Please excuse the GPS fail towards the end.

While browsing on Loopnet and the NC Records, I came across this place called The Line. It is a mixed use shops and office building. I did a bit of looking around and found out that these have TK Elevators. My suspicions were later confirmed when I visited that these were, in fact, Evolutions!

I only got to the garage ones since the office section is supposedly private and I didn't want any trouble, but that's fine with me. The other ones were more Evolutions with 1 extra floor to serve and only go 350 FPM. I kinda prefer these anyway, because these are FAST and SMOOTH elevators. Sure the cabs are a bit boring as expected, but these are rockets! 500 FPM for 8 FLOORS! That right there makes more exciting than I was expecting. These run great and feel super smooth, albeit a bit weird feeling still for me personally, but I don't mind all that much due to it's uniqueness. It's definitely TKE's most unique MRL Traction model and I can see why these are hyped up! These are pure awesome!
