Vancouver SkyTrain - UTDC/Bombarder ICTS Mark I Compilation
17,388
Published 2023-11-21
SkyTrain opened in 1985 using the UTDC-built Mark I cars to move people between Vancouver, Burnaby, and New Westminster. 114 cars (001-056, 061-118) were ordered for the initial phase of the system. In 1991, a second batch of Mark I cars (121-136) were built by the same corporation to increase capacity while running between Waterfront and Scott Road Stations. In 1995, Bombardier built the last batch of Mark I cars (137-156) for the same purpose while running between Waterfront and King George Stations.
These trains have a signature SkyTrain motor sound especially when accelerating and breaking in and outside of stations.
Mark I trains are also used in Toronto (retired Line 3 Scarborough), and Detroit (Detroit People Mover).
Please sit back, relax, and enjoy my Mark I compilation.

Gotta love the sounds the Mark I traction motors make. While I'm biased, I do believe that the Mark I's make the best sound out of any metro train I've heard.
-
Love the Mark 1s
-
27:20 my fav mark 1! ♥
-
thanks for railfaning at surrey central and gateway at the first start of this video

I like the mark 1
-
SkyTrain is like the Detroit People Mover, with the same rolling stock and automated system, but more expansive.
-
I hope the mark 1s live a long life as proof of how good and well built they were for thier time. The originals are still in service 1/1/24

7:00 Godly chimes
-
Also they've maintained this stock for a long time there's lots of pride in SkyTrain both for the workers and public. More TransLink creators than the TTC
-

4:53 Look through the windows, you'll see double white doors on a 1995 mk 1, with one door having a red rim
