@RaymondMCMVIII @PurpleLineMD This is the actual train with 6 door sets per side.

[Tim Sloan @TimSloanDC]

The @PurpleLineMD is designed to run roughly 90% of its 16.2-mile route in its own dedicated ROW with 52 grade crossings. It will also be running the longest Light rail vehicle in the US at 142 feet long in mixed traffic for 1.4 miles on Wayne Avenue. #LightRailSafety #BikeDC

@Airbuilder7 @PurpleLineMD Yes; eastbound left turns at Whole Foods parking lot and Cedar st. One westbound turn lane onto Fenton all done with painted median striping.

[Tim Sloan @TimSloanDC]

@emojiluver82 @PurpleLineMD ROW means Right-of-Way; all stops are within the ROW.

@maustermuhle Did Trump go to a yard sale for all these statues?

@joeflood There’s no way whatever replaces it will have as much style and flair. #GoodArchitecture

@ItsMePatrickE @TODNewsHub @PurpleLineMD @wmata Yes, Metro will display new maps showing @PurpleLineMD and all the connections.

@inconspicuousLE @PurpleLineMD That intersection looks very problematic! Why would they build a right-turn slip-lane onto train tracks? The car will have speed and a blind spot to trains from the right.

[Tim Sloan @TimSloanDC]

It begins. There will be a learning curve for drivers around @PurpleLineMD trains and tracks on what was once “their” roadway.

[The DC MD VA Live @TheDMVLive]

A driver got stuck on the (future) Purple Line train tracks along Riverdale Road at 64th Ave in Prince George’s County, Maryland this evening.

The car had to be pulled off of the tracks in the rain. No injuries were reported.
