For something not the news: Amtrak Piedmont train #74 departs downtown Durham on a sunny day in late March, heading to its final stops at Cary and Raleigh, NC! TONS of passengers boarded—looked to be over 100. Happened to have my phone with me on a run and couldn’t resist watching and recording.

“Say it loud, say it clear, immigrants are welcome here!” #HandsOff Raleigh, NC. Refugees are welcome! Asylum seekers are welcome! Students who write op-eds are welcome! Down with the musk-trump takeover!

#Handsoff Raleigh! North Carolinians have HAD it! Great crowd. This shows the central portions (but not all) of the protest. Really impressive energy all around! I liked the “fire musk, save Elmo” sign. This was almost 1.5 hrs into the protest on a hot day so some had left already, too.

From last week: Paralleling the Lynx Blue Line (hello Siemens S70!) on the way out of Charlotte, NC. Amtrak Piedmont train 72, complete with seemingly improved wifi and comfy seats as always!

Was a great turnout! Glad to see people taking the time to be in community like this!

Much better vibes than other things going on: Mardi Gras celebrations in downtown Durham, NC earlier tonight! Also an example of biking serendipity because I only encountered the fun because I’d just picked up my bike from the shop and decided to bike around on a warm evening❤️

Here it is: your moment of zen. From a bit over a week ago, after we received a light snowfall here in NC and things were nice and frozenish for a bit😃 Sound up to hear the babbling creek!

Your train moment of zen for today! Piedmont 72 arriving at Durham, NC. North Carolina’s Amtrak-operated, state-run Piedmont & Carolinian services are some of the most successful in the nation, with record ridership for several years in a row. NC is looking to add a 5th Piedmont in a few years!
