eh, every day FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES (i'm guessing, because it's been going on as long as i've lived here) between rush periods they're doing construction at Sheridan, which requires the trains to switch tracks after Wilson and before Addison, making things obnoxiously slow if you accidentally leave your house too late.

I'm going to be forever amazed that it takes this long, and this much cash, to run a goddamn train from A to B. It's light rail, too. The railroad has been around for how long now?

There's beauty in the solace of not giving a damn.

FWIW, the L system is actually considered heavy rail.

Passenger rail terminology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I just went to San Diego and much of their light rail system runs at grade and in some places has to stop for stoplights. The L, of course, has its own right of way, and even at grade gets the right of way.

but "light" vs. "heavy" can also go with passenger capacity.

Ok, well how bout this St. Louis Metrolink.

Small cars but with its own right away.

I would have previously assumed light rail, but now wikipedia has me doubting myself.

I don't know, maybe I'm explaining it weird. Most of the difference seems to be with passenger capacity.
