Deutsche Bahn sleeping car

This is a view of the sleeping car hallway as we rolled down the track from Köln to Berlin … as seen with my smartphone camera through the peephole in the door. Shot on my travels through Europe this past September.

Arches over tracks, Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof

Here’s a view inside the train shed at Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof, in some photos taken back in September 2015. I quite like how the roof is reflected in the windshield of the train waiting at Track 21, below.

King's Cross, redux

I love this structure at King’s Cross station in London. There’s something soothing about the curvy lattice … although I couldn’t tell you why, exactly.

Old-school tram

There are a lot of shiny, modern trams plying the streets of Prague … and yet by utter fluke, the ones I captured with my cameras during my visit there this fall were all of the vintage variety. Here are two more.

Crossing the Spree

Oberbaumbrücke, which crosses the Spree River in Berlin, is a bridge for private vehicular traffic and trains to/from the Warschauer Straße station at the eastern end of the U-Bahn’s Line 1. This photo was snapped on a gorgeous afternoon this past September.

Tillikum Crossing

This striking structure is part of Tillikum Crossing, the newest bridge across the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. Opened to traffic in fall 2015, it’s reserved for use by MAX light rail Orange Line trains, Portland Streetcars, cyclists and pedestrians. It is the first bridge of this sort in the United States, according to TriMet.
