⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ MUNI Metro: More New LRV4 Trains in San Francisco

Описание: We filmed so much of MUNI's brand-new LRV4 trains in San Francisco, the Siemens S200s, that we decided to split into two parts. So here's some 14 more minutes of 4K/60fps footage shot throughout the city on multiple lines.

The locations featured in this video are in order as follows:
Montgomery
Civic Center
Van Ness
Church St and Duboce Ave (both N and J trains)

Sidenote: Our camera got low on battery by the time we were filming the outdoor clips, which is why parts of this video appear choppy at times. We apologize for this drop in quality in parts of the video.

The first of MUNI's new light rail vehicles arrived in San Francisco in January of 2017, and after months of rigorous testing, the first train set, Car 2005, entered revenue service on November 17, 2017. Since then, many more trains have begun operations on all of MUNI's light rail lines, as the old Breda cars will slowly be phased out and replaced over time.

The new trains are equipped with fully automated announcements, electronic destination displays and next-stop information, an enhanced braking system that reduces energy consumption through regenerative braking, and more reliable doors, intended to put them up to the task of transporting thousands of passengers throughout San Francisco every day. They are manufactured by Siemens in Sacramento, making them quite easy to transport the 110 miles to the city.

In the coming months and years, more LRV4 trains will enter service across the MUNI Metro network, as they slowly but surely begin to dominate the streets and tunnels of the system.
