Houston's 7.5 mile "starter" line began service on the first day
of 2004;
with that event, the city lost the
dubious distinction of being the
largest in the U.S. without electric rail transit.
The route operates between terminals at the University
of Houston - Downtown and Fannin South, southwest of center city.
Much of the way it travels along reserved street lanes, including
a long stretch along Main St. through and beyond downtown.
This photo shows an
inbound
train stopped at the northbound Main Street Square station, two stops before
the northbound terminal. |
