    So refreshing to see cities like LA and Seattle investing more in public transportation. Looking forward to the completion of this project.

    Very impressive looking. I can't wait to ride on what will the longest friggin' light rail route on the planet, from Pomona to Long Beach.

      "Longest ... on the planet"? Really, I had no ide3a. That is pretty cool.

      Longest "Tram" Line is the official record.

      Is going to be Montclair to long Beach if they could find the money to built it in Montclair.

      *aggressive melburnian noises*
      (Melbourne currently holds the record for the [second] longest tram line with the route 75 to South Vermont)

      @@CPTE5069 No, the current record holder is one near the Belgian coast. Australia likes to say that doesn't count because it goes through several urban areas, not just one. It does count, and the new A Line will be longer than both even before this extension is finished (when the Regional Connector is finished, which should happen very soon).

    the railroad lays 15 miles of track every day of the week yet this took years. Great Job

    I look forward to being able to ride the Gold line east from Pasadena to Claremont, take Metrolink to San Bernardino, then Amtrak to Chicago!

    • @C.Q_Wilkenson
      @C.Q_Wilkenson Před 11 měsíci

      It will be the first time in 30 years one will be able to ride the train east from Pasadena to Chicago without having to go the wrong direction to LA.

    Idk how I thought rail lines were put down but I was surprised lol

  • @jack_dagnel
    @jack_dagnel Před rokem +2

    wish there was more grade separation on the LA metro projects an elevated viaduct over these roads would help out a lot i only imagine as the system gets busier it will only cause more delays

    how many mile is for this project?

    @JoeyLovesTrains Před rokem +4

    I feel like not many systems use copper overhead wires when constructing new lines

    Not the Gold line No More, it’s the A line now!!!

    Sounds promising but they just need to do something about the homeless lounging inside the trains.

    Getting a kick out of all the people excited about this project. Basically novelty rail fans who will enjoy a couple of rides and still use their cars once they realize what a mess it is on other lines. Even the board of supervisors are in a panic over the safety and loss of ridership.I'm all for rides but these lines aren't the Disneyland Railroad joy ride.

    Wow is embarrassing the foothill gold line extension project is moving at a better pace than the k line extension project and the k line is way smaller than the foothill goldline extension project. 🤔🤔🤔

    This runs parallel to metro link. What a waste of tax money .

  • @donstarr7261
    @donstarr7261 Před 11 měsíci

    Will this run from Montclair to Long Beach via union Station?
