Obama explains Metro trains crash as Bush legacy

Really? I think you're mistaken on that.

Quite possibly. I thought subways were considered light rail and heavy rail was mainly freight and intercity travel.

Having spent the last few days in DC, I have to admit that the Metro system puzzles me. Why spend all the money for huge tunnels and gold-plated stations and trains while leaving out a third rail? It's almost as if they initially thought it was going to be some showcase project that would never actually catch on as a mass-transit system.
