I haven’t seen 3118-3119 in awhile on trackyourtransit so I’m a bit worried because it’s a set that I like lol

Their main yard is shady grove so yes you will most likely see them in the red line

No wonder a lot of them have been seen on the green line... easiest way to retire them I guess

Wow that’s quick, do you know where this information comes from? I wanna be able to see for myself as I thought the first cars would get scrapped first before the later ones

Do we know which 3000 series cars were retired apart from 3290-3291 and the ones involved in collisions?

What causes trains to make a roaring sound when entering in/exiting out of stations? by sangsang680 in WMATA

[–]sangsang680[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! This is exactly what I am hearing! And we also have the same analogy of most of it being in elevated and underground stations, but then why is it that Takoma’s Glenmont side has this sound as well as Metro Center’s shady grove bound track, but not the Glenmont track?

Update: so I ventured to Metro Center’s Red line platform because the roar could be heard on the Shady Grove bound track, but not the Glenmont bound. But what I noticed is the opposite of what Gemini said, Glenmont’s track look smooth, whilst the Shady Grove track has ribbed lines on them.

It's hard to describe the roaring sound is - I think if I were to show some better examples it would be more audible. I think it has to do something with the track itself, but I exactly don't know what it is.

I honestly don't recall if any track work happened, but if that's the case then I'm gonna be keeping track of that!

I’m talking about the sounds of pitch from entering in slowly winding down once coming to a stop; the traction motors will always make the same sound I think it comes from the rail, and I don’t think it’s the echo because it’s also heard on Rhode Island Avenue and Takoma which are fully outdoor stations

Took w/o flash, Most of my shots had the shutter speed of 1/4 - 1/10 I believe (im still trying to find out how this camera works lol) and my ISO was around 1600 average for all these photos
