WMATA Metrorail 7000 Series Test Train

Caught this on my back home.

[@louiszhang3050]

I remember when these used to be news lol. Now we're waiting for the 8000 Series trains!

[@FanRailer]

Very nice catch =) Can't wait for these to enter service XD

[@tbnsmacked4828]

Shout me out or youre gay

[@nikeshawade2597]

Nice metro train 😊

[@KetiePadilla]

Very Nice the too a wmata yellow line

[@hobog]

I really wish these things could be rolled out faster, so many other trains are breaking down in the middle of service

[@ElyseHorvath]

It's official they are being released on April 14th from Franconia-springfeild shortly after 7 am

[@IainHendry]

What the FUCK, did they ditch Randi Miller?? Hate the 7000 series even more now, puke

[@SomeRamdomAhole]

You mad ?

[@mrcalc-xc5ke]

I prefer the 6000 and 3000 series

[@ElyseHorvath]

Can't wait till they release them all !

[@liamnixon4428]

So the Washington Metro 7000 series have cars that should have drivers cab, but the driver's cab was removed because it was deemed unnecessary, so in my opinion the Washington Metro might have plans for driverless rapid transit PS: ¡¡the WMATA 7000 series sure are blabbermouths!!

[@TrainSounds]

I was on the new trains last Friday and they were nice.

[@Baytrail]

Pointless to have prerecorded announcements for line, direction, and next when the whole "doors opening" spiel comes before it. Would make sense if they just did it like the R142s.

[@EWPA14]

Not only that, but it uses a voice I’ve heard elsewhere online.

[@TheRailLeaguer]

Elevating Western PA What site is it?

[@lojosol]

This comment didnt age well. The 7000 announcements are far superior to the previous rolling stock because they clearly enunciate the next stop unlike the train operators who say the next stop so quickly and in the most monotone voice i have ever heard.

[@mrcalc-xc5ke]

The voice is just a robot 🤖

[@MWTransitVids]

Can't to see them in service

[@PhillyFan20]

The first set will enter revenue service on 4/14 on the Blue line. It'll depart Franconia after 7 AM.

[@TakoElevators]

Its Kate from Goanimate.

[@evenios2831]

this is a 7000 series train.

[@S-CB-SL-Animations]

Evenios Doors opening. Step back to allow customers to exit. When boarding, please move to the center of the car.

[@lojosol]

*DINGDONG* Doors Opening. This is a Silver Line Train to Ashburn. When boarding, move toward the center of the car. The Next Station is Washington Dulles International Airport. *DINGDONG* Step back. Doors closing.

[@nyctransitrailfan]

Why can't they open the doora on the opposite side when testing, just like nyc, they test their train doors by opening the doors on the opposite side

[@lojosol]

because they are testing how the train operates on the live line

[@JohnSulu14]

R they going to replace any rail cars for the WMATA Fleet?

[@SuperWorldRailFanProductions]

The 1000 series will be replaced.

[@Neno8403]

robbieraeful 1000 and 4000 Series are being replaced by these.

[@SuperWorldRailFanProductions]

Khemistry And the 5000 series.

[@gwz703]

When the 8000 series comes the 2 and 3000 series will retired

[@vanpilatus7847]

This train is the best 😝 :D

[@glenzhang5565]

It sounds like Singapore's Kawasaki C151 in operation

[@KetiePadilla]

Yelloe line and the like me ent th

[@roblox_solera4936]

The guy thought the he could go on but he can't

[@metrobrutalismadmiration656]

Twinbrook, definately! I like how at 0:32, a customer tries to enter the new car, but is prevented by some crowd control net! Oh no, poor guy! They have a beautiful new vehicle, but guess what? You're not invited. That's so inefficient and dystopian!

[@CRFProductions2023]

😂

[@thekarlkeeper8727]

Metro Brutalism Admiration It's not any vehicle- a train...THE 7000 SERIES!

[@S-CB-SL-Animations]

Stephanie Dickey Okay, this is epic.

[@SharlenesJourney]

Lol step back !

[@amazinginterstate95ownbtcp84]

that must be kate from goanimate text to speech 0:30

[@redphone1438]

amazing interstate 95 own BTCP Brandon le (It is.)

[@gamertransitandtrains.7317]

Yeah it is.

[@dj_istheway]

Lol the guy thought it was actually in service😅

[@CRFProductions2023]

blocked by the crowd control net 😂😂😂😂

[@mrcalc-xc5ke]

Well, it didn't say it's Not in Service

[@lamtran9674]

Sus

[@gfujigo]

So what exactly do they test on the test train? 🤔🤔🤔

[@NSE465]

Traction equipment performance, weight limit, electricals, speed limit, etc.

[@gfujigo]

@@NSE465 I See. Thanks.

[@ApproachLimitedPros]

Nice. Do you know when they will run the next one?

[@PhillyFan20]

There's only one set (7000-7007) on WMATA property right now. They've been "burn testing" this set between Twinbrook and Shady Grove the last few days. I saw it idling at Shady Grove on Monday afternoon.

[@jamarinyc]

I don't like them.

[@sonicboy678]

Mr.Jay-Morris That's what people say about the R160. That didn't stop the cars from being placed on the rails.

[@anklebreakergod4564]

sonicboy678 but R160 are cancerous

[@TheRailLeaguer]

AnkleBrEaker GOD You think replacing old beat up cars with newer more reliable and technologically advanced cars is cancerous?

[@mrcalc-xc5ke]

​@@TheRailLeaguerWell, sometimes.

[@TheRailLeaguer]

@@mrcalc-xc5ke How?

[@SuperWorldRailFanProductions]

This train must be in automatic train operation since the train started immediately once the doors closed.

[@joshedgar7578]

Good catch! I know WMATA is testing bringing that back once they repair some wayside equipment, so maybe they're killing two tests with one train.

[@KevinMCombes]

Josh Edgar The Red Line has been fully upgraded for ATO. Tests with passengers supposedly started months ago during non-peak times. I think they had mentioned ATO would become the standard on the RL by March, but as far as I know, no updates have been made public on that.

[@SuperWorldRailFanProductions]

Kevin M Combes I was on the Red line today, and it was still Manual Train Operation.

[@KevinMCombes]

SuperWorldFan7000 Do you recall the length of the train? Since I posted this comment, Metro did announce that ATO was restored in revenue operation on RL, but ONLY for 8-car trains. 6-car trains remain in manual full-time. Of course, 8-car trains may still be run in manual for one reason or another.

[@MattDaGamer21]

No the driver controls the train it was 2 people in the cabin the other person close the doors

[@鈴木和嘉子-z1c]

It could've been a woman though.

[@CoolestGamerSE]

I bin on there

[@鈴木和嘉子-z1c]

That stupid guy who tried to get on the train was pretty funny.
