Скачать или смотреть MTA Maryland: Baltimore Metro Subway Operations Tour... SPECIAL EDITION!!

Like the MTA Maryland Bus... Bush Street Division tour, here you will again get full access into the subway system's maintenance facility.

Speaker: Wilson Wallace, Director of Metro Subway Operations

The directors and supervisors at the Metro Subway operation headquarters, is planning to purchase 100 brand new heavy rail train cars to replace the existing fleet, because the on-going maintenance to keep the cars updated and annual repairs is bearing down too much money to keep them constantly updated. They director of Metro Subway operations, Wilson Wallace said the existing was only meant to run for 25-30 years (It has been 30 years now). The replacement of parts on trains annually could be spent on new train-sets. The order must first pass through the MTA Maryland headquarters, then Maryland (MDOT & Congress) and FTA for funding. Could be passed around when WMATA Metrorail's "Silver Line" begin revenue service, with a 3-year manufacturing process after contract agreement. That contract could be in place by 2014-2015.

Facts:
*Most likely Manufacturer: Alstom (provided technology upgrade several years ago)
*Married-pair cars will cost: Estimated $4 million (each)
*New cars could arrive: Years (2018-2020)
*Design features: Aerodynamic front-end, new technology, real stop display (similar to New York MTA's "Alstom R160A"), advanced safety and control systems.


Some access points were not recording for safety (by my content) and not expose many technological advances that can be leaked for any hackers to interfere with the system. You will only view exterior of train cars and equipment.
