Didn't realize my local tram line was intriguing to so many people... especially nice that the Blue line extends to UCSD area now

Wow, Great video! Fun fact: for my birthday I never had parties, I took the Amtrak train to San Diego to see the MTS Light Rail. It was fun.

Althought I never have been to the USA something looked quite familiar. Now I know why: Those vehikles are variants of german Stadtbahn-type. When I saw the typical Düwag-Falttüre at 3:39 I presumed it, and short research proofed. Nice, that those Stadtbahn-vehikles even run there. If there wouldn't be that strange noises of nearnly permanent warning sounds for everything, it could have been videos form somewhere in germany, too.

I know I'm literally 5 years late but those are our railroad crossings. Whenever a train is anywhere near a crossing that goes off continuously. Annoying but probably necessary.

Technically those aren’t Siemens-Düwag U2s, they are Siemens SD-100s, which are based on the U2 design, but were built with slight differences for the North American market.

Must be nerve wracking to operate that trolley on the grade with vehicular traffic. I prefer my job, operating a NYCT subway train underground or on the El although the San Diego Trolley looks like a lot of fun but a little too comfortable.

Nice video. Does it always run on reserved track or is there mixed trolley and road traffic as well??

It runs on dedicated lines completely separate except from grade crossings. There are only a couple of areas that have what you might call street running. For example, in parts of downtown San Diego and out in Santee. But even in in those areas the trains are still largely separated from car traffic.

In the Santee area, right before Arnele Ave. station, the Trolley runs in the middle of the intersection

Outside of areas with high amounts of vehicle traffic, it runs entirely on its own dedicated ROW with grade crossings. Inside of areas with high traffic, it shares the road with cars and must stop at all intersections whenever necessary to maintain good traffic flow. Busier sections can’t have typical grade crossings because that would cause serious traffic congestion, so they use special lights to allow cars a chance to cross the tracks whilst simultaneously allowing trains higher priority.

Why did some S70s have different traction motors than the others? Are those an older model before the current traction motors came out?

Does that thing close it doors one at a time all the time?, seems really slow and inefficient the way it closed at the beginning.

Yes. Goes off a sensor or something, there is a timer from when someone passes through the door and if no activity is sensed for how many seconds, that door closes. Each door only opens if someone presses the button for it.

No. The operator controls them. When the train stops, the operator opens all the doors at once and sometimes closes them all at once (they don’t close all at once if there’s somebody blocking a specific doorway). However, even when they close, they remain unlocked and openable by passengers until they choose to depart, at which point they auto-lock.

how much does it cost to ride from Old Town to Down Town San Diego? I plan on arriving there next week and from previous experiences downtown parking was horrendous but heard you can park in old town and then catch this trolley.
