WestCoast Elevators and Transit
United States
Приєднався 7 лют 2015
Welcome to WestCoast Elevators! Here you will find elevator (duh), public transit, train, plane, and trip report videos. There will also occasionally be a few other random things thrown in the mix for your enjoyment. My videos are primarily from the San Francisco Bay Area, but I do also get videos from elsewhere while traveling.

These are some really neat elevators. Fixtures you don’t normally see, originally installed by a company you don’t usually see, with a unique cab design. What’s not to like?

One of Fairfax Connector’s second hand pickups to help increase service availability. I’m not entirely sure why they opted not to repaint or wrap these, but the colors do work decently well for Connector.
INCREDIBLE Pull The Rope Historic Freight Elevator - West End Architectural Salvage, Des Moines IA

This is my first time riding or even seeing a pull the rope elevator! This is an incredible piece of technology from before buttons became standard on elevators. The employee who was nice enough to show me this beautiful machine also demonstrated and talked about how the controls work. I can not recommend this business enough. Aside from this absolutely amazing elevator they also sell a wide as...

Nothing too special of an elevator, but I have grown a deep appreciation for Menards. I truly wish we had them in other parts of the country, but who knows if they will ever expand out of the Midwest. This elevator is also oddly wide but not very deep, a true Menards special.
Newborn Beluga - 2023 Gillig Low Floor Plus Hybrid - Santa Clara VTA Bus 3403 - Route 56
Переглядів 8094 місяці тому
NEW BUS ALERT! Ride one of VTA's newborn belugas on its first day in service. These buses only started entering revenue service within the last week, but will soon be everywhere. Let this be a wakeup call to ride the old diesels before they go. These buses have a number of quirks and features. One of which being round stop request buttons which look like Staples "That was easy!" buttons. There ...

These are pretty nice elevators, and provide great views. They are often quite warm though inside in the summer, and sometimes only one car is running.

These poor things needs to retire. RIP. The heavy heavy breathing is a bit much. 😢
They made some updates to the cab on this one such as adding in brown wall paneling and changing the floor. The COP is unfortunately in worse condition and all the floor buttons are blank except for 3 which is a door open.
Unfortunately this elevator is currently being modernized into a Schindler stainless steel tin can with MAD Atoll. They’re keeping the glass but as far as I can tell all the gold is going.
This bus makes funny and silly clown noises from the Voith transmission when decelerating. In other words, it starts clowning around when decelerating. 🤡🤡🤡
Thanks for capturing memories that will otherwise be lost.
Dude I had this one on lines 68 and 57
Sounds like Cummins isc actually
Dang! In like 3 years, that may get stuck! This elevator dosnt sound good.
0:05 that was a bad reverb (in my opinion) In our subway system, which is the MBTA, it has a longer reverb
it's like a thyssenkrupp elevator
Looks like the first toilet was clogged before due to the scratches
Hey, I just stepped foot into a Von Maur for the first time on Mother’s Day weekend. Perimeter in Atlanta to be exact! And in my home state of Florida, the company wants to start in Naples. After visiting, I can see why I love Von Maur: for their high end look and having a pianist!
I don’t know what Gillig was smoking when they decided to make all of their EV buses based off the Low Floor Plus platform instead of the BRT Plus. So my transit agency got Belugas
floor 1 1/2 is different.
1:57 Please exit & follow the signs to Baggage Claim B
This is a fun route to take. I use it when going to Twin Peaks
Is that the bus bobbie McGee slipped away on? I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday...
Records say this is montgomery
These types of elevators have been illegal to operate in California since 1970-1977, and thus are probably extinct in California (at least in working condition). As for it being the 23rd elevator installed in the state of Iowa, that's most likely not the case. It might be the 23rd elevator inspected by the state of Iowa, but it's possible the state started inspecting elevators long after this elevator was installed. Many states didn't inspect elevators until after World War II, if not much later.
Yes, good point in the fact this would be the 23rd to be inspected rather than installed. That’s also really unfortunate how they’re not legal to operate in CA. I would have thought that like many other things they would get grandfathered in. At least some other states seem to have taken that approach so that they aren’t entirely extinct (yet).
Realized my friend caught the exact same bus earlier in the same day lol, which I do have a video of.
Is this the elevator to street at BSL Spring Garden Station?
❤
My goodness these are so rare! Possibly a YT First!
It’s a Montgomery modded by Kone according to a third party elevator company maintainer for vta.
Unfortunately there is still a faint hint of the creaking on this elevator, but it’s no where near as bad as in this video. The floor felt a bit unstable when it occurred though, not the best feeling.
6 years later this thing is literally exactly the same.
Sounds just like Ride On's 2005 New Flyer C40LFs that retired in 2020 due to rear door issues
These are amazing. And also 2 Otis Lexans across from 2 Thyssen/Northerns with big analog indicators isn’t something you see everyday. In terms of fixtures, these are definitely cooler though. Awesome elevators and good video of these.

That elevator needs help. Justin filmed it as well, but it had a loud fan going.
How long are these Orions going to be in service until Retirement?
Thank You!
Is that first black closed front seat a Sperzel?
Congratulations you just hit the jackpot Heres the rating of this toilet 11+/10 (1000/10)
First toilet is antique from 1913 Kurtz Ariston It reminds of the the older flushometers you see in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets with the older Black Toilet seat Final toilet is a round bowl Eljer Sanus from the 30s possibly Urinal is Standard Madstone
That’s a ThyssenKrupp door track I think, but I’m no expert.
Unfortunately, I think these elevators have since been modernized from research. In this video they are definitely on original Otis relay logic.
This elevator is my favorite love love everything about it from chimes, glass, motor and views of the escalators. It’s rare at nowadays to see this great stuff
I actually got to experience it for the first time on December 27th, 2023 although the day before that as we were exiting Powell Street, I was surprised to see that the escalator to the Union Square platform was a VERY long way down.
Atlantis Seems Nice.
😮
I wonder why Mitsubishi didn’t mod this elevator. I feel like it would be a best mod tbh
THIS REALLY IS A LOT OF POO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the other one is a case cetell toilet
from 1913 too
Epic
This is 5th and Walnut

No Montgomery at all, just KONE. My favorite elevator in the mall!
Lol, I knew that, not sure why I put Montgomery in there. I wish we still had Montgomery as late as 2004.
I wonder why Des Moines?
I wonder why not Des Moines?
This is train 366 I believe
