Los Angeles, CA Times, 7/30/15:

 


 

Expo Line 'test train' to cross into downtown Santa Monica on Friday

 

 

Friday morning will mark the first time in more than 60 years that a commuter train has pulled into downtown Santa Monica under its own power.

 

As part of the safety checks required before the Expo Line's second phase can open to the public next year, rail officials will slowly pilot a sleek train from 20th Street to Fifth Street along Colorado Avenue in Santa Monica.

 

Only one problem: This is not a commuter train!   Try light rail.

Progressive Railroading, 8/5/15:

 


Santa Monica gears up for Expo Line testing

 

Late last week, initial evaluations of the Expo Line's overhead catenary system began in Santa Monica, Calif.

This is the story.
