New Livery Side by Side; Minneapolis, MN by ottergoose, on Flickr
In the side by side photos I got of them, the new paint's shiny and clean, and the old LRVs were pretty grimy, so it's impossible to tell. Surely it's the same yellow they're using on the Nortstar equipment, and that's certainly not what I'd call a "light" yellow.Is is just me, or is the yellow on the newly painted Bombardier lighter? Or is is just that the old paint scheme is dirty?
I saw LRV 114 out on the line this morning.by Ottergoose » October 13th, 2012, 7:45 pm
Is 114 (the Bombardier in fresh paint) back in regular service yet?
It's been uploaded for one day... I'd say that's a fair number of views, and it won't get to a broader audience if people complain about it rather than share it...With 119 views so far, it will need to reach a broader audience to convert any skeptics. I also think this kind of promotional piece generally serves more steel the resolve of those who are already "converted" rather than convert anybody - it's not exactly flashy, and Peter is given about 20 seconds at the end to describe future directions and planning.
Still, I for one was surprised to hear Peter McLaughlin, arguably the most powerful local leader in transit issues, mention the Gateway corridor in the same sweep as Hiawatha, Central, Southwest and Bottineau - the big three sure things and the only other highly promising line - given Gateway's questionable status. Perhaps that means that inside the CTIB there's some consensus that some LRT line should extend east toward the 3M campus? I can't imagine he seriously thinks LRT would be viable much farther out than that on the east side...
