PHOTOS QUICKIE: SILVER LINE DAY ! |

Posted by Jersey Mike on Sun Jul 27 03:10:22 2014 Had a pretty exciting outing for the Grand Opening of the Three Billion Dollar WMATA Silver Line. I'll eventually get all the photos and videos posted, but for now here are a few sneak peaks.Here the first outbound Silver Line train arrives with 5162 in the lead at the east Falls Church station. The inbound VIP train was delayed so what would have been the first and second westbound SL trains were short turned as Orange Line trains instead. I actually rode on the last Orange Line train out of Large Towne Centre.  Metro #5162 again at the new Wiehle – Reston East Station. My impression of the line was that it could have been faster and a lot of money was wasted on pointless interlockings that were clearly there to pad out the contract.  Metro was handing out some schwag in the parking lots of the Wiehle – Reston East Station as well as others. The attendant was nice enough to let me out of fare control to pick up this cool Silver Line pennant and a Silver Line Smart Trip card. I was unable to score a Silver Line t-shirt or bottle of Silver Line bottled water.  |
