With little fanfare, an Expo Line train powered up and ran down the tracks for the first time today. The above video shows a test train leaving the Vermont Avenue station and heading west.

Testing of the line will continue through spring and summer with a target date of a partial opening of the line to La Cienega Boulevard in mid-November.
