The Red Line rapid is built to heavy rail standards with high level platforms, but uses overhead current collection. The line opened in the 1950's mostly along railroad rights-of-way. In the late 1960's this line was the first to link a city's airport with its downtown which it continues to do today.
The current cars are from Kinki-Sharyo. Trains are typically one or two car lengths, but 4 are possible. This line could handle so much more traffic then is currently serves. But it is a great way to go from the airport to the city!
