Last year, @Aubrie and I rode the New York City Subway. Now, you get to experience a video about how it went.

Please forgive a Youtube link, but this is the best Autism ASMR video I've ever seen in my life:
"Building a Cat-Sized Lego Train":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3CnDXh7hH0
It's a motorized Lego train for cats, complete with lighting signals, and custom 3D-printed parts for the special wheels

Radisson

#MonochromeMarch #trains
#montreal #subway #monochrome #blackandwhite #photography
Zine permission granted

Black and white photograph of an underground metro station taken from a footbridge above the tracks. The photo is symmetrical, with the double rails in the center disappearing beneath a concrete arch structure, the boarding platforms, concrete walls and stairs on either side, and a cathedral-like ceiling from which cylindrical lights are suspended. The station name "Radisson" appears on the walls on either side.

Photographie noir et blanc d'une station de métro souterraine prise à partir d'une passerelle au-dessus des rails. La photo est symétrique avec les doubles rails en plein centre qui dispaissent sous une structure en arche en béton, les quais d'embarquement, les murs et les escaliers en béton de chaque côté et le plafond avec un effet cathédrale où sont suspendues des lumières cylindriques. Le nom de la station "Radisson" apparaît sur les murs de chaque côté.

Spotted the new light rail on the I-90 floating bridge over Lake Washington heading to Bellevue recently; it's called the East Link Light Rail, connecting Seattle to the Redmond Technical Center, operated by Sound Transit.
The snow covered Mount Rainier / Tahoma provided an awesome backdrop to this picturesque scene in the early evening.

The digital rights of my round-Australia rail book Heading South have recently reverted to me, so now I can make some decent royalties from ebook sales!

That's of no interest to you, however - you just want to know if it's a good read. To that I say yes! Here's the blurb:

"Freelance travel writer and Lonely Planet guidebook contributor Tim Richards decides to shake up his life by taking an epic rail journey across Australia. Jumping aboard iconic trains like the Indian Pacific, Overland and Spirit of Queensland, he covers over 7,000 kilometres, from the tropics to the desert and from big cities to ghost towns. Tim’s journey is one of classic travel highs and lows: floods, cancellations, extraordinary landscapes and forays into personal and public histories – as well as the steady joy of random strangers encountered along the way."

You can find out more and buy the ebook at the following links:

Kindle AU: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0H25VSGR3
Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/au/en/ebook/heading-south-9
Apple Books: https://books.apple.com/au/book/heading-south/id6770431038

Enjoy!

Place d'Armes

#trains #montreal #subway #urban #monochrome #blackandwhite #photography

A black and white photograph of an underground subway station shows the boarding platform opposite the photographer, with three pillars covered in small square ceramic tiles. The spaces between them are enclosed by two iron railings with patterns of circles and squares. The same small square tiles are repeated on the surrounding walls. Behind the pillars, the side of a staircase creates a diagonal line. To the right, the bottom of the staircase is seen from the front, with an advertising panel on the wall above. To the left, a man waits, his head turned to the right, holding a soccer ball in his left hand and a water bottle in his right. He is dressed in white sneakers, black pants and a black t-shirt, and a pale, geometric-patterned short-sleeved shirt. Rectangular fluorescent lights illuminate the scene from above.

Photographie noir et blanc d'une station de métro souterraine, montrant le quai d'embarquement à l'opposé de la photographe, montrant trois piliers recouverts de petites céramiques carrées, les espaces entre eux fermés par deux clôtures en fer avec des motifs de cercles et de carrés. Les mêmes petites tuiles carrées se répètent sur les murs autour. Derrière les piliers, le côté d'un escalier crée une ligne oblique. À droite, le bas de l'escalier vu de face, avec un panneau publicitaire sur le mur au-dessus. À gauche, un homme attend, la tête tournée vers la droite, un ballon de soccer dans sa main gauche et une bouteille d'eau dans la droite, habillé de baskets blanches, d'un pantalon et un t-shirt noirs, et d'une chemise à manches courtes pâle aux motifs géométriques. Des lampes fluorescentes rectangulaires éclairent la scène d'en haut.

News made for mastodon! Some Dutch #trains slowed down this week & eventually were stopped because multiple kittens & mother were walking on or too close to the tracks. Once stopped, cages were placed & the #cats have now been collected. The traindriver who called in the problem says that if no owner can be found he'd like to adopt the felines. Your translator will make sense of: https://nos.nl/artikel/2624400-treinverkeer-stilgelegd-om-poezen-van-het-spoor-te-redden-in-drenthe /cc @catsalad

Can't promise this will turn into anything, but it's been sitting in my brain for several years, so posting in part, for self-motivation.

Je rêvais de faire cette photo depuis des mois, mais je n'ai pas laissé la canicule me dissuader de sortir. Le secret ? Se lever tôt. Sans la canicule qui m'a obligé à revoir mes plans, je serais arrivé plus tard, et j'aurais alors raté ce train.
