urbanMSP

Or would could just get a box of cheap wine, then smash the bottles on tracks when it's done.

Both the grammar and content of this sentence are leaving me mystified.

If you read several posts up, there's discussion about places to watch the test.
I'd hope one would understand given that context
Are you going to be there tonite?
I will. Be sure to say hi.

I was just joking. I think it's funny (maybe it's intentional!) that you suggest buying BOXED wine, and then smashing the bottles.

Ha ha
spoke to man with camera, said he was just filming for development of the Metrodome area. He did say he took a couple shots of the train

don't see the train being towed, but do see a couple men on a cart sanding or skiving the new lines over the fly over bridge

Here's a reddit post with a picture of the train from a few hours ago. For bonus fun expand the downvoted comment complaining about the crime this will bring, and how it will be a drunken student murder machine, and also it's harder to drive around campus now.

You gotta just put the Video ID, nothing else:

Danke scheon

Standing on the Washington Ave ped bridge, waiting for the train... The tripod guy(s) are set up at Washington and Church.

My wife is also there - she works in the medical complex and had to take care of a lab tonight, so she's taking camera-phone pictures.

For anyone waiting, I asked a metro transit guy, and he said they should run at about 11.30.

Since the full editor is down, I'll just post links to a couple pictures I took of the first run here:

Hi, LRV Op Dude!

It was definitely worth the wait (9- 11:30pm). When the lrt finally emerged from under the bridge, it was almost magical but I was a little disappointed not to see the new s70 lrt being used.

... hopefully that worked, if not, just head over to http://www.flickr.com/photos/ottergoose/

It was nice meeting some of you out there last night; time for bed!

thanks for posting the pics and video. on scene reporters, cool!

I was going to ask you guys on the bridge last night if you knew about UrbanMSP, but I got sidetracked by something (probably a bus) and never did. Looks like the answer was yes.

It is curious that they used a Bombardier instead of the new Siemens. I thought I heard the older trainsets will never actually be used on the Green Line.

OtterGoose, I really like those pictures you posted and the rest on your Flickr. As a fellow photographer (or at least as a guy that spent a ton of money on a fancy camera) what do you shoot with?

A couple more, for good measure...




It'll be interesting to see if there's a preference for the Siemens vs Bombardier cars on one line over the other.

If you're into transit trivia (and who isn't?), 104 (pictured above) was the Bombardier car that debuted the METRO colors last fall.

FISHMANPET, thank you, thank you! The vast majority of my recent work is with an old-timey Canon 40D and a 10-22 ultrawide lens, although last night I borrowed my buddy's 60D so I'd have some more ISO to play with.
