Good report.  Are the trains totally autonomous or is there a driver onboard in case of a problem?

Really like your videos.  Soon you'll be right up there with Simply Trains and Downielive.

 

Thanks for the comment. No employees are onboard but there is personnel located at each station.

I wonder if the freeway medians and bridges were built with eventual transit in mind.

 

The new pont Champlain was built with a center transit deck- previously used for bus lanes, but now used by the REM.
