Two 'L' trains pass at dusk over Wabash Avenue in Chicago's Loop. Ridership on the 'L' system, having been down by 80% during the pandemic, is starting to slowly pick up again now that the city has moved to Phase 4 of its reopening plan. Thanks for viewing! Take good care, friends, and travel safely on life's journey.

One of San Francisco’s historic streetcars from different cities around the world. This streetcar is from San Diego.
The San Francisco cable cars were shut down in March of 2020 because of the pandemic. This month (August 2021), they have reopened and they are really busy with long lines. Welcome back, we missed you!
The square LED light panels hanging from the ceiling constantly change colors. The installation is called “Lucy in the Sky” by Erin Redl.
This woman has lived in the Flushing Main Street Station for several months now. Even the cops can't seem to so anything, LOL...
This is just a bus. It has no guns, it does not transform, not even a smallest piece of science equipement. But it will surely get you to your space job!
I needed a quick build inbetween more "serious" ones where I end up placing about 10 bricks in one hour, working to get some shape right. This in turn was initially done in about 3 hours and then +1 hour on redesign and applying... a trick. Can you spot something unusual on this build?

On January 26, 1974 I took many slides in the Park Street Station of the Green Line PCC cars in Boston. I didn't have the best camera and the slides don't seem to have aged well. These are the best scans I could get. Consider them documentation and not art. Hope you find them somewhat interesting.
Its only feature aside from turning wheels are opening doors which actually lead to the interior. I guess it should have an airlock but that'd be a waste of valuable space. Bring your own air, it aint free here!
The bus has no driver, but has a robot instead. The robot sits in the middle, so *both* front seats are free for taking. Yee!
I thought 4 people on a motorcyle was a wow ... although we never got the shot of 7 people on a one!

SEPTA RDCs
Reading then SEPTA had been running to Newark since the 1967 and the RDC's were the remnant of the "Wall Street". One of the Budd RDCs on this train had a lunch counter with 4 or 6 tables and served coffee and snacks in the morning coming north from Philadelphia to Newark and drinks and snacks in the evening going south.

Now a modern light rail system, I first encountered the Shaker Heights Rapid Transit running PCC cars between Cleveland and the Streetcar Suburb* of Shaker Heights.

A striking ca. 1968 depiction on behalf of/for General Electric Company (GE) by Robert McCall, of a DC-10 on approach to landing…at sunset. As such, brilliantly/dramatically highlighting the three GE CF6 engines powering the aircraft. Not to mention the spectacular environs, to include McCall’s trademark “sun ray” depiction…this time emanating from the control tower’s beacon light. Wow.
The more McCall images I come across; the more I think he created something for EVERYBODY. An excerpt from a wonderful tribute to McCall by the talented Keith Ferris reveals some that I was not aware of, and pertinent to this image:
“By the mid-1950’s, his work appeared regularly in full color national advertising campaigns for major aerospace corporations such as United Technologies, Pratt & Whitney, GE, Douglas, Boeing, and General Electric. The file is full of McCall art for airlines: TWA, Pan Am and SAS as well as art for Mobile Oil and Champion Spark Plugs.”
