as a railfan and a studying urban planner i’m conflicted between “keep the old and cool stuff in service cuz it’s cool” and the sane rational person opinion “hey transit shouldn’t need to do this” and “maybe the fact equipment newer then all of metra’s rollingstock is in museums is bad actually.”

Turning an SD70MACH into a passenger train is hilarious and also a sign of the state of passenger rail manufacturing in the US #metra #train #trains #transit

It’s been a hot minute, but I’ll throw another one of my favorites on here.

A dark scene looking towards a window on board a train. There are glow-in-the-dark emergency exit stickers, the largest of which shows the word "farts" glowing brightly
