Yesterday Metro deployed the new 7000 series rail cars on the Blue Line, which runs from Springfield, Virginia, through the District to Largo, Maryland. The new cars replace the oldest cars in Metro’s system. It was some excitement for us, since we use the blue line periodically for commuting. I drove to work yesterday, so I didn’t get to ride a new car. Today I missed 2 old trains at the Metro station before catching a new one, waited extra 12 minutes. 🙂
The new rail cars look modern with a beautiful exterior, interior, fluorescent lighting and crisp sound system.
