't remember the announcements at all

[@SG118P]

Ronald Reagan Airport Train platform view is Awesome Because you see plains going by

[@Sophie_kent]

Does it go to gallery station?

[@NTxRE]

The Yellow Line does in fact go to Gallery Station. That isn't a part of this video though. The WMATA Metro Website has a map if you need any more answers
