On my way to get some sunset shots over the water when I noticed the sun reflecting off the tracks, figured I should stop for a photo opp like that!

Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe #1534 - 1917 Lounge/Crew Dormitory
"Railroads often adapted older passenger equipment for new uses. Some cars went through three or four configurations during their service lives.
In the pre-streamlined era, the Santa Fe operated a fleet of famous Chicago-California trains, such as the "Chief," the "Scout," and the "De-Luxe." Six older heavyweight standard passenger coaches were rebuilt in the railroad's own shops, each with a lounge area at one end and open sections at the other. During the day, the section's seats were open to passengers enjoying a drink or snack from the lounge; at night, the berths were used by crewmen, who typically worked the entire trip between the Midwest to the West Coast.
ATSF 1534 was retired in 1960, and initially went to a Missouri museum. That museum donated the car to IRM in 1969. The car occasionally operates, but is still under restoration. It is the only surviving car of this type.

Fourth shot of the B&W set from a trip to San Francisco on May 2008. Typical sloping street with cable car rails. Behind me the rails stop at Market Street where the operators manually make the cars turn around to go back the other way!
Quatrième photo du set N&B d'un séjour à San Francisco en Mai 2008. Rue en pente typique avec les rails du ""cable car". Derrière moi les rails s'arrêtent à Market Street où les opérateurs font manuellement tourner les voitures pour repartir dans l'autre sens!
San Francisco CA, USA.
This just over 1 hour flight from San Francisco International Airport (KSFO) to San Diego International Airport (KSAN) requires nothing more than a Canadair CRJ-200 today.
Seen departing KSFO with Southwest flights all around, this plane will and at KSAN in 1h and 14m.

Taken from a crop of the previous larger frame, this image is just the minimal view of the rails used by the "Light Rail" system in downtown Phoenix. The routes share major city streets. This image was taken in early morning, but the tall buildings cast strong shadows. I don't know the composition of the filler for the roadway between the rails but it must be smooth and sturdy enough to bear the load of cars and trucks. View large to see some of the subtle detail in this color image: it's not a monochrome view.
The dashboard shows off many of the changes to the system the best. The highlights include:
- No more spaces listed as the top tab.
- We removed that because we either have people assigned to one site or a gazillion sites. You can now use the 'Choose Site' to navigate to other sites a user has access to.
- It's now called 'Files' rather then 'Resources'
- Users and settings, lesser used features, are pushed to the far right No more avatar
On the dashboard itself there are some changes:
The 'Activity Log' which shows activity from across all the admin side of your site If you have a blog you can quickly get to it.

Abandoned rails, Georgetown.
Shot hand-held with a Sony NEX7 and the SEL1018 ultra wide zoom.
The streets of Georgetown are largely paved with setts -- often mistakenly referred to as 'cobblestone' -- sett stones are quarried and shaped to form a more even roadway, and are a more 'modern' method -- but still as old as Roman roads. Sometimes described as 'Belgian blocks'.
The rails are long abandoned, and in some instances recently returned for appearance's sake.
