Monorail Service To Resume

The monorail cars were zooming down 5th avenue this last weekend - but empty. Turns out that they're still in test mode, and should reopen soon:

Spokesman David Heurtel (hur-TEL') says crews are working on final tests and officials should know in a day or two when the monorail can return to service.

It has been shut down since November 26th when the monorail's two trains sideswiped each other on a curve.

This is very good news, and I'll be in line to ride 'em once they're officially re-opened. The new trains look good, too - nice new paint, cleaned up. Certainly they're a damn sight prettier than they were after the accident in November.

UPDATE, September 4, 2006: One or more of the original hyperlinks on this page expired, and has been dereferenced. The hyperlinked text is now underlined.
