TRAX (light rail)
TRAX is a light rail system in the Salt Lake Valley of Utah, in the United States, serving Salt Lake City and many of its suburbs throughout Salt Lake County. Its full official name is Transit Express, though this name is very rarely used. The system is operated by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA). All TRAX trains are powered by overhead electrical wires.
As of 2013 TRAX has three lines in service. The Blue Line provides service from Downtown Salt Lake City to Draper. The Red Line provides service from the University of Utah to the Daybreak Community of South Jordan. The Green Line provides service from Salt Lake City International Airport to West Valley City.
All of UTA's TRAX and FrontRunner trains and stations, streetcars and streetcar stops, and all fixed route buses are compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act and are therefore accessible to those with disabilities. Signage at the stations, on the passenger platforms, and on the trains and streetcars clearly indicate accessibility options. Ramps on the passenger platform and assistance from the train operator may be necessary for wheelchair boarding on Blue Line trains. These ramps are not used on the Red or Green lines. In accordance with the Utah Clean Air Act and UTA ordinance, "smoking is prohibited on UTA vehicles as well as UTA bus stops, TRAX stations, and FrontRunner stations".

It Works
by: AlabamaHe rattles his glass, she jumps up fast
And pours him a glass of tea
Deep in her heart she believes
That's the way it should be
Yeah, and I've seen my dad get fightin' mad
Over one little four-letter word
He'll tell you fast you don't talk
Like that around her
We may not see it the way they see it
We may not do it the way they do it
But she lives her life for him, he'd gladly die for her
And even in this modern age, it works
Though he's been down in his back
He still jumps out of that sack every mornin' at 5 a.m.
Havin' her home with the kids
Has been worth it to him
Yeah, and she takes pride in bein' his wife
And making their house a home
And sometimes she wishes the world
Would just leave them alone
We may not see it the way they see it
We may not do it the way they do it
But she lives her life for him, he'd gladly die for her
And even in this modern age, it works
If the good Lord's willin'
There will come a day
When our children will say
We may not see it the way they see it
We may not do it the way they do it
But she lives her life for him, he'd gladly die for her
And even in this modern age, it works
