Ran into [REDACTED] on le REM

Cables run into neat utility cabinets for power, fire, comms

This feels more driven by open station layout than cost, but also feels way more pragmatic than running everything really far to some utility closet all the way on the other side of the station

Also worth noting how REM has elegantly they're able to declutter overhead cable runs by consolidating everything into neat utility conduits combined with lighting

This is easy when you're doing greenfield construction and major station rebuild projects but I feel like you can also plan this

I'm just noticing all the REM stations actually don't have central HVAC — they're fully enclosed but costs seem to be kept simple with fans for circulation, radiant heaters for warmth, and louvers and louvered windows for passive circulation

If I haven't said it before, the stations are beautifully simple with high quality finishes

Some signage including elevator screens on these Otis elevators on REM

Fun random transit facility things at Deux-Montagnes aujourd'hui

Allons-y ! À Deux-Montagnes 🥹

Just found a Navilens code at Bonaventure station and it simply says...

Oh if the state of these flags isn't an apt metaphor for the state of America and this Six Flags 🫣🫠

The state of Six Flags America right now in one photo

I mean the Caltrans and IDOT equipment both have those blunted noses to accommodate a destination sign on either end of the trainset

The San Joaquin livery on the cab car www.reddit.com/r/Amtrak/s/M... and the mismatch on the IDOT loco seems to truly be the most egregious part

Spotted the Cascades trainset in the Philly yard

My first time seeing a Siemens Venture cab car in person

Are anticlimbers between cars on open gangway trainsets typically this chonky?

The TTC Rocket doesn't have these as far as I could see

Is this required because of how far apart the cars are on R211 for tight curves?

Does anyone know what this device on the R211T is?

There's two in each car on the bench opposite the yellow priority seating area and there's a ladder sticker at this door

Absolutely epic atmosphere in Queens this evening

The image above is facing the center section (mocked in the farthest section)

Here's another view from inside the truck section and facing forward to the cab respectively — tbh the CAF truck section seating arrangement you're sharing still looks better than what got presented in our mockup

Our Green Line Type 10s will be localized variants of CAF's Urbos LRVs... When I see these elsewhere, I'm constantly left wondering how we landed ourselves with such an insane center & front section seating config... Did we tell CAF 'latitudinal seating only'?!

Can we add flex posts or something here at Medford St on N Washington St @boston.gov @streets.boston.gov?

There are constantly drivers making illegal lefts like this car, rushing against oncoming traffic, often dashing in front of my 111 bus as fellow riders & I are trying to cross Medford St

Just Randy and Phil hanging out chatting transit like you do 🤝

Some golden hour train level adjustment for your enjoyment

People casually working on their laptops and phones is such a lovely indicator species of good safety and comfort on a transit system

Immaculate California train vibes this evening 🌅
