Posted by Jersey Mike on Mon Aug 30 10:30:18 2010, in response to Photos - Dallas Interurban & Miscellaneous - Part 2, posted by Joe Saitta on Sun Aug 29 21:43:34 2010. Nice to get an update on Dallas. Pretty amazing that Dallas not only has plans for an extensive Light Rail network, but they are actually BUILDING it with the majority of the Green and Orange Lines set to open by the end of the year. I checked it out on Google Maps and its really there, almost entirely complete!This is pretty astonishing to see something like this in Texas and even more astonishing that it is not happening in Austin. Cool to see the new center section added to the LRV's. That will help with ADA issues which could be a real pain with the mini-highs and the platform bridge. Does anyone know if DART is buying new LRV's for their expanded service? Also does anyone know if they are changing the signaling from NYC Subway style waysides to a cab signaling system? You can see my pics of DART taken when I visited in 2007. http://acm.jhu.edu/~sthurmovik/Railpics/07-04-16_DART_EXCURSIONS/-Thumbnails.html |
