Album Info:This album is a collection of photos of the St. Louis MetroLink passing through different spots along the Red and Blue lines in St. Louis City and County. PLEASE use caution if you ever wish to take photos of MetroLink. Their policy says they allow it in "public areas" of Metro's system. They do however have a policy that says "no taking pictures of infrastructure" and a lot of their employees think their private policy has legal authority outside their property lines. They do not own the County and City right of ways. They're pretty camera shy and awfully sensitive about people taking pictures of anything that's their property so railfan this system at your own risk.

Title:  St. Louis MetroLink -- Docked at Shrewsbury Station (1)
Description:  MetroLink Car 1002 is a very original MetroLink SD-400 LRV from when the original alignment opened in July of 1993. I took this photo of it docked at the Shrewsbury Station on Landsdown Ave on my way to work. I rode in the this car from Forest Park after transferring onto the Blue Line. In a few more minutes, the driver will enter the cab facing the camera and prepare the train for her eastbound trip out to Fairview Heights, IL, leading Car 1022 in tow.
