frustrated at the city for not prioritizing the planned toronto infill stations built on the GO lines, and even more frustrated at the incompetent province+metrolinx for being wholly incapable at delivering GO expansion.

the oldest city in nebraska lies on a grid of numbered streets, avenues, and… corsos. (corsi?)
what's more, the corsos are interrupted by a diagonal grid of numbered terraces and rues.

opinions have been thoroughly voiced, so i'll just say that it's time for a zero-tolerance policy on skeuomorphism, gradients, and swooshy curves not dictated by some underlying functional form. you can convince me that any of these *can* be done well, but you can't convince me it's worth it
Today we're unveiling our eighth locomotive in Metro-North’s Heritage Series—a moving tribute to our nation’s veterans.
Created and designed by Metro-North veterans, this locomotive embodies gratitude to those who have worn the uniform, both within the Metro-North family and across the country.

my latest personal project has been drawing up a fictitious transit system for guayaquil, ecuador's most populous city
i was inspired to create tren guayas from the quito metro, which opened in 2023. time for ecuador's other big city to start thinking about mass transit beyond BRT!

Forget hydrogen or batteries. Just electrify trains like the rest of the world, with simple overhead line that allows efficient engines to pull power direct from source.
Congrats to @caltrain.com, where newly electrified trains are delivering vastly improved service - and rave reviews!
