2016/2017 Schindler 5500 MRL Traction Elevators at Capitol Towers North Tower (Charlotte, NC)

Here we got some more early 5500's. Again, while the other tower had 400AE's, this tower had no choice but to go with 5500's since it was built a few years later after the first tower since 400AE's were no more past 2015.

This elevator looks identical to the South Tower, sporting EPCO Singapore buttons and brass cabs, but with some differences. Those differences include the button layout, the rare "Australian" voice (although rather quiet), the Lanterns, the generic CE Indicators, and the Surface Mount Call Panels. These are pretty smooth and really cool!
