2010 APTA Rail Conference: MetroRail Successful Launch and Lessons Learned

Editor's Notes

  1. Talk about history on this slide: From referendum to opening: 5.5 years Existing tracks
  2. Fun info about these photos: Top left-hand picture: Even Spike, the mascot from the Round Rock Express minor league baseball team cam out to ride on Day 1. The couple in the middle photo has lived by one of our stations for 15 years and they said that they had been waiting for years to ride the train. On the day that this photo was taken, they just came out to ride for fun! Black Star beer co-op--the first cooperatively-owned brewpub in the country located by our very own Crestview Station!--held the Rail n’ Ale Beer Social the first week we opened.
