kylejack Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I wonder how smart it would be to buy some property near the Fulton rail corridor. There are some very cheap properties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Looks like metro is going to shut down a portion of N. Main for a bit for construction for 12 months. Good lord!Any HAIFers live in the area? Should be interesting to get some photos of the area as it develops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure would love to know the reasoning behind it. Not second guessing, but just like to know the details of how and why, even though it will be seen after its completed.

Triton Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I present to you, elevated LRT at UofH downtown: closer up ...and this is looking back from the other side of the tunnel this is the rest of Main going north.. as you can see, most of it is shutdown Edit: Actually now that I think about it, this is probably for cars only right? The rail will probably be placed in the tunnel..maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot why they dismissed a tunnel option for it.Apparently, there was a crane accident over at Hogan @ N. Main that had to do with the rail construction. Ch. 13 is showing some shots of the overturned crane. I wonder if someone didn't add enough weight to the counterbalance. Wondering when the Anti metro people will jump on this.

ricco67 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I took this with my spiffy new camera and thought I'd share this with you you guys. I did it for each line. For the sake of sanity, I sped it up a tad and decided not to add a sound track for safe office viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh come on.. ya could have at least added the "chica chica chica" of the train and the occasional steam engine whistle for our auditory pleasure. Just kidding.. good job.

There is an answer to your question.. but I'm not going to cater to your laziness. Click the link. Hell, you don't even have to read, your answer can be found in the pretty picture.

ricco67 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I just realized, if I'm going to do a Current red line video, I need to get on it, I guess this sunday is vid day again.So....should I use the filter again, go south-north, or north-south?Initially, I just wanted to do it during a busy day to show how often the train would pass me. On a slow sunday, I think I would beat the rail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jax Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I drove along the north line after checking out Radical Eats (vegan Mexican food) and it was looking really good. I'm amazed at how much progress there has been. Here are a couple poor quality car window photos I took: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I drove along the north line after checking out Radical Eats (vegan Mexican food)....can't most mexican meals be considered "Vegan?"Still sounds wrong, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I don't think so. Vegan means no animal products, so cheese and meat are made of tofu type stuff. I know, it sounds weird, but it actually wasn't bad (wasn't the best Mexican food I've ever had either). Definitely not your typical Mexican food.http://www.yelp.com/...al-eats-houston(Sorry to go off topic). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricco67 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Had some time on friday, so I went by the Light rail construction of the bridge modifications at the UHDT section. This is looking over the computer fence looking north. This is the view from directly below the the bridge to the road leading towards main street. So to speak.

Pleak Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Looks like the next round of funding has come in from the feds. $94 million each for the North Line and the Southeast Line.So at least the lights can stay on for a little while longer.http://blog.chron.com/txpotomac/2012/08/houston-metro-receives-188-million-for-light-rail-construction/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arndthwrld82 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 When this line is operational will the trains run the entire length of this line and the main street line, or will I have to transfer to another train at the UH Downtown stop? If they run the full length will the time between trains increase? Just wondering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
