this line's rolling stock and its stations are the weirdest cross between LA's subway and the DC Metro, It's really, really cool. I wish this system could get a good expansion and its full potential could be realized. Baltimore is an underrated city that deserves the world-class transit the cities surrounding it have

Clean? Debatable. There's not as much trash as a system like Philly, but you definitely feel the age of the trains and station. Modern? Lmao no, it's very clearly an 80s system.

The subways cars are similar to the Los Angeles Red and Purple lines (they're currently being replaced). From this video, it looks like a refurbishment and expansion is long overdue.

These are the Budd trains which were also used by the Metrorail in Miami, but Metrorail’s Budd trains were retired from service in 2021.

Expansion is decades long overdue, and as things currently stand today I’ve lost hope that this is going to get any meaningful change. That said, I’ll be more than happy to eat my own words if Baltimore develops a metrorail that rivals DC’s in the future.

A decent-ish subway line that unfortunately covers very little of the region. I know there were extension plans to take it through northeast Baltimore and out to White Marsh but they were scrapped. The present line is basically useless you happen to live near it - which most people don’t 😢

The Miami Metrorail used to have those Budd UTV rail cars. They were replaced by the newer Hitachi Rail USA rail cars.

These cars sound the same as the WMATA 3000/4000 series cars unrehabbed. Plus, both the WMATA Breda and BUDD cars had Chopper Controlled traction system.

I'd love to see an expansion of the subway system but Baltimore has pretty much taken up all available space. There is no area I can think of anywhere where you can get the trains above ground or even make a parking lot for subway stations. Like going through into Towson and Cockeysville has practically zero space at all. All of it is taken up by houses and businesses.
