[@andreivillasana2798]

RIP 1000 4000 series

[@derrickjordan7880]

I'm a WMATA transit operator and i just want to say that i appreciated that your showing support to our transit system. Pay no mind to the other employees if they tell you not to do it because you can film on metro transit station because taxpayers are paying for this service. It doesn't say no videography or photography.

[@MWTransitVids]

Thank you I appreciate it love the WMATA system and enjoy taking photos and videos of the system. I have been question by something employees about taking photos but I don't pay them no mind.

[@Reallynow101]

Have you had to certify on the 7k’s?

[@elysiaduke]

Every time I come to DC, the seats on the 7000 series trains hurt my back!!!

[@JohnSulu14]

Phase 2 for the Silver Line is already under construction.

[@LennoxAlexanderFrancisJr]

What's the propulsion on that train?

[@bandbsblastersandoutdoors2426]

Electric

[@robertmason7553]

They make them suckers right here in good ole Nebraska. Kawasaki. I deliver steel and aluminum to them that are directly casts into these beast.

Long distance in the tunnel from Capitol Heights to Benning Road stations on a Wiehle-Reston East bound WMATA Silver Line Metro Subway train heading from Largo, Maryland to Washington DC.

[@jamarinyc]

i thought i heard that 7k cars would have problems running on the SV, BL, and OR lines

[@SuperWorldRailFanProductions]

jamari ! That was a year ago.

[@kittuete]

all the 7k trains ive seen are on those lines no joke never on any other line when i take the metro

[@SuperWorldRailFanProductions]

Cool, next time I get one on the Silver Line, I will record one from Reston to Ballston.

[@Bus9905]

They finally got a color bar for the Silver

[@MWTransitVids]

+BUS9905 They only have a color bar for silver on the 7000 railcars only the other railcars don't have the bar

[@Bus9905]

WMATA1000 it would be nice to see it on the older railcars

[@Nick-lo1dh]

But the color dont look silver

[@railfanben5935]

Great Video! Nice that the 7000s use stainless steel to prevent dirt, but unfortunately, it is very dentable.

[@JohnSulu14]

The 1000 series and 4000 series cars will not be active on any metrorail line anymore?

[@MWTransitVids]

+robbieraeful There retired so they won't be on any Metrorail lines

[@JohnSulu14]

WMATA1000 All of them?

[@r1k_b3k]

Yes, all of them, but not all have been scraped. There's still some sitting to be stripped down at Brentwood and Cut up/Sent to scrap at Greenbelt.

[@m636rf9]

Well technically there's still some on the money train, but they will be replaced soon by the sounds of things.

[@Mbbc-oy3nt]

I can't wait to see these trains at Dulles. Do you know when it will reach there?

[@JohnSulu14]

Probably around late 2019 to sometime in 2020.

[@Reallynow101]

2022 or later

[@bandbsblastersandoutdoors2426]

2022 the stations are now open

[@andrewcampbell766]

Please someone tell me what's Kate's last name? I'm curious because I like her voice on the metro 7000 series

[@FordEscape12345678]

I actually wanted to know what the lady's name is on the 5000 and 6000 series and I guess 1000 2000 3000 4000

[@Bombardier2199]

Ford Escape Its Randi Miller

[@railfanben5935]

It's just kate. Its a text to speech software, or a zombie lady.

[@gabrielstravels]

It's actually a text to speech voice available from NeoSpeech. The voice is VW Kate as you rightly stated

[@joeramseys6935]

They should have been put the new 7k on the silver line
