⁴ᴷ Footage of the Miami Metrorail System 

I love this system and their railcars. Probably better then their Baltimore counterparts! The only thing is, they're about to be replaced by Hitachi cars.

I might ride this when I go to Miami this December.

Miami won't be getting an extension to the Metrorail.Instead they got suckered into another busway.Yes folks ,the 1.5 billion dollars Miami Dade collected for the metrorail will not go for metrorail expansion.Most of the people who are affected are black ,Perrine,Goulds ,Florida City ,Homestead,Cutler Ridge. Up north ,up 27th ave ,all the way to Miami Gardens ,all the way to the county line.Suckered again...........Great Video.

Honestly I didn't even know this existed. Great video!

LOVE those motor sounds!

I remember when this video was first posted. Fast forward 4 years and I've finally gotten my rides on these, but I think it's time for an updated video with the line now 100% new Hitachis! (Except weekends ofc)

At least they give you Beethoven's 5th Symphony on the station speaker system !!

I was born in the 2000s and I've seen a footage in 1984 that the Metrorail is filled with rich middle-class Americans that live far and loves using Metrorail to avoid traffic in I-95 and US1 which were happy times but now, security that doesn't do their job when a person is being threatened or robbed which happened to me, drug addicts, poor conditions and sanitation in the Metrorail and MDT losing money in the 2008 stock market crash and not investing in better conditions, security and new technology to replace old trains and old busses. It cost $0.25 to ride but now, it's $2.25, it's a mess and employees wasting their time and removing routes from the map which makes people unable to reach their destination is just stupid... Poor people riding and asking money from one to another is a mess.... I hate riding transit but I have to since it's the only way I can get to my School 15 miles away from Kendall to Little Havana. It would been better if I had a car, but I'm poor and I don't have a driver license.

big much needed expansion coming soon

Brought back memory's! thanks for posting!

It sounds like the NYC subway system now!

Reminds me of TTC's former H5's, with the buzzing.

The Budd cars have since been retired. The only Universal Transit Vehicles left in service are at Baltimore Metro SubwayLink; however they are also about to be replaced.

A few years ago a major hurricane blew the tracks off of part of the elevated structure. The Metrorail was out of operation for a month or so while they made repairs. Other than that the structure has withstood the weather well. While the cars have only three doors, they are the same width as IND/BMT cars. You must have filmed during off hours. IIRC, they run 6 or 8 car trains during peak hours.

I’m enamoured by these trains

Them trains look like the Baltimore subway trains!!!!

I've lived in Miami my whole life and have only ridden the Metrorail twice. It's not nearly as convenient as simply driving.

Never knew Miami had a rail system (guess I need to travel more often)....except for the sliding doors....these cars remind me of the Chicago 2200 series cars

Love it thanks for going there!

Just bring it to south beach. And Miami will have one of the best in the world.

They'll be getting new cars soon.

Man I miss Miami not only that if go again I defiantly wanna ride Miami metro.

That metro is actually louder than the MBTA rapid transit subways in Boston! Except where the train has to go around a sharp bend inside the tunnel. But still, the Miami Metrorail is usually LOUDER than the MBTA in Boston!

These cars are in great shape. Kinda shame that they're gonna get replaced.

This is what happens when you have warm weather trains last longer and have to be overhalled less

These sound the same as Baltimore BUDD cars, and the WMATA 4000 series

Bring back the budd:(

The metrorail should be extended to ft.lauderdale & west palm beach.

The old units sounded like German U-Bhan trains

Sadly those cars are now retired. July of last year was the last time they were in passenger service

They use the same cars as The Baltimore Metro

i never knew Miami had a metro train! or any part of Florida really for that matter! i just assumed they had commuter trains or Amtrak. its sure not well known/mainstream like lets say the Chicago CTA,NYC subway,BART train,etc im guessing.

Northbound on southbound track they gotta be quick

Would love to visit miami

Soon to be replaced in late 2016 to Railcars from AsnaldoBreda

You do Miami too? wow! I have taken this train before but it's not the same as NYC it doesn't have that city vibe or pride.

I used to ride that train

Those stripes remind me of R42

Never been refurbished you say? Funny thing is, the MTA did refurbished the R32's and removed the roll signs on the front of the R32. In your opinion, what would you prefer on the front of the R32 Rollsign or a normal destination sign that we have now?

The old day

Hi @djhammerstrains Do you charge to use your footage for a public agency project.

They are the same kind of cars used in Baltimore

Huh, I actually really like the look of those cars! But are they efficient?

Great video, I like the distinct sound the propulsion motors make when accelerating. Does the system use ATC or ATO?

Wow I haven't caught the train in a while, it used to be southbound and northbound.

nice

They are raggedy af now!! I hate them. They have roaches on them. Smh. The new blue ones are way better.

These cars sound and look like Hawker-Siddely cars from Toronto.

Kinda sounds like the r32 brakes

in desperate need of expansion.

they're trying to find money for much needed expansion now in 2017

Are those chopper-controller cars?

y only 4 cars now ... anybody knows ???

That footage is AKA all stations are evaculated byCREEPER 125 minecraft HD and by the roblox death sound offffffffffffffffffffffffff!

2ed

just about 6sec between doors-close and departing acceleration grrrrr

These are retired metro cars now :(

Sucks that they will be replaced in couple of years. If only they maintained them properly. $326.4 million dollars could've been better used to fix the bad parts of Miami. They only care about the tourists and the people of the south and east coast.

Since when has there ever been a Miami metro rail system?

Wtf is it northbounds 🚊 ride soundbounds track

fast

miami train go

Why would they build a system in a city that barely has 350000 people? There's nothing really there that would suffice a system of this compared to cities like Chicago or New York who have a real population census and of course Jacksonville Florida doesn't even have anything like this and their tree tied bigger
