[@demetriuswalker8521]

wow back then Marta had a four car train on each line and moving slow like that and something else Marta still have have those old cq310 behind the Avondale yard in 2018

[@Brillemeister]

This was before the 25mph speed limit around Decatur was enacted. Those were the days...

[@NathanAHogan]

What did they slow trains down to 25 mph from decatur to avondale?

[@Brillemeister]

@@NathanAHogan Yes, starting in 2007.

​@@BrillemeisterI'm mad that they slowed all the trains down on that stretch between Arts Center and Lindbergh....They used to go full speed on that stretch.

@15:45 The New Georgia Railway! That was long gone by my time! @18:55 That is pretty much the end of the video, just static for the rest of the duration...

Wow Avondale station changed all bit yrs ago they added a island in the middle of the track set

[@truelife974]

There are two island platforms and they both are original. It's just that now with the line ending at Indiana Creek the trains load on the outside tracks.

[@emansphoto_6428]

Nearly, what, fourty years and yet little change? There’s been no expansion of any kind, not even any additional lines built in dekalb county the very least.

[@BabyBang17datruth]

The only new line they built was the red line that ends at North Springs back in 2000. The Gold line was expanded to Doraville and the airport back in the late 80s and early 90s. Kensington and Indian Creek opened back in the early 90s as well.

[@truelife974]

DeKalb County got most of the lines to begin with.

[@jayo1212]

Well, we've really started pulling at it, but Gwinnett still hasn't gotten its head out of its ass yet...

[@jayo1212]

@@BabyBang17datruth not to mention they added a second yard along those lines in 2005...

[@zyderouen3240]
