I have never been to an Ikea.

Yeah, that garage is the Four Mile Run bus depot. There's the Metrobus side and the ARTransit side. Been a CNG bus depot since 2005.

ah the 550, only bus I ever use, won't exist though once the light rail opens

Great video on the money train in DC

I relish the opportunity to see the pickle in person. It’s really faded since I saw it in the alexandria yard 10 years ago. If I am not mistaken the money train has off loaded in the facility in the Alexandria yard for awhile. I have seen the guards take the empty cart out of the vault at gallery place and get on the elevator to empty the fare machines then it goes back in a vault to be exchanged later for an empty one on the money train.

6:36 my favorite track to leave from at Albany-Rensselaer is track track 💯💯🔥🔥

The Pickle has that UK DMU acceleration 😳

Is there good luck for us watching the video?

Between 8th and Market and Chinatown the tunnel is shared with the PATCO eastbound track. On occasion you will see the trains running side by side. There is still a connection there but the switch itself was removed. The old southbound Ridge track is used by Patco for midday train storage.

Little town...? Our metro is of a population comparable to New Orleans! o_O

2:08 MUSTAAAARD! I normally dont comment on videos that often, however that does not change the fact that these trains are awesome videos are amazing in capturing the various different ways that public transportation is done, and highlighting the similarities and differences between them, and also highlighting the behind the scenes like in this video here. Merry Christmas!

The money train - reminds me of the Wesley Snipes flick of the same name!

Metra is getting Battery FLIRT Trains!!

Its like an old, rough draft of some of those airport shuttles you can find at big airports like the plane train in Atlanta Georgia's international airport. I'm happy to say I've used both of these systems. I'd rate the the PRT higher for the commitment to the experiment in an under developed slice of the US, but the Plane Train definitely wins the contest for smoothest ride of the two.

3:11 POV: what mrbeast needs for his money to come from the bank to his house...

Track geo vehicles or geo trains are really nifty. I'd seen BNSF's 3-unit version (locomotive, loaded hopper, geometry car) in person while railfanning at La Plata (Mo) Rail Days, but I finally saw one of CSX's self-contained "boxcar" geo vehicles embedded within a consist less than a month ago, with measurement lasers blazing from the bottom. That was cool.

NJT and Amtrak call the track geometry vehicle a Track Geometry Inspection Vehicle, or TGIV. Solves the name conflict.

The pickle and the feeler cars are my favorite metro has/had I have video of the pickle at brookland station from 8-9 years ago

Man I miss the trains in DC, I lived in DC for 6 years and I moved in June, I enjoyed my last trip riding the 7000 series on the yellow line, moved out to Colorado

Money Train. The perfect straight to streaming title featuring a washed up Y2K action hero.

I thought money trains are no longer a thing all over the world.

Yo I like your new intro

I love buses. They require much less infrastructure, therefore buses are easier and quicker to get up and running compared to trains. I do love a good train though. I take the Southshore line to Chicago often

NICE TREE🌲...VERY NICE TRAIN...LOVE THE SUBWAY TUNNEL THE PICKLE RIDES THROUGH...THE ROOF DESIGN...MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!❤️🌲🚆👍

Seen the money train a couple times, will be on the lookout for the pickle if i ever see it.

1:54 I'm gonna hold you to that if I see it next time I'm in DC lol

That gold livery looked great, but it also shouted “I’m full of money, please rob me,” so I think I understand why they changed it. Sure, it had armed guards, but so do a lot of things that get robbed.

Basically we don't these for any metro systems, except big metros... But not London expect some of it

In all my years riding Metro never ever seen them. Great to know great video. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!!

0:26 that same chime use on Adelaide 4000 electric train’s for drive tell you what happened

4:52 Kitty!!!! 🐈‍⬛🐈😍

Awesome Video! Merry Christmas, Thom , to you and your family 😊.

ive seen the pickle before i ever saw the money train, of which i still havent seen with my own two eyes to this day. says a lot about my life too xD

You can pronounce TGV in French or English to make the distinction.

So if they combined the pickle and money units into one, would that be relish?

Awesome! Didn't know about either. Thanks for the educational moment.

Interesting that the pickle doesn’t activate the platform edge flashing lights…wonder if that’s tied into the 3rd rail somehow?

A money traint heist would be a great idea for a movie

I never seen the pickle only the yellow money car

Watch out for Woody Harrelson trying to rob the money train.

Brilliant video sir. Happy Christmas to you n Lindsey.

Great video. I've seen the money train once many years ago. I never about or have seen the Pickle though. It would certainly be one exception to me saying "hold the pickles."

i have seen the money once at king street

Thom, you are so informative about trains, buses and all things public transit wise. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us all. Just outta curiosity:, you know who does that swinging version of O Little Town of Bethlehem at the beginning? It’s a great version. Merry Christmas to you and Lindsey and may the New Year take you to many more places.

More often than not, I’ve seen the geometry vehicle at the Brentwood yard, than the money train.

Regarding @ 5:50, I believe people with maximum carry-on baggage know that there is limited space in overhead bins and under the seats in front of them. They try to get in front of the line to have a better chance of not having to check their carry-ons then face delays getting out of their arrival airport waiting at baggage claim -- which they are trying to avoid by maximizing their carry-ons. It's always amusing watching people ram their bags into overhead bins when the luggage is clearly too big and observing the attendants patiently offer to check their bag.

I have seen the money train on Metro.
