- Welcome aboard the Metro Red Line! This train's final destination is North Hollywood station.
A couple days ago I had the chance to film out the front window of the cab of the Ansaldobreda A650 HRV from the origination point of Union Station to the train's final destination of North Hollywood. This is a very rare view that not a lot of people get to see. This particular A650 was equipped with traction motors by GE, which make the distinctive "whine" sound due to the DC to AC inverters. Thanks for watching and enjoy the sights, sounds, and exhilaration of riding through the underground tunnels at up to 70mph under Hollywood Hills!

I’m moving to LA next year, and I’m gonna use Metro. No way in hell am I driving in LA’s parking lots (I mean, freeways). Thank God for the Red Line.
😂😂😂
Avoid the 405 at ALL costs
@@morganbeale3052 I get mad if my Parents Take The Freeways. It’s that Traffic I hate about LA. I live in Fullerton, and I enjoy Taking the train From There.
David Nissim alot faster to walk along L A's freeways than to drive on L A's freeways.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
oh lord i bet you regret moving now
Am I the only one who likes the sound it makes when it comes to a stop ??
That slow whirring sound
You are definitely not the only one. I find the traction motors on the A650 rail vehicles to be the best sound of any EMU.
Nope, your not alone!
I’m from LA and I love the train because I used to go there 24 7 and that is my fav train
@@jeffreyskates11 I loved it when I was a kid
When it's close by .. you'll feel that cool breeze wind ... 1min later the train arrives an gives that awesome whirring sound
Redx. Flare I know right I like the sound and wind and I used too go there too
I love the sound it makes when it stops and go's.
Me too lol
😆 LOL
Same
Right
Me too.
i lived in LA in 2006 and caught the train from hollywood/vine station to vermont/santa monica to go to LA city college...ahhh the memories. I miss LA

Love the Red Line. It's one of the main ways I get around whenever I'm in L.A.
Los Angeles, my dream
Visiting and living there are two different things 🙄
Me too
@@ErrolSlovak24 oh shut up man it's a dream for me and I live in LA
I've never been north of Hollywood/Highland on the Red Line, so I didn't know how fast it goes in the Hollywood Hills tunnel. It's interesting how much faster it goes there, compared to between Universal Studios and North Hollywood.
Nice video!
I wish Los Angeles' subway was very developed (with about a network of 13-14 lines), a subway comparable to the size of London, Paris and Tokyo.
Los Angeles is a city with a metro population of about 18 million population, and two lines of subway (plus 4 lines of light rail) is simply not enough.
But unfortunately, I think it's very unlikely that Los Angeles will be able to have a subway of the size of London/Paris/Tokyo due most of their habitants preferring to drive.
The Red line (now called Line B lol) stations look very nice too!
Thank you!
@@LARailProductions You're welcome.
I'm such a nerd when it comes to Metro I have metro maps from West to East metro buses like the ones that run on Hollywood Sunset Wilshire blvd Olympic Blvd Pico blvd Washington Blvd Exposition Blvd Vernon Slauson Florence it's a list even Metro buses that go North South I don't know why but I'm a Metro nerd
You're not alone buddy!
Dude i am the same when it comes to metro lmao
...Me...too...😟😭
then please explain the regional connector
Same. I Scold my Fam And Lecture Them On the Freeway of LA.
Best cab view Ever!!!
Fun fact: The subway reaches 70 mph in the hollywood areas.
That's correct!
That's 105 when you have it at 1.5x speed!
23:05 red line is in sicko mode
Love front window ride videos :)
Thanks, me too!
Anyone knows when these cars will be going up for auction wish I had the money to buy one. When the Nippon Sharyo p865s were auctioned they were under 10,000 dollars. Red line is an Italian made train.
Wait they auction off the cars!? I thought they scrapped them?
Does everyone remember where metro was doing a screen test for a month where there were screens in the tunnel when it was approaching universal City station
Yeah
Yeah that was pretty cool I remember it didn't work every time and was glitchy. Back in 09 I believe
Is there any video footage of it?
I was on that subway train the other day from LA Union Station.

These also have the same GE motors the DC Metro 1000s series had before they retired.
There both made by Breda
Flat Train the WMATA 1000 series wasn’t made by Breda it was made by Rohr industries. Then Breda refurbished them in the years 1993-1996.
The traction motors were built by GE, which Breda was offering at the time.
I love the red line
I'm always on the Red Line, everyday
What lead car is this by going to north Hollywood?
I am considering moving from Tri-State West Virginia to Los Angeles-Hollywood! The Red Line looks interesting!
did you end up moving ?
Lmao this video also features a nice explanation of what we were doing that day courtesy of me lmao
Pretty much haha. Thanks for coming along!
one of these days I am going to dedicate just to railfanning the red line.
Seems like adding platform screen dorrs wouldnt be hard because all trains are same on purple and red line
They are unnecessary here in LA.
Dear Friend:
I am a fan of the railroads and I am going to travel to the United States in the month of June next. I will visit the cities of Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Francisco and possibly San Diego. I need to know what routes it recommends to do, either between cities or urban systems, such as trams in different cities. Which route recommends me to do with beautiful views.
Thank you very much and I greet you

Wow there are so few passengers on the red metro line in Los angles, here in Stockholm the long metro trains are so packed with people and the stations are jammed with people all the time even on weekends and holidays
'Muricans and their cars.
@@tompeled6193 Not necessarily, it's just that Angelenos don't really care about the subway. There's a running joke that if you ask someone from LA how to use the subway, they'll respond with "We have a subway?"
The subways in Los Angeles are more heavily used at rush hour.
The Red Line and the Purple Line are usually comfortable and not overly packed.
One usually can find a seat and not be forced to stand.
Did any of you hear him talking in the background with somebody? I thought that was pretty interesting.
Does anyone know why the tunnels are completely lit ?
Seems like a waste of electricity/extra costs.
Was it just for this test ride /filming opportunity ?
It's in case there's an emergency where passengers need to exit the train while in the tunnel
@@LARailProductions that seems to be quite an overhead cost for such an unlikely event. Why wouldn’t they use an automatic switch in that event like how water sprinklers do 😝
From a riders perspective it does seem nice though and takes away from the malaise that long tunnel rides often do...
Can you make a video of the metro red line to union station please
Sure.
Can you make purple Line too please!!!
@@LARailProductions did you heard about the announcements from CEO of the Metro they planning to extend the metro b Line to south Los Angeles
@@mohamadfaiz6935 I'm pretty sure that they already know about it
The announcement should use the full name of Disney Hall: "Walt Disney Concert Hall."
Didnt realize the train sound almost exactly like BART. Especially when it comes to a stop
I wouldn't say so. ∮ limited amount of time that I had on bart, the ride seemed to be a little smoother, and the electronic announcements just seemed a little different.

Los Angeles Rail Productions that Little Bing Bong is from the Microsoft agent application in Windows.
I have a Request I want you yo film Expo Blue Green and Gold Lines full Ride because all I search is Just Side passenger view and off ride footages and two way rides for Expo Blue Green Gold and Red and Purple Lines too
Now imagine driving to North Hollywood, probably take double the amount of time in normal LA traffic.
It would be nice if the stations were also marked with text on the video, and then the audio ads are poorly legible )
Let’s start a petition To keep these damn trains in services for another 10-20 years. And only purchase a few of the fleet coming this year.
A petition? lmao that won't do anything
Maybe not because money talks.
But a Petition worked to bring back the Ford bronco. 🤯. I subscribed btw lol 😂
Los Angeles Rail Productions Actually it probably would do something. Process. Once a petition has been published on the website, it will be open to signatures for six months. At 10,000 signatures, the government will formally respond. At 100,000 signatures, the request will be considered by the Petitions Committee for debate in Parliament.
@@ramonsmediablog really?
Go Metro
is this the same line as featured in the film Volcano with tommy lee jones?
Yup!
And offcourse SPEED😊😊
28:25 Hopefully one day they'll puncture the wall ahead for an extension to Burbank airport
John Schuster they actually have plans to do a project to Burbank airport and the orange line bus is becoming a light rail by 2026
Are these automated trains?
Normally, yes. These trains can also be controlled manually by disabling ATO (Automatic Train Operation). There is always an operator in the cab controlling the doors. Furthermore, operators are required to operate a train in MTO (Manual Train Operation) at least one round trip per shift.
Nice video, where is the driver ?
I think he's on the other side or the train could be used automatically
Sounds exactly like the original WMATA 1000 series trains
They're both made by Breda (Hitachi)
Samuel Sharp actually he’s describing the Rohr Series cars
How much was the trip? Does it leave Union Station? I'm so confused. Lol
Going to North Hollywood, the Red Line leaves from Union Station, the cost is $1.75/ride which can be paid with cash or easier by buying and loading a metro tap fare card which can be bought from vending machines in stations or on above ground platforms. The blue , gold and purple lines all start from Union Station . The Blue and Gold lines are also above ground , the blue Line goes to Long Beach and The gold line goes to Pasadena. The Green line goes from Redondo Beach to Norwalk with a station near LAX. The Expo line travels between Santa Monica and Downtown LA . The purple line travels between Downtown LA and Mid Wilshire and there is a light rail line being built that'll link the Crenshaw district with LAX. Hope this helps
@@danielleporter1829 thx
@@roka0185 you're welcome
@@danielleporter1829 Metro announced that Metro Red Line will one day continue to South Los Angeles.
You guys should take a trip to Tokyo and be enlightened by their rail system. lol
I have always liked LA subways.
is this a full automatic subway car?
It has the ability to be, but the doors are controlled by the operator.
Back in 2008 somewhere around those years. couldn’t you walk from train car to train car?
Nope. Safety hazard due to no enclosed vestibule between cars
@@LARailProductions i saw someone do that while on the red line
Tunnel subway metro in the movie
brother:☺☺☺😜☺😜☺😜😜☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺😉☺☺☺☺😉😉😉😉😉😉☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺😜☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺
Me: I'm not kidding my brother likes this video but not me...
Is the redline fast
Yes, max speed of 70mph between Hollywood/Vine and North Hollywood.
@@LARailProductions Dang. Thx i needed this answer
It’s really fast
Shouldn't there be people dressed as gangs from the 1979's film, "The Warriors." To represent the subway trains as the New York City ones. Well, during Halloween or the celebration of the movie.
