BLUE Line - Ledbetter (to/from) Downtown Rowlett Destination: Downtown Rowlett Detailed map: [http://www.dart.org/maps/printrailmap.asp] Began Operation: *January 1997 =============== Total stations: 21 =============== Connecting Bus Service: *Routes are shown in video in parenthesis **Example: (0, 00, 000, D-Link) =============== Stations: *Ledbetter *VA Medical Center *Kiest *Illinois *Morrell *8th & Corinth *Cedars *Convention Center *Union Station --------------------------- *DOWNTOWN* \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ *West End *Akard *Saint Paul *Pearl/Arts District /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ *DOWNTOWN* --------------------------- *Cityplace/Uptown *Mockingbird *White Rock *Lake Highlands *LBJ/Skillman *Forest/Jupiter *Downtown Garland *Downtown Rowlett =============== Note: *I was not able to record the southern alignment of the BLUE Line (stations include: Ledbetter; VA Medical Center; Kiest; Illinois; Morrell) due to time availability issues. This "FULL RIDE" installment of the BLUE Line is part of a combination of recordings from the RED; GREEN; and ORANGE Lines; whereas, not all clips are a continuous recording of the BLUE Line except parts of the other lines as spoken before. The station of 8th & Corinth is part of the RED Line recording, so all I would have needed to do was to record all stations part of the BLUE Line's southern alignment. If I were to travel to Ledbetter station then back north to 8th & Corinth station, the amount time awaiting for a BLUE Line train; traveling to the terminus; factor-of the amount-of-time laying-over; heading to downtown Dallas to transfer to a GREEN or ORANGE Line train heading north to Inwood/Love Field station and finally awaiting and the travel-time of the connector bus; I have yet to factor-in the security checkpoints to my terminal, would have taken more than 110-minutes with only 70-minutes remaining. I decide cancel the recording head to the airport from 8th & Corinth, arriving at my terminal with 40-minutes to spare. As I stated before, many of the recordings are purposely broken to eliminate a continuous recording for-the-sake of the battery-usage and file space available. The video begins at 'Mockingbird Lane' station; to view all southwest alignment stations - excluding the BLUE Lines south-portion after 8th & Corinth - see the RED Line "FULL RIDE!" video.
