I'm not clear on the difference between light rail and a regular subway system. I've been on the one in Monterrey and it seems to me just a mostly elevated metro system - like Chicago. The one in Dallas uses existing railroad right-of-way and has downtown "stations" on city streets. That would qualify it as light rail in my understanding.

The difference between "light rail" and "metro/rapid transit/subway...", is that a metro is completely grade-separated. It only takes a single level crossing to have a system demoted from subway/metro to light rail. I agree that it's a silly way to categorize transit since, as you point out, many "light rail" systems are pretty much subways.

There are some systems called "light rail" which are technically subways and some "metro" systems that are actually light rail. For example, the Chicago Yellow line is technically light rail because it has level crossings, and the Los Angeles Green line is technically a metro because it doesn't have any. It's possible this is the case with Monterrey, I'll look it up to find out, but I'm not the one deciding what is or is not light rail. I'm just using the list from Wikipedia.

christotx: I looked up the Monterrey system, and you are correct. It's technically an elevated metro since it's completely grade separated. I have removed it from the list.
