The DFW Airtrans has rarely been documented on video. Even more rare/non-existent is video of the American Airlines branding of their portion of what surely was the most complex and sprawling Automated People Mover system anywhere. It is one of the earliest as well, and of a design that was never used again, save a trio of lines built later, in Japan. The Airtrans served the public until 2005 when a more conventional system superseded it. For context I left in what happened before and after my 1993 on the Traam.
As a preamble I included relevant scenes from a 1972 promo film for the airport. It was, coincidentally, uploaded by the airport authority just four days prior to my completion of this video (it was on Facebook but not KZfaq). The original, poorly labelled tape was in my closet as unknown forces drew me to it on a cold day in January 2024, stuck at home. Enjoy.
