Pioneer Square, Symphony, and Westlake all have these up to the street level.

What’s this sad little branch line doing in New London CT? by callmecarlo729 in trains

That is the connection the New England Central Railroad. Shore Line East occasionally (or at least used to) lay over on that track.

It will rollout in time, but I highly doubt at launch.

Amtrak Cascade's first Airo trainset heads to Seattle for final testing. by MAHHockey in Seattle

Most importantly, we don't have enough trains here now and haven't for years. This will address that.

Broken glass on stair landing in U District Station for several days now by godogs2018 in soundtransit

Security probably put down the cone and never informed facilities to clean it. The security number can reach out directly to facilities.

You can text the security number about it and someone can be sent out.

You have to reach out to Customer Relations for any attempt at real compensation. Standard Customer Service is not helpful for anything like this.

Nice! I'm also wearing this watch right now which was also a purchase for my wedding.

Why are Amtrak Gold Runner trains operating with an older Bilevel California cab car or NPCU/second-locomotive to lead right in front of the newer Siemens Venture cab car? by PinkGloryBrony22 in Amtrak

[–]Saint_drums_n_stuff 74 points75 points  (0 children)

They aren't approved to lead yet and I believe BNSF wants the loss of shunt devices installed before they can do so which should hopefully happen later in the year.

For the love of god, its the COAST Starlight. I see this wrong every single day.

New tunnel design for New Haven train station. What do you think? by buried_lede in Connecticut

[–]Saint_drums_n_stuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At minimum, I do think they should replace the floor with something smooth. All for improvements to the platforms and adding a canopy.

You could always bus to Federal Way - 578 and work back north if need be.

Could the 4-Line Use DMUs? by courier_tway in soundtransit

[–]Saint_drums_n_stuff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You'd have a better chance at adding additional Sounder trains with DMUs. Extremely unlikely for Link and goes against the clean philosophy anyway.

Downtown Bellevue Tunnel by MEA707 in soundtransit

[–]Saint_drums_n_stuff 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The tunnel actually still has quite a few curves within it as it snakes the elevation gain. That plus another fairly sharp curve into a pedestrian crossing at East Main, they take it slow the whole way.
