Have you seen Metro’s newest Red Line train?

Metro is granting this guy’s wish today.

If all is going well, a shiny new Metro train has already made its journey through the Red Line a time or two today. WMATA chose this line for the debut of its second eight-car train made up of cars from the 7000 series. It was to depart the Shady Grove station for the first time at 7:01 this morning.

The first eight-car 7000-series train debuted on the Blue Line in April and so far runs only that route. The Washington Post says the same will hold true of the second one – it will be dedicated to the Red Line, at least “in coming months” according to interim General Manager Jack Requa.

The Post also suggests that this train is one way Metro’s trying to “make nice” with passengers who’ve put up with with a lot of breakdowns lately on Metro’s oldest and troubled line.

What do you think? Were you one of 7000-series’ first riders? Are you excited to ride?
