METRO Green Line Extension SWLRT Construction - July 2023

Video of the Metro Green Line Extension, more commonly know as Southwest Light Rail Transit (SWLRT), in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The video starts at the Southwest Station in Eden Prairie and flies along the alignment at a constant elevation and speed towards downtown Minneapolis. With only one battery, the alignment was flown over several days. The estimated one-way travel time from Southwest Station in Eden Prairie to Target Field Station in Minneapolis is 32 minutes per the Southwest LRT wiki, which the video roughly matches in length. Muting the sound and changing the playback speed to x2 will fly the alignment in about 17 minutes.
