Riding the Pittsburgh 'T' Light Rail North Shore Extension, 07.03.13

While in Pittsburgh recently, I did manage to do a little bit of railfanning, but didn't shoot any video while there, other than this. I rode the Pittsburgh Port Authority's 'T' light rail extension, recently completed across (actually under) the Allegheny River to the North Shore area of the city, home to stadiums, a casino and the Allegheny Commons. Starting at Steel Plaza, the stations seen are Wood Street, the rebuilt Gateway station, then North Side and Allegheny- the present terminus- after crossing under the river.

Nice! Those routes were converted and added to from existing streetcar lines. If Detroit had left their streetcar lines in they could have a transit system like this today.

*Note* At about 9':35" into the video, you can see where a tunnel continues straight, and stops. This stub was the end of the line from 1985 until the early 2000s, and is what's left of "old" Gateway station. New Gateway was built in almost the same location, but along the alignment of the new tunnel to the North Shore.

The Detroit peoplemover runs on steel wheels and it is completely different from the proposed Skybus concept. The Detroit system was dubbed ICTS at the time of construction, Vancouver and Toronto both have this system implemented in some form (Skytrain, Scarborough RT), it's Canadian designed system that uses LIM motors to speed along steel rails rather then the Skybus concept which was rubber wheeled and featured a traditional electric engine. Ironically Bombardier now owns both system.

I hated the fact they re-routed 2 buses to Allegheny Station (Reedsdale Street). Service in the early morning sucks, and I always ran the chance of missing the 18 going to Manchester. Also, 9:39 is the OLD Gateway Centre Station.

These are electric trains. Most light rails do not use a third rail; there are cantenary wires from above to power the trains.

I believe the overhead wires are 600 volts DC current. Much safer without 3rd rail.

Are those diesel or hybrid trains? I don't see a third rail.

jtdavis62: These are all electric powered by overhead wires powered by 600VOLTS DC CURRENT.

At one point PITTSBURGH planned a conceptual design of Maglev Train line connecting the Airport from Allegheny Station some years back in 2004. Wonder if that's in consideration??.
