Crossing paths with the Capital MetroRail

When I was in Texas last week I was surprised to learn that Austin has its own LRT, the Capital MetroRail, that runs from Leander in the north to downtown Austin. Wikipedia tells me that's around 51km.
The service seems to me to be similar to Ontario's GO Transit, but on a much smaller scale.
At first glance, the MetroRail trains look like trains on Ottawa's Trillium line - that's one shown below at the Bayview station - but it turns out that the MetroRail trains are Stadler GTWs from Switzerland.
