The Steel City's Charming and Gritty Train (Episode 4 – Pittsburgh Light Rail)

Check out a California native’s first time in the East Coast, as we explore the Pittsburgh Regional Transit’s Light Rail system (PRT), a charming system that has a lot of community character. This is a system unlike any I’ve ever ridden, and its rolling hills and expansive tunnels and bridges are eye candy for adventurers. Welcome to the T.
