For you rapid transit buffs: Which line is the most scenic?

My vote is the Expo Line from downtown Vancouver, BC from downtown out to Surrey on a sunny spring day - once you get out of the subway the view from the elevated portion (which is most of it) to the north is snow capped mountains the whole way. And crossing the Fraser River on that high bridge is also something to experience.
 
That time lapsed sped up video was neat ! At first I thought it was a high speed amusement park roller coaster cab view...Warp Speed, Rediculous Speed, Ludicrous Speed...do not ever, ever touch that button...I think they went right to plad ! (Spaceballs movie)

It probably is the 501 Queen streetcar in Toronto. Yes, is is a streetcar line but for part of the route it runs on a ROW. The 501 passes through the beaches,Downtown, Chinatown, The Queensway (beside High Park) and the village of Mimico.
