LA Metro Rail HD 60fps: AnsaldoBreda P2550 Gold Line Cab Ride (APU/Citrus College-Union Station) 

This driver not only let you film out the front, but he waved to every oncoming train. Gotta love that LA chillness and friendliness.

On of the best videos of the Metro Gold line that really shows off the system. Thanks for posting this. I lived in LA for years and we fought hard, back in the early days, to retain this right-of-way after abandonment of the rail. Nice to see that those efforts have paid off.

0:00 APU/Citrus College 2:05 Azusa downtown 4:35 Irwindale 7:35 Duarte/City of Hope 11:02 Monrovia 13:37 Arcadia 19:53 Sierra Madre Villa 22:53 Allen 24:43 Lake 26:54 Memorial Park 28:35 Del Mar 30:12 Fillmore 33:14 South Pasadena 37:01 Highland Park 40:23 Southwest Museum 42:16 Heritage Square 43:47 Lincoln/Cypress 46:28 Chinatown 47:25 Union Station

After watching this, I feel like taking the gold line on a Saturday morning just for fun because it looks so chill.

That was excellent. Sunny day, smooth ride, no garbage. Thanks for posting it.

Im from NYC and use to the crowded subway. I loved looking out the front car window and pretending I was the train operator as a kid. I still do sometimes. But you really cant do that anymore. The new high tech train operator cabs have extended across the whole front of the subway car. I would love to ride every subway, street car and light rail line around the world as possible. Ive done so in Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Washington DC, London and Vienna. Id love to ride the ones in Los Angeles and New Orleans. This was fun to watch!

Thank you so much! I miss a lot when this travel I studied in USA, doing Arcadia/Union Station everyday on Gold Line. Arcadia: 12:58.

Excellent video. Particularly liked the styling of the Chinatown staton !

Some parts of this route was the old Santa Fe rail road pasedena line. Great memories

I love the little message 'thanks for going metro' :) just sounds right in that guys voice. AFAIK the london tube announcements never thank you for riding the underground, or minding the gap :)

Cool cab ride, love the LA scenery

Great job bro! I'm glad the op let you film. I once got escorted off the San Diego Trolley and grilled by security guards.

Wowwwww. I haven't ridden in about three years. Lots of added stations. Great.

always found it cool how this line is smack dab in the middle of a freeway

I was lucky as a kid and often got to ride the local freight trains on this line back in the 70's when it was the heavily traveled 2nd division of Santa Fe. The route is certainly the same but wow has it changed. I used to love being in the cupola on the freeway waving at all the cars as they drove along side. I think we used to go faster in the freight trains then these trolleys currently do down the 210 freeway.

Very nice video...the train seems slow but after seeing the traffic on Interstate 210 maybe it's not so bad and a really good alternative to using a car. Would be nice if they could speed that train up a bit, maybe up to 80mph on the straight portions.

The view is stunning!!!

AHHH so excited can't wait till the train to Santa Monica opens this May!

Watch at 2x speed! It's like a timelapse with sound!

This is strangely hypnotizing & soothing to watch. What time of the day is this, seems latish morning commute?

Thanks to your service, without you guy I would never get to.my distnation 😍😎

Thank you for the upload. Nice to get out when we are self isolating.

They could probably increase the speed limits on those straight segments of the Foothill extension, especially with the distance between some of those stations.

Enjoyed this video - arriving at Union Station was fantastic. I have never been to America but if I do, I will come and visit LA

Really enjoyed the ride along and just subscribed :) and that's great that you got inside and filmed out the cab window.

35:55 Highland Park Station. I remember back in 1996 there was no rail here....just a relic of old streetcars and a couch in the median. Then, a few year later, they build the gold line and people complain its too fast.....looking at this video it looks like its gotten much faster

I just read that this section of the Gold line will become part of the Blue line. That's gonna be one long line.

Hi from Australia. I am amazed at how little graffiti you have on your infrastructure...........

its been over 10 years since I left LA, back in 2008, the gold line ended at Sierra Madre Villa. and there was no Expo Line or Southeast gold line. My how time has changed

Very cool video. From talking with Metro Gold Line operators, they seem to prefer these Breda trains to the newer Kinkisharyo trains. I had one operator compare it to driving a Ferrari versus driving a Toyota!

I just saw myself board at Azusa Downtown Station!

Mine is coming out tomorrow! All the way to east la!!

Nice, sitting here in Ontario with 32F temps and snow outside wishing I had stayed in LA.

This is beautiful! So relaxing!

I play this when babies won’t stop crying and i’ve given them everything.

I feel a little nostalgic, but I live too far away to ride the gold line now!

very nice ride and thks for sharing

Always thought the Metro trains go faster than 55

Merci beaucoup pour ce beau voyage !

I rode every rail line except the gold line but I seen the gold line from the 605/210 interchange

como que estes lugares são similares ao Brasil locais cheios de barrancos terra seca sem vegetação beira de estrada mais muito belo

Brilliant video. Good job! From Dublin

I was thinking that I should try the metro gold line from Citrus college to Los Angeles union station and I should say that I am gonna book a holiday trip on the year of 2021and that I never took the metro gold line to the Los Angeles union station before one day I should take the relatives sometime

Sierra Madre Villa Station connects with Metro Local 266 to Lakewood Center Mall

English announcements are in a man's voice and Spanish announcements are in a woman's voice. Hmm....I've always wondered what it's like living in a bilingual city.

Is there a Dodger stadium stop for the light rail, or do you still have to take a bus from the subway?

Hey how did you record a video next to the driver?

Did you manage to get any cab-direction footage of the other section between Little Tokyo and Atlantic when you were there in 2016?

Great video. The Highland Park area needs to be below grade.

Can someone explain to me why there are no crossing gates after the Highland Park Station for a few blocks, i noticed the motorman on the train was going thru the intersection despite the fact that the traffic running parallel with him were stopped at the red light....Is this not a dangerous aspect along that particular stretch of track?.....should there be crossing gates to alert traffic coming accross at those particular intersections that the light rail is coming thru so as to avoid any potential accidents along that stretch ?

At 9.20 there are switched freight tracks on the right with a wye, l wonder if that’s how they get their gravel for the tracks?

How come the Metro trains have 2 horns. One is a Loud horn that sounds like a K5lA horn, the other sounds like a buzzer or quacker. What are the two different horns used for?

Looks like more like a tramway (like these around Paris, France) than a metro... 😉 Still a very beautiful line here... 😊

I've seen a couple of video's from the Metro Rail trains in LA and there is something that puzzles me and I hope someone can explain to me: what are the small, yellow cylinder-shaped gates on the platforms meant for? They seem to be evenly spaced out, but I don't get what they should prevent people from doing. As a Dutch person it''s weird to see such a stretched out trackbed, because in The Netherlands, we are usually only accustomed to having tracks in tight streets that have been there for hundreds of years.

I noticed that some of the crossings are not protected by gates ... how does that work? ... I've never been to LA ... this is a great video ... thanks for posting and sharing.

a bit slow but it's a beatiful line.

Βαθμός: άριστα σε όλα!

Surely no one gave the driver five except fat guy ? What a cruel world :-(

The line looks like the Keikyu line in Japan.

I haven’t took that metro rail to LA union station before but now I like to take it instead of a Uber car it means but I would love to ride metro to LA union station sometime

so the metro rail made it to citrus college ? glendora next.

Why ending at Union Sra?

I don’t see any trackside signals. This line use cab signals only? I worked on the blue line in 1992

Nice video

Nice!

Anyone know what the third set of freight tracks are around 5.25? Maybe old BNSF?

45:31 I see half of an A650

45:31 what was that on the right side?

Earthquake country not bad Above ground.under it Ñooooo

What say 33:00?

LA has Metro!??!?!?!?!? /s

45:30 RIP A650

where are the trains in the other direction

45:28 I saw a abandoned Subway Car!

gta 5 reail life tram cab ride

Looks like urban rail not metro

What a nightmare...start stop..start stop....get beat up. No thanks!! Oh and by the way keep your cell phones and valuables out of sight. Wow Unbeleivable.

Screw the P3010s! All Other LRVs are better than the P3010s!

Ansaldo Breda? Oh boy....

Why does he go so slow when coming into the stations? He could easily come in much faster and still brake in time. Seems like a waste of time to me.

Slow! u want slow ride theb#5 train in NY this is warp speed to Nys Turtle pace

So much traffic in LA. Why do people live there in so much filth?
