Testing Ongoing for Gold Line Eastside Extension. Opening Set for November?
Pre-revenue testing has commenced in earnest on the Metro Gold Line Eastside Extension (MGLEE). The testing started last Sunday, October 4th. By Monday the trains were running frequently and appeared to be running without any problems. Unlike the stress and other tests, the pre-revenue tests are meant to introduce all involved parties-drivers, motorists, residents and store owners-with the trains' routes and running times. It was not difficult to spot a number of the trains passing by on Alameda, E. First, Indiana and E. 3rd Streets throughout the day.
