Cool article, I have a pic of a TRAX train I took that I will have to scan in now for this article! --Jon, Conqueror of Men 20:21, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- That would be great to have a picture of it. I was going to post a picture up here but I was writing the article in constricted time. bob rulz 01:59, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] New Map
Why the new map? It looks like it has less information on it than the old one. Aranhamo 17:38, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

- I'm sure it's okay to use it if we have permission from the people who hold the copyright. If you'd like to point out where it says that that's not acceptable I'll shut up, but why wouldn't we be able to use it if we have permission? bob rulz 01:18, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

The entity giving permissions must be listed in the image summary: "Permission: Who or what law or policy gives permission to post on Wikipedia with the selected image copyright tag". The image use policy does NOT say that copyrighted images cannot be used, only that they should not be used if certain copyright tags apply. Nor does it say that images must be licensed under GFDL; note that the GFDL article says that it can be used for "any text-based work".

The new map was blocking the bus route information so I resized it so it wouldn't overlap the table anymore. Users can click it to see it in its uncopyrighted full view glory.--Thecause 07:28, 28 August 2006 (UTC)--Thecause 07:28, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vehicles?
Anyone have any info on the vehicles the UTA operates (who made them, size, carrying capacity, etc.)? --Jfruh (talk) 15:55, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps the Siemens SD-100? Someone should check whether the information at www.lightrail.com[1] is correct as the website has been very well updated as of late. --Millbrooky 18:08, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

- I don't know anything about light rail vehicles, but I ride TRAX every day and I know they use at least three or four different kinds, often mixed-and-matched on the same train. Aranhamo 16:16, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Expansion
Any news on the purposed routes and completion date of the West Valley Transit Line? If so, are you willing to add the information to the wiki entry in a table similar to the Mid-Jordan Line with a list of stops? These are the only information resources that I currently have: http://www.rideuta.com/calendarAndNews/westvalleyTrax/ http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=298452 http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,645193240,00.html Also, is their any more information on the Draper and Salt Lake City International Airport actual lines? That would be good to include too. --Thecause 07:15, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- Well, I can dig through the Deseret Morning News archives to find the latest info. I think they're debating whether or not to include all 4 of the lines and the commuter rail extension as part of a sales tax hike deal instead of a property tax hike. I believe I remember reading that it was approved, but it may just be being discussed at the moment. I'll look into it. I don't think they have any specific info on the actual lines themselves, as they haven't been approved or anything like that. bob rulz 00:25, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 9400 S
The 9400 S line was supposed to open on August 26th, 2006 according to fliers at other TRAX stations, however it was still under construction on that day. It's open this morning, so it either opened late on the 26th, the 27th, or the morning of the 28th. Aranhamo 16:54, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
