  5 4 After normal run time, they often use the light rail cars to bring horses from the Port of Seattle to Emerald Downs racetrack in Auburn. Metro attendants try to sweep out the cars before service resumes at 5am, but often there is hay under the seats.

  2 1 It's public transportation. The bus smells the same way sometimes. Such is life. freikja answered in Public Transportation 9 months ago | Report 5 comments by scortes, freikja, and scortes… 0 0 Yeah - I've taken public transit almost exclusively my entire life in many cities, but this is a distinct and strong aroma - wondering if they use lightrail to actually transport horse cops?? hah I have no idea : ) scortes commented 9 months ago | Report 0 0 Nah, l highly doubt it. I mean, horses are already a form of transportation, and it's not likely you'll see them in Columbia City. Maybe someone who works regularly with horses and has the same schedule you do? freikja commented 9 months ago | Report 0 0 I board at the Westlake Station - I can't be the only one that's noticed this! scortes commented 9 months ago | Report 0 0 Yeah, it's a pretty specific odor. But l haven't ridden the train in quite a while, so l haven't noticed it. That would suck if the train ride lasts any major length of time. freikja commented 9 months ago | Report 0 0 The smell is really strong when I get on at Westlake and by the time I get past Sodo I either have stopped smelling it or it's been aired out. It's not awful, I've definitely had worse on the bus on a rainy day.. but I thought there had to be a story behind it.. scortes commented 9 months ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 0 I've wondered the same thing... It's almost a leather lime smell. But it's not every train. Weird. I'll ask my boyfriend. ballardgirl answered in Public Transportation 9 months ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.
