Don't think I would want that end room on the 4th floor of that Marriott.

Sound should not be that bad, this is an electrified light rail system with a relatively straight alignment. I would, on the other hand, keep my curtains drawn. The segment we worked on passed by 4 or 5 similar hotels. It is just south of SEATAC airport.

The laptop is nice because of the screen size. The numbers are nice and big and easier to see in the daylight. A scanner can also be utilized on the Amberg system through the same laptop. Of course the only Leica scanner it does not work with is my C-10.


We can also output tamper files directly for use in modern tampers, (not that I have done that yet).

The only real downside is the cables. I wish they would us WiFi or Bluetooth.

This is part of Sound Transit's Link light rail. This portion runs south towards Federal Way from SEATAC in Seattle.

Thought it looked familiar, was out there in May visiting with some Dragados buddies.

It seems like the systems do the same things. I guess it's just whatever equipment you are married to 😉

You'd think Amberg would just paint their trolley green to eliminate any confusion. 😉

At InterGeo 2010 the Amberg marketing people offered to arrange a tour for me of their facility where they develop and test their tunneling systems (in their own private tunnel in the Swiss Alps) but I couldn't fit it in my schedule
