Spooky Special: The Ghost Metros: Episode 20

(or listen on YouTube)

When we talk about metros built after WWII, we normally think of the big three: MARTA, BART, and the Washington Metro. However, there also exist the forgotten middle children of the era: the PATCO Hi-Speedline, the Baltimore Metro SubwayLink, Miami Metrorail, and the Cleveland Red Line. Tune in to learn each of these systems' stories, plus their quirks, successes, and shortfalls. These systems point us toward a brighter tomorrow, and they show what can be created with a little political will.
