DC Streetcar on display!

These cars are smaller then I thought they would be. Their interior layout is similar to the interiors of the Siemens S70 Avanto run down in Charlotte NC.

I like the pattern of the seat cushion fabric. I hope WMATA chooses this fabric for the 7k cars.

The person charged with the care of the cars tells me the they are exercised in Greenbelt yard using battery power. They are capable of running about a 1/4 of a mile on level track using battery power





























Don't ask me what the two buttons on the floor are for as I didn't ask

It DC DOT hires operators form WMATA to operate the cars they are going to have to get use to the controller handle on the left. The the controller handle on metrorail cars is on the right

Cool. Thanks.  I like the Broadway Limited t-shirt on the guy in the wheelchair.
