Riding the oldest subway cars in the world. They're 1950s cars in the Buenos Aires Metro on Line B. (Trains are Awesome)

Honorable mention to the Muni Metro F Line with a variety of vintage streetcars from the 1950s and earlier. I rode a few early 20th century international ones and found them bumpy, but the 1950s San Francisco cars felt as smooth and quiet as a modern streetcar.

The video recomments RielesDePlata (Silver Rails), a channel about Argentina rail transit by Marcos Villena. The original is in Spanish but the text and audio defaulted to an English translation for me. The English voice has a Spanish accent and is slightly halting, so he may dub it himself.

The T Line in Tacoma. (Classy Whale)

King County transit and growth planning in 1975. (KOMO News) We had a comment thread on it a week ago.

This is an open thread.
