Nice elevator. We've ridden it before when using the Metro. It has since been ripped out and replaced by three high speed elevators as part of the Rosslyn Central Place construction project that was completed a few years ago. Those long escalators there are still in use and are some of the longest in the Metro system.
Awesome!
This elevator is in VIRGINIA, NOT DC. Also, this elevator has been decommissioned.
the shot I got of you here at 3:43 is the closing shot I used for my documentary about you (Elevated: An Uplifting Community).
Very nice elevator
Definitely one of the nicer metro style elevators I’ve seen
It was decent
I was on that escalator back in January,2012
5:21 Ive actually heard up in europe and the Uk where dewhurst elevators are more common theyre actually not very good in terms of how well they run but unlike those this elevator runs really well
It ran decent
You can't listen to the motor because the fan is running
3:20 Well typically the main cables on an elevator are near impossible to break because they were designed very over engineered and also the reason why the capacity says more than what you can fit into an elevator is actually another safety feature because you wont ever get to that high of a capacity in the first place even if you somehow cramped the cab full of people
Correct
Awesome video! Dieselducy, you need to get back here after Monday October 7, 2013 when the 3 new high-speed elevators will be unveiled and put into service officially.
Sorry CZcams wouldn't let me post the URL. Google, "Rosslyn RSAI" should be first or second hit.
Also the safety governor should probably be bidirectional because if an elevator’s brakes fail and it goes into freefall it will typically go upwards since you are under capacity meaning the counterweight is heavier than you and the elevator cab its just the contractors that approve businesses to install elevators cant get the idea of a bidirectional governor in their heads
Correct
This elevator is gone 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I never rode it my life
that looks like a roped hydraulic elevator
i rode this before and some lady told me to quit playing and was not even part of metro...
I do like the escalators
I wish I could see that documentary. It would have been cool. If any one know where or how to see it, please respond.
5:09 OH NO!! It's a bottom drive traction elevator!!!
this is gone now.
you are incorrect this is in arlington virginia not in washington dc
I realize the indicator does not change all it does is changes the arrow
At last the elevators at the Washington park max station are WAY faster and bigger.
Not Washington, DC. Location is in Arlington, VA Rosslyn section.

HOW COUDL I HAVE MISSED THIS WHEN I WENT IN 2015! GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! HOLY CRAP WHY DID I MISS THIS LIV8R
Specialty Elevators & UEE's by Technicalboy3000 They ripped this thing out a very long time ago
QuarioQuario54321 WHEN IT WAS MRL?
Specialty Elevators & UEE's by Technicalboy3000 Never, they ripped the whole thing out
QuarioQuario54321 MRL is no longer here rigjt

I don’t think this was ever MRL. I’m pretty sure DieselDucy was just mistaken at the beginning.
Who was that filming with you?
Rosslyn metro station in DC, never been at Rosslyn station
Why does the floor indicator always show "S"?Shouldn't it show "T" and "P" as well?
I RODE THESE. I WENT TO D.C. ON THE METRO
This elevator has sadly been permanently decommissioned. :( At 4:05 where that crane is is where the 3 new high speed elevators are
And even more unfortunately, the 3 new elevators that replaced this one are absolute crap. They can't seem to go 2 days without one of them breaking down. In fact, even as I'm writing this, one of them is out of service due to a "Customer Incident" (which is Metro-slang for "someone got stuck in it"). For this reason, I usually refer to those new elevators as "The Rosslyn Fail-o-vators."
By the way, they still haven't bothered ripping out the old elevator yet. I was just there the other day, and it is still sitting there doing nothing.
Aw man that sucks.
@@HiFiAndElevators22 And they don't serve the Plaza Level.
The new elevators are high speed bottom drive tractions with the elevator being pulled by the top. Rode them in October 2020
i think they should maybe tighty up this elevator and make it a litle faster
"I normally don't film escalators, but I think I'm gonna film this one." Yup, this is a backlogged video!
Wow, nice view of the machine room! Kinda wish I stopped at Rosslyn now.
Has the documentary been released? Suposedly, he used, or was to use, a lot of my footage as well.
The doc has been released.
Not DC. Virginia.
It’s gone
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FILMING THIS!!! I PASSED THIS ON THE ESCALATOR. I WAS IN A RUSH TO LEAVE SO I COULDN'T RIDE THIS!
It’s gone now
georgef551 did this too. search for wcvb chronicle elevator.
The elevator was replaced by 3 new kones
Which for some reason don't serve the plaza level.
4:28 i all reddy 3 times
This elevator no longer exists.
