Sneak a Peek at Maryland's New Purple Line Trains

Dan Malouf offers a sneak peak at the new Purple Line light rail trains that will eventually operate in Maryland.

While the trains will operate in Prince George's and Montgomery counties in Maryland, the trains are being assembled in Elmira, New York.

The access to the assembly line in the factory comes from the official Purple Line Twitter account.

So far in 2019 the news about the Purple Line hasn't been so productive. Construction delays and lawsuits made the news in January.
