Nice elevator. We've ridden it before when using the Metro. It has since been ripped out and replaced by three high speed elevators as part of the Rosslyn Central Place construction project that was completed a few years ago. Those long escalators there are still in use and are some of the longest in the Metro system.

the shot I got of you here at 3:43 is the closing shot I used for my documentary about you (Elevated: An Uplifting Community).

This elevator is in VIRGINIA, NOT DC. Also, this elevator has been decommissioned.

Awesome video! Dieselducy, you need to get back here after Monday October 7, 2013 when the 3 new high-speed elevators will be unveiled and put into service officially. Sorry RU-vid wouldn't let me post the URL. Google, "Rosslyn RSAI" should be first or second hit.

@NC_YT_123 2 года назад

Definitely one of the nicer metro style elevators I’ve seen

@DieselDucy 2 года назад

It was decent

I was on that escalator back in January,2012

3:20 Well typically the main cables on an elevator are near impossible to break because they were designed very over engineered and also the reason why the capacity says more than what you can fit into an elevator is actually another safety feature because you wont ever get to that high of a capacity in the first place even if you somehow cramped the cab full of people

@DieselDucy 5 месяцев назад

Correct

@Bombiedude. 5 месяцев назад

Also the safety governor should probably be bidirectional because if an elevator’s brakes fail and it goes into freefall it will typically go upwards since you are under capacity meaning the counterweight is heavier than you and the elevator cab its just the contractors that approve businesses to install elevators cant get the idea of a bidirectional governor in their heads

@DieselDucy 5 месяцев назад

Correct

Specialty Elevators & UEE's by Technicalboy3000 They ripped this thing out a very long time ago

@blueauraretriever 7 лет назад

QuarioQuario54321 WHEN IT WAS MRL?

@QuarioQuario54321 7 лет назад

Specialty Elevators & UEE's by Technicalboy3000 Never, they ripped the whole thing out

@blueauraretriever 7 лет назад

QuarioQuario54321 MRL is no longer here rigjt

@EWPA14 6 лет назад

AP Lifts of Clinton Township by MagicalLift256 I don’t think this was ever MRL. I’m pretty sure DieselDucy was just mistaken at the beginning.

@greekliftfreak3384 6 лет назад

Why does the floor indicator always show "S"?Shouldn't it show "T" and "P" as well?

@Josh-lm7qq 8 лет назад

I realize the indicator does not change all it does is changes the arrow

@Bombiedude. 5 месяцев назад

5:21 Ive actually heard up in europe and the Uk where dewhurst elevators are more common theyre actually not very good in terms of how well they run but unlike those this elevator runs really well

@DieselDucy 5 месяцев назад

It ran decent

@nanasajaia8919 5 лет назад

you are incorrect this is in arlington virginia not in washington dc

@nbigham1 12 лет назад

I wish I could see that documentary. It would have been cool. If any one know where or how to see it, please respond.

@joaquinfernandesgarcia996 Год назад

You can't listen to the motor because the fan is running

@patrickselevators7446 7 лет назад

that looks like a roped hydraulic elevator

@thewildeeper 12 лет назад

"I normally don't film escalators, but I think I'm gonna film this one." Yup, this is a backlogged video! Wow, nice view of the machine room! Kinda wish I stopped at Rosslyn now.

@relorzen 6 лет назад

Rosslyn metro station in DC, never been at Rosslyn station

@doverelevatorfan 12 лет назад

At last the elevators at the Washington park max station are WAY faster and bigger.

@phillies4100_mainsite 12 лет назад

@alpaljl 12 лет назад

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FILMING THIS!!! I PASSED THIS ON THE ESCALATOR. I WAS IN A RUSH TO LEAVE SO I COULDN'T RIDE THIS!

@patricknedz 11 месяцев назад

It’s gone now

@22408aaron 10 лет назад

This elevator has sadly been permanently decommissioned. :( At 4:05 where that crane is is where the 3 new high speed elevators are

@HiFiAndElevators22 10 лет назад

And even more unfortunately, the 3 new elevators that replaced this one are absolute crap. They can't seem to go 2 days without one of them breaking down. In fact, even as I'm writing this, one of them is out of service due to a "Customer Incident" (which is Metro-slang for "someone got stuck in it"). For this reason, I usually refer to those new elevators as "The Rosslyn Fail-o-vators." By the way, they still haven't bothered ripping out the old elevator yet. I was just there the other day, and it is still sitting there doing nothing.

Aw man that sucks.
