The good news, according to RVP photographer Will Austin, is that the waits to ride the new light rail trains are only about 30 minutes, which is a lot less than the hour-and-a-half they were told to expect.
The bad news is that Will and seven-year old son Zane had a scary experience a little more than an hour ago when they were trapped in a Beacon Hill elevator for nearly 10 minutes.
“The front door was about two inches open and wouldn’t close,” he said.
When they did, “I almost got my fingers smashed,” he said. “It was wild.”
The elevator is one of four that take passengers 160-feet down to the tunneled station.
While there was no elevator attendant available, luckily the station architect was there and managed to guide them out to safety.
Look for Will’s exclusive video to be published here soon!
