Sound Transit breaks ground on Northgate Link light rail extension

The $2.1 billion Northgate Link Extension will run mostly underground. When the project opens in 2021 it will offer service 20 hours a connecting

20 hours a [what]?

Presumably, 20 hours a “day” but I doubt TRAINS will decide to correct the story.

Should read 20 hours a day.

It looks like somebody made a typo error on that 20 hours, but my assumption is service from 5am to 1am. The light rail is at last coming to my old neighborhood where I spent my toddler years watching steam trains rolling close by Queen Anne Hill.

at long last! i moved to the area to find work in the seattle area in 1959 hoping to get a job surveying for the badly-needed rail line forced onto seattle by its north-south orientation. yes i’ve ridden the new line although it wasn’t open all the way to the airport.
