Happy Friday! I haven’t done any kind of train/transit video in a very long time … so here you are. This is a mix of original (MR-63), vintage (MR-73) and modern (MPM-10) rolling stock running on the Montreal métro, as captured at a few stations last month.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Sometimes, things just line up as they should. Spotted at the Calgary airport the other day: A Bombardier Q400 in the foreground in legacy Air Canada livery, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner behind it in new Air Canada paint, and the skyline of downtown Calgary between their tail fins.

Paris, France

There are people everywhere who don’t read important signs … like whoever drove into this one. This photo’s from Paris in September 2012.

The end of the line near Fisherman’s Wharf for the Powell Street cable car in San Francisco. Snapped this on a visit about two years ago.
