^^^ Have you all seen the map of all the train tracks around downtown Chicago in the 50's that Mr. Downtown posted a while ago in the general developments thread or somewhere while we were talking about covering the tracks in Grant Park?

^Excellent. What area is that? I am assuming in Canada somewhere (based on your avatar); it is quite beautiful.
|
That is the Shuswap Lake area in the interior of British Columbia
We vacation there every summer. :) |
Dang, lucky you! BC is such a beautiful place.

Here's a couple of shots of an "El" in Woodside, Queens, New York:

^Kickin' it old-school. Any idea of the production year of that model?
|
weird... I love trains, but I have relatively few photos (except I do have lots of the MAX here in Portland.
British Columbia Vancouver Skytrain (out the window of the car) New York – LIRR in Forest Hills, Queens New York – 7 Train in Jackson Hts, Queens New York… maybe West 4th St, Manhattan Portland (not sure if the streetcar counts... probably not, but it's got rails!) Phoenix |
Great shots! I wish we had street-cars here in Chicago. It would be such a cool/bizarre/intimidating site to see a train rolling down the street.

Berlin has the hottest trains by far--great pictures, olga.
Also, that collection of trains in Kiev is serious. |
Our trains in Charlotte are small, er, "light"
