eleva TOUR of Cityplace DART rail station with Incline elevator - Dallas TX

[@randlofs]

I watched this video a lot as a little kid! You are a part of what makes me interested in elevators!

[@patrickrichmond9896]

Back in 1999, I rode the DART and this station was still under construction. I hope to someday return to Dallas via the train and ride the DART some more.

[@quavionthomas4151]

Yeah and another station next to cityplace uptown station was also under construction called knox-street station

[@campirano888]

​@@quavionthomas4151and also that station is abandoned but I don't know if it's haunted who knows?

[@campirano888]

​@@quavionthomas4151it's the Knox Street station

[@CenTexElevators489]

Nice elevators, and in the case of the Otis elevator, I know they had Vanity fixtures (solid white buttons). But did they use the GAL contact block assembly, and if so, I wonder if the Vanity buttons were an ADA compliant successor to the Lexan buttons (both old and new), since they were projecting buttons.

[@Khaledamrouche11710]

9:49 it’s Alex in the incline elevator

[@GabShortsYT]

This was the type of video that made me more exited about watching your vids

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks so much. more coming.

[@GabShortsYT]

@ YOOOOOO DISEL DUCYYY WHATS GOOD!! I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOU SINCE I WAS YOUNGER!

[@Peteork25]

saw this when it came out, still waiting for you to come to the Huntington metro!

[@DieselDucy]

i did! Got a few videos of it.

[@loribach534]

Use the stairs walking down as you'll beat waiting for the inclinator any time.

[@DieselDucy]

stairs are faster here!

[@joshgutierrez7380]

That’s not the point of the video honey…

[@KaIIenie]

less wait, more exercise!

[@elevcarwashsirensandmore21]

​@@KaIIeniethat is a lot of steps. At least probably 7 to 10 stories.

[@xXxM4A1xXx08]

if you ever get a chance to ride the d.c. metro system they have some VERY deep escalators and steep ones as well

[@robertcamiller]

xXxM4A1xXx08 They are so deep like you said imagine deep then multiply it by 3

[@tkefan29]

Wheaton's escalators are the tallest in the Western Hemisphere.

[@andrewzapar2585]

xXxM4A1xXx08 Bethesda stations escalors to the metro suck and the elevator is like three blocks away and is handicapped use only. It’s also in a hotel parking lot

[@occasionalcooper8814]

you haven’t seen the ones we have here in London then…

[@Khaledamrouche11710]

I haven't bean this station before Did the elevators got modernised?

[@DieselDucy]

it was awesome.

[@caylebsrandomvideos3749]

That train sounded like the TTC T1 subway in Toronto!

[@DieselDucy]

It did

[@Elevatorelectricgate]

And the former R110A NYC subway cars.

[@psirvent8]

Any idea about the purpose of the white strobe lights on top of the train ? (Most easily spotted at 6:27)

[@shelb2057]

Wow, i go through this station constantly when i go to stars games, and i never noticed the elevators were like that

[@lwpdhofgh]

Is this the only serious underground metro station in Texas or are there more?

[@elliotrowland4026]

This is the most creative elevator ever!

[@ctgez7927]

Most useless too

[@mrproper85]

nice video and i like how u say eleva TOUR

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks!

[@samuraiMOURS]

2:49 10:02 15:41 These inclined elevators are noisy. That sounds like the inclined lifts in London. These inclined elevators are also called automatic funiculars.

[@robbiewales3007]

Very nice to see an inclined lift. I originally thought the lift had replaced one of the escalators

[@HibomMan]

Love it! What music did you use in the intro?

[@gf6638]

Have you know the name? I’m curious too

[@jaydenragins9310]

Wow! Where Did You Find That

[@Khaledamrouche11710]

Incline elevator info: Floors 2 Floor C indicator was burned out not shined Capacity: 1000 kg Elevator logo: N/A Elevator moter top of C floor Elevator pit buffer: OK Elevator little bit boncey

[@DieselDucy]

Cool

[@EbrahimAL_awami]

The elevator instead of the stairs for a house that is only one floor high, It saves distance and costs, but the companies which they are producing the handrails maybe they will not work in thats field I guess. What do you think?

[@DieselDucy]

Yep.

[@marymitchell3386]

Is DART really called Dallas Automatic Railway Transit?

[@DieselDucy]

No. Dallas area rapid transit I believe

[@just_another_gearhead]

Had a former coworker I worked with for over a year, and left our company earlier this year to work for a competitor got crushed to death in-between the elevator and the bottom floor doors at the Cityplace Dart Station online elevator. I'm an elevator mechanic by trade and from what I heard was he was working on one of the "chicken legs"...(it's the two a spring loaded arms you see in the inside of the hall doors.) And supposedly he didn't properly lockout-tagout. Not a lot of info and no news reports that I've been able to find, but the man's name was Mike Arbor...he leaves behind a wife and 5 kids. Very unfortunate to happen, especially a little over a week before Christmas.
