- I tried an experiment with my GoPro suction cup mount on the outside
window of the Orange line. Recoded all sites and sounds
for about 20 minutes. Enjoy!

That was a great view. The GoPro Sessions 5 did well with picture , color and sound. I wonder if there is a way you could put a deadcat over the mic for wind noise. A few times it looked like it was going to hit the wall or post. Pretty cool how you can see I-66 east and westbound. I see you at the window 11:03, 11:57 Lets see more of theses.
Thanks. Not sure a dead cat would stay on. Might have to glue it
Made the new RODE mics would stay on.
That was awesome. Way to think outside the box(car).
Thank you. I thought it would be pretty cool video and it is.
The third rail gaps at 12:33 is where WMATA originally planed for the N Route Silver line junction turnouts to be. I have never gotten an explanation as to why the junction location was moved east to Great Fall Street. The only reason I can think of for moving it to Great Fall Street is because there is a traction power substation there. The third rail gaps at originally planed location connect to traction power tie breaker station. There use to be a set of third rail conduits stubs at the originally planed location junction turnouts to power the the N Route Silver line from the traction power tie breaker station.
Now we know. Thanks for sharing the information. I hope to do a similar video on the Silver line.
Hearing the motors on the train brought back memories of my trip to DC in 2017.
Glad you enjoyed the video and the memories.
GREAT TRAIN RIDE THANKS
I was not sure if the GoPro would stay mounted. Luckily it did.
It was pretty cool.
That was a great experiment. I especially liked the outdoor views with the reflections on the window. Glad the suction cup mount worked well. Thank you for sharing my friend.
Wow, so sorry it took 3 months to respond. The mount was great.
Glad you liked it!
That is so awesome!!! A great perspective of what it’s like outside of the trains while traveling both underground and outdoors. Thanks for the video!
It was kinda cool. My brother does a lot of Train stuff and I thought I would try this. thanks for watching.
Friggin awesome
Thanks William. I was hoping this would work. The suction cup mount worked great on this.
DC Metro Orange Line through the neighborhoods of Clarendon, Virginia Square, Ballston, Falls Church, and Merrifield, VA.
Yep.
That was interesting... thanks pj! how come no people on the train..? ..here you can’t find an empty seat when travelling the metro system!🤗
I have no idea why the train was so empty. Granite people aren’t working and these trains go through Washington DC.
COVID-19. :)
How dangerous that would be!
I have tested my GoPro suction cup on my car going a lot faster than the train does. So there was no real risk of it falling off unless it hit something like a bird.
JC that is dangerous imagine if the GoPro fell on the tracks and the train behind the one your riding runs over it
No way that was going to happen. I clean the glass and the suction cup to as clean as possible. The train does not go anywhere fast enough. Plus I did not want to lose a $400 GoPro for one shot. 👍
I want to see it on a red line
I will see what I can do. :)
Don't know if that is legal on Metro, but gives a good outside view though!
We all know it is probably no legal. But I can tell you I cleaned that spot on the window as good as it ever has been cleaned. Had a very good suction to the glass. Plus I knew the speed of the train is not as fast as my test on my car. It was a good view though. Thanks for stopping by.
@@PJGGolfer what did you use to clean the window?
@@morganlimes just a towel in my bag.
Yo, that video got my attention. I just wish that you can do that for the whole train ride of the Orange line! I got my video of the whole Orange line front view but it’s not surrounding like yours plus it’s behind the rail operators seat. on top of it it’s on a dirty window. I’ve seen some huge viewership onto my video as well you should probably go check it out. But dead honest I was a superb video idea that you made. If you fully committed on doing this, if I have the funds saving up i’ll do my best to contribute you a new GoPro if something goes wrong while filming the Orange line at the side of the car hits it or want not… if you’re not fully committed on my idea, that’s fine. I’ll be grateful that this train is what you could offer at the moment.
PS. Whatever you do, don’t reply to Jeremy Horowitz’s comment too much he keeps spamming too many times and it’s so annoying AF. He comments on every WMATA video including mine. I’m so surprised he commented your video. 😬
Thanks Orange Train Guy. I’ll keep it in mind. My brother is the train guy. I went with him one day and decided to try this. I cleaned the window and the suction cup good. Thanks for the support.
What PJ said 😃
I deeply remembered back nine years ago, a girl stuck her body out the window of a van and my dad was like, "That's crazy."
It’s still crazy today.
Nobody in my family including myself does anything extremely risky like riding outside of a Washington DC Metro Subway train car.
It was safe. No one was harmed.
The camera rode the outside not it’s owner. Duh.
PJG Productions, can you please do GoPro Mounted outside cab on the WMATA Metro rail Red, Blue, Green, Yellow and Silver Line trains if you could kindly upload the videos?
You have just told me that this is too dangerous. Now you want me to take the risk? lol I don't live near the other lines. Well maybe the silver line. It would be cool to do this on the way to the airport.
Jeremy, you don't need to keep spamming comments on other people's videos!
I see Jeremy everywhere in every wmata video
Did you get permission from WMATA to do this?
No I did not. No one around to ask.
How did you do this without getting in trouble and how did you manage to do this quickly? Those trains are always moving. You need to do this on all lines
You only get in trouble if you get caught I guess. I was sitting next to the door and I was ready to mount the camera and suction cup as soon as the train stopped. You usually have a couple of minutes before it starts moving. I knew the suction cup would be good. I have gone faster in my car, so I knew I would be ok. As far as on ALL the LINES, not to sure. But thanks. I was out with my brother who does make a lot of train videos. ua-cam.com/users/MarkTheLostTraveler
@@PJGGolfer I have been watching his videos before I found this one
@@legoboy12336 He always has some cool stuff.
What was the set?
Setting are in the description.
@@PJGGolfer oh sorry no I mean the set numbers. At the end of the video I saw the first digit being a 3, so you were on a 3000 series carriage (made in Italy by Breda)
@@TheSearleFamily123 It was a 3000 series. The interior of this was old.
I suggest that you never ever should do this outside of a Washington DC Metro Subway train car. It's extremely dangerous.
It was not dangerous and no one was harmed.
No, it wasn't awesome at all to think outside the boxcar.
Sure it was.
I suggest that nobody does anything extremely risky like this.
True
Nobody should ever do anything crazy like be on the outside of a Washington DC Metro car.
I was not hanging on the train. It was a small camera mounted.
It'd be safer if all hands, head, body, and feet were inside the subway car than outside the subway car.
See above answer.
@@PJGGolfer I am right.
Boy was that other guy correct. Jeremy posts a lot of annoying comments. Troll.
What a dangerous thing to do riding outside of a Washington DC Metro Subway train car!
I am sure you don’t think I was hanging on the side of the train do you? 🧐
Super-dangerous!
Not really. No chance the camera was coming off.
why did you comment like five times on this lmfao
Way, way, way, way, way too dangerous!
It would be for a human.
ratio
Not awesome for sure.

Of course it was awesome.
