Video from Eastside Gold Line sneak peek ride

Steve and I had the chance to ride the Gold Line Eastside Extension on Wednesday and boy did we have fun. The news media gets their chance to ride today, so look out for news coverage this weekend. The general public can experience the fun on opening day, November 15th.

Until then, live vicariously through this footage I shot on our recent journey.  You’ll see the platform of the underground Soto Station, views from the drivers seat as the train cruises at street level, and best of all, Steve Hymon in a hard hat and neon Metro vest.

Enjoy.

About Fred Camino

Fred Camino is a transit advocate, blogger, designer and animator living car-free in Downtown LA and lovin' it. A transplant from Florida, Fred moved to L.A. in 2003 (with a car) and quickly realized that riding Metro made the traffic snarled city bearable – and even kind of great. He dumped his car for good in 2005 and a year later he started MetroRiderLA, a blog promoting the L.A. transit lifestyle. Fred's contributions to The Source continue this theme with coverage of the day-to-today issues that affect Metro riders, promotion of Metro accessible destinations and glimpses into the technology innovations that are making transit a more accessible and appealing alternative to the car.
