    Can we see a behind the scenes video of the Branch Ave, Falls Church and Glenmont Yards in the near future? The Branch Ave one we don't see much on camera despite being very visible and being just as fascinating as any other yard facility and the Glenmont one is one not many people know about since Glenmont the station is underground and all.

    Those trains have much less clearance under the truck than one would think. I noticed the same on MARTA as well. But it is a proven design.

    They are using both jacks and traditional inspection pits? Interesting decisions.

      @@Caitsith810 there are a couple of places I know where they can build yards, for one they can build a new yard under the connection between the 3 and the L where they keep all the extra tracks and tunnel parts, it's a huge space that looks like it'll be able to hold 15+ train cars on one track

      Or Branch Ave or Glenmont. The Glenmont one is definitely a unique one and one you wouldn't expect because of Glenmont station being indoors
