Nice!!!! I think Stadler has hit the mark for life with the Flirt and all its offshoots.

4:53 this part is slightly incorrect - the first Stadler trains operating in the US were actually GTWs on the NJT River Line, running between Trenton and Camden, NJ. Those trains started running in 2004. Austin’s Red Line was the _second_ line in the US to operate Stadler trains, when their fleet of GTWs began running on the line when it opened in 2010. You might want to make a note about this error in the description, just to get the facts straight. But cool video otherwise!

You are totally correct! I 100% forgot about the river line when making this video. They look like entirely different trains that I just never consider them to be part of the Stadler family. Thanks for pointing this out!

10:05 I am very surprised to see this type of train with you ^^. Here in Europe, the FLIRTs, as we call the series from Stadler Rail, can be seen very often. It's crazy that trains like this go to America. You can see how good train construction is in Europe. ^^

USB sockets onboard: I'd have to check them specifically, but that arrangement has two broad problems. First, installers often cheap out and install the lowest power 5v, 500ma power supplies, meaning many modern phones won't even register as charging, much less laptops, and this problem only increases. Secondly, sockets like this are a standing invitation to criminal hackers who cram low-cost microcomputers into the space around the power supplies and attach them to the leads to attack phones with sophisticated and effective malware. This can be prevented with dongles but you have to be aware of the hazards.

Excuse me. Is it normal that a track crosses a platform diagonally? 3:08 - 3.20
@LonestarTrips2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for stopping by! It certainly is not normal for track to run across platforms like that, but seeing as Fort Worth sees an intersection of three major railroads, that single track allows for trains to transfer from one line to another.

That "weird security robot" as you put it, is much more than a gimmick. Its one layer of a multi faceted security program providing a holistic and sustainable security posture for travelers. There's a lot going on behind that scenes that you just haven't had exposure to. Contact me if you'd like to know more.

@@LonestarTrips No, it's literally a gimmick. He's probably an investor, since that's the only reason Knightscope exists as a company. They use buzzwords like "self-driving" and "machine learning" in their marketing and claim to literally be able to predict crime, among other things. If they could predict crime, you'd think that they would be working with police forces to have their groundbreaking algorithm implemented in stopping real crimes instead of putting ugly roombas in train stations.
