LA Metro Rail HD 60fps: Riding AnsaldoBreda A650 on Red Line Union Station to North Hollywood

[@MorganBennett]

I love the sounds when the train goes fast and you can hear the echos coming from the tunnel

[@niksterrr1110]

Same.

[@brianna_lynch]

Until coronavirus I took my city’s light rail to and from school every day that I had classes. I also used it for visiting my aunt as well as shopping and stuff. Even though I used it 4-7 days per week, the sound never got old.

[@ELkamakura]

This video reminds me of my trip. Thank you for uploading.

[@jamtjay]

when i grow up , i wanna operate LA metro

[@GoldenOne131]

jamari ! same here too

[@AaronJrBrundidge]

If I worked for MTA in New York City working on the subway system, when I get to move to L.A., I could get the job working for L.A. Metro

[@Kanal7Indonesia]

Nooo the job is mine

[@LARailProductions]

You won't even to get to operate the subway anyway. The trains are automatic, the "operator" only opens and closes the doors.

[@michealscott2971]

Los Angeles Rail Productions they should make the whole train computerlized

[@AlexCab_49]

I wish Los Angeles had more subways. We only have 2 currently but there are plans on building one along the 405 corridor

[@lighttower2931]

They are planning, but they will be smaller than the New York City subway cars.

[@TrainSounds]

They should extend the Red and Purple Lines above ground.

[@LincolnAxelWilliam]

@@TrainSounds they should shut down the orange line brt and make it an elevated extension for the red line and they should extend the purple line south from union stations to Fullerton as a highway above ground extention and they should extend the red line to ontario one day as an above ground extension. they should also convert the blue, green, silver, gold/expo and pink/crenshaw lines into heavy rail metros. Pico - Washington station on the blue line should be underground as well as Willow Street - Downtown Long beach and they should remove the loop and make 1st street downtown long beach. the green line can stay how it is but i think they should make an underground extension to la Mirada and they're also planning on extending the green line to Santa Monica to meet with the gold line. The purple line will be extended to around Beverly hills but eventually should be extended to Santa Monica to meet with the green line. Pico - Expo La brea on the gold line should be underground and 26th street bergamont - downtown santa monica should be elevated. the crenshaw line or pink line should one day be extended to hollywood to meet with the red line and maybe one day a south extension to anaheim. the vermont subway which la has been working on should become the orange line and be able to go to expo vermont station to connect with the expo line and then maybe someday should extend to glendale. the Sepulveda line which la also has plans for in the future should be called the brown line and i think it can stay how it is for a while but eventually should extend it somewhere. i think any above ground station should not have to go through streets so cars can go by easier and they dont have to stop to let cars go by. (sorry if this is a long message but i just had to write this)

[@HackleFlyer]

Woah! These trains have the same propulsion as the WMATA 1000 Series Cars.

[@BraydenBachlott]

They also have the same horns as the newer WMATA train cars (2000 series and newer). In the case of propulsion, these Breda A650 trains have their original propulsion, but the 1000 series got it during rehab, which Breda was responsible for doing.

[@FZeroGCBoyAJ]

24:38: The next stop is Universal City/Studio City station; on Lankershim Blvd and Campo de Cahuenga. Connect here for the shuttle to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal City Walk upstairs across the bridge.

[@FZeroGCBoyAJ]

23:18: Now arriving Hollywood/Highland station. Exit here for the Dolby Theater, TCL Chinese, and the Hollywood Bowl Shuttle at Orange Court.

[@UltimateAzumanger]

2:05 Where can I find this sound online?

[@gianni1940]

I wonder how long these trains are going to stay in service. They still sound like the new BART trains made by Alstom/bombardier as part of their new fleet of the future when departing and arriving at different stations.

[@theminipetabyte4610]

Ayy my hometown!

[@KickzNTransit]

Got a head just by hearing all those announcements lol... 😩

[@ElevationStationProductions]

Awww I wish I could meet you! I have been ridin' this train since I was in the womb lol! Did you know these things have RS3L's?

[@deadchannelmoved9328]

What camera do you use for your videos? :)

[@FanRailer]

iPhone 7 Plus or Panasonic HC-V770. This specific video was shot with my old iPhone 6.

[@_thebusphotograher_cali]

Fan Railer: Wow your iPhone 7 records great high quality video. I think all use a Iphone 7 for my videos soon?

[@goran2009]

La metro was not as scary as I thought... Ive used it to get from Hollywood to Santa Monica ...

[@transitvideosbayarea]

Why would a train be scary? I'm not aware of any zombie apocalypses or purges at the moment.

[@jemairmckay6862]

excellent video

[@DmitriyK12]

GTA V brought me here !

[@paulquinn6197]

Great video.. Love new york. Going again in may..

[@TrainSounds]

Paul Quinn that's in Los Angeles, not New York.

[@metrocityrr]

wish this train was made in trainz 12

[@AshmewStudios]

These trains are only 20-30 years old yet they feel older than the BART trains

[@FutureNostaliga]

Nice video!

[@_thebusphotograher_cali]

I like the Metro Red Line soo much better than New York City Subway. The Red Line Subway Car is more cleaner and the Stations are clean.

[@TrainSounds]

GamerToy 123 the septa subway in Philly is just as good.

[@DmitriyK12]

GamerToy 123 Hey, wtf dude; don't diss the NYC MTA ?! 😱😜

[@StopRequested]

The LA metro is cleaner, but it's a smaller system, train-wise. The bus lines are quite expansive though, which is nice.

[@_thebusphotograher_cali]

Dmitriy K.: Don’t get me wrong! New York City subway is awesome too! The trains are great! But it suffers from graffiti and stations and elevators are really dirty

[@_thebusphotograher_cali]

Dmitriy K.: Don’t get me wrong their system is reliable and they have old school trains! But it’s a messy place! But nyc subway is actually good too but needs to be cleaned so that it’s a good system

[@michealscott2971]

7:52 the chime fucked up that moment

[@peninsula_sub]

I was on Amtrak Coast Starlight Train 14 and while in the Sightseer Lounge some lady starts blasting her freaking copyrighted music while I am filming and it was just after Portland while attempting to get footage while going over the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. Once she did not stop after like thirty seconds I got up and made sure that as I walked passed her on my way back to Business Class that she heard me say to myself "that freaking copyrighted music is going to have my KZbin channel shut down." Sorry but when people do that it really gets on my nerves.

[@TheBugBug]

Zachary Moore blue diamond almonds

[@GoldenOne131]

Zachary Moore same thing happen with me

[@sgtdebones]

Damn people and there sensitive copyright complaints

[@MegaMark2011]

I wish the LA Metro is like the Metro in Washington DC

[@PTB_BE]

If Ansaldo Breda is the best manufacturer for LA Metro, I seriously doubt if they take themselves seriously

[@baetsimpson]

PublicTransportationBelgium True.

[@jim301288]

how does it travel from Hollywood Highland to Universal city so fast? theres no way

[@justinmckenzie9851]

James Mcleod There are no stations In between

[@pinhead35]

There’s no stations as well as the speed limit for the train during that stretch is 75 mph

[@FanRailer]

55 MPH is the top allowable speed.

[@pedroviana0]

I just came here to see where and on which train subway Daniel Powter filmed the "Bad Day" video.

[@SupremeLeader-Kim-Jong-Un]

It was the red line on the Breda a650’s I don’t know what stops though, might be 7th street metro center?

[@Dutch3DMaster]

AnsaldoBreda huh? I feel sorry for the municipality of LA. Did these trains suffer from all kinds of weird and unexplainable defects that should not happen in new trains? The Netherlands acquired high speed trains (they should've been running at 155 mph) from the same manufacturer (look up the "V250 high speed train Fyra" there maybe is an English Wikipedia article about it, because the Dutch government lost hundreds of millions of euro's on the high speed project and those trains) and they were downright dangerous and had accidents in which parts were ripped off of the carriages, carpets showed serious discolouration because of overheating batteries underneath the floor, that kind of stuff. When a door got ripped off by the suction of a passing train on the opposite track and another incident showed a part of the roof ripped off with a piece of metal sticking in the air closely to the catanary wire, they were taken out of service and all the accidents were seriously investigated. It turned out that the National Railway company that had written out the concession had gotten several serious warnings not to do business with AnsaldoBreda, but because of a boneheaded management that only saw a good investment in the form of a cheap train, instead of a little more expensive train from a manufacturer that has a good track record, AnsaldoBreda was the choosen one as a manufacturer. The investigations performed by the National Transport Authority Board revealed parts "manufactured to a degree of quality that does not allow high speed operation at all", "repairs made by AnsaldoBreda not up to par with what is commonly accepted and expected during servicing moments of a new high speed train" and "Parts with such a low level in their design process that they showed degredation and wear and tear normally seen in trains having run 10.000 kilometers or more, instead of 100 kilometers." That said, it feels nice to see the metro being just as crowded as it is in Amsterdam.

[@justinmckenzie9851]

Iris There are no complaints from the train this is probably the only reliable Train Breda made

[@LARailProductions]

The old base buy models (equipped with Westinghouse DC traction motors, cars numbered 501-530) do suffer from mechanical issues, however the newer option buy models (equipped with GE AC traction motors/inverters, cars numbered 531-604) have very little issues, they are reliable for the most part.

[@tech83studio38]

Ansaldo Breda no works in partnership with Bombardier & Hitachi Miami Dade Metro has recently bought new subway cars from them also The V250 was sent to Hitachi for refitting as the ETR 700 .

[@transitvideosbayarea]

San Francisco has Breda light rail cars. They are heavy, expensive and not very realiable. Although LA's subway cars seem to be realiable. A real head scratcher.

[@willy.william4582]

It's so Friendly, why doesn't more people ride it?

[@pinhead35]

Willy .William it’s usually because the stops are pretty far from most of the areas people need to get to

[@metrorailinlosangelesprodu4407]

jamari the same to

[@Derekwwest]

uh does anyone ride the damn thing???

[@StopRequested]

Yeah... did you watch the full video? It starts off empty, and gathers passengers.

[@pinhead35]

Google pictures of the stations during the 2016 women’s march

[@RetroPinUpRockZ]

I can smell pee just by watching this video... (used to commute between NoHo and Civic Center every day for work)

[@RetroPinUpRockZ]

And of sweat... and incense...

[@FernandoGarcia-dg8ml]

I like the smell of the soap that metro employees use to clean that smells like a green citrus lime smell almost like a lime and candy smell but yeah it’s smells bad when they don’t clean it..

[@pigjubby1]

CARS: No crazy people, no homeless with hepatitis, no MRSA, no tuberculosis, no urine/feces no sick people hacking away and no freeloaders causing trouble, no worries over lack of security. METRO: You save three minutes and save one dollar. I made the choice. LA Metro was a good idea, but in operation, a total failure.

[@pinhead35]

pigjubby1 have you even ridden it recently, ever since LAPD took over it’s gotten better. Also compared to the NYC trains, these things are incredibly well kept and constantly updated and well maintained

[@transitvideosbayarea]

So you basically dislike most public social places.

[@GaryColemanNC]

No one rides it I see.
