MoA

This Mall is the largest in the United States. Originally, the mall did not want the Light Rail Line on its property. It was to terminate across the street. Later wiser minds prevailed and the terminal was put in the ground level of the parking garage for the mall, making it an all weather terminal. Trains do have to make a rather sharp turn to enter the garage, and the wire is very close to the top of the cars, but it works!
