Although I’m not sure streetcars ever ran on Central Ave. in Phoenix, Arizona, this retro-looking sign is cool nonetheless.

Riding in one of San Francisco’s newest light-rail vehicles while on vacation there, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of familiarity.
San Francisco’s Muni LRVs are made by Siemens and, despite differences in door and seating configuration, are in fact the same high-floor model as the newest light-rail cars purchased by Calgary Transit. The similarities are definitely there, from the whine of the motors to the station announcement chime … and even the malfunctioning passenger information system. (Calgary Transit’s CTrain displays work but sometimes show the wrong time or station information; Muni’s displays were simply off when I rode their light-rail trains.)
The photo above shows a Muni light-rail Metro train operating on the N line, departing from Ocean Beach.

Looking out the back of a train in Salzburgen, Germany, as it speeds toward Hamburg. This is from my trip to Europe in August 2014.

Via Rail’s Canadian in Jasper National Park. The view is from one of the forward Skyline dome cars, looking back toward the back of the train. Snapped on my cross-Canada train trip back in April 2013.
