STREETCARS IN NEW ORLEANS: BETWEEN DECORATION AND TRANSIT

 * Post author By Meirk
 * Post date July 15, 2024
 * 4 Comments on Streetcars in New Orleans: Between Decoration and Transit

Prior to introducing our subject today, let me first inform you that this draft
had been incubating for an unacceptably long time. While working on this post
during several different periods of time spanning a long period of time, I’ve
felt many different feelings, from excitement, to curiosity, to dread, to
indifference, but none of […]

SPECIAL: SHORELINE TROLLEY MUSEUM

 * No Comments on Special: Shoreline Trolley Museum

Welcome back… I guess. Neither of us were really able to write for a while, and
nor were we inspired. For now, here’s a report on the Shoreline Trolley Museum
in East Haven Connecticut, which I visited on July 16th of this year. I am aware
that there’s not much of “this year” left, and […]

BOSTON TROLLEYBUSES: PART 2 – BSRA FAREWELL FANTRIP

 * Post author By Aaron
 * Post date March 12, 2022
 * No Comments on Boston Trolleybuses: Part 2 – BSRA Farewell Fantrip

Collage of various pictures taken. (own image)

As you know by now, the MBTA’s long running trackless trolleys are being retired
at the end of service on March 12th. The Boston Street Railway Association,
essentially Boston’s top railfan organization, organized a Farewell to the
Trackless Trolleys fantrip on February 19th, and I attended, so now Meirk wants
me to give a retelling […]

 * 1 Comment on Boston Trolleybuses: Part 1 – Photographic Documentation

Collage of various pictures taken. (own image)

Since the trolleybus system of Boston is shutting down today, we wanted to pay
it homage in the form of two articles, this one containing a boatload of
pictures mostly taken by me, mostly as I walked the system on February 23rd,
2022. The pictures will be provided as we walked (chronologically), and not
exactly […]

MISC: PETITION TO SAVE TROLLEYBUSES IN BOSTON

 * Post author By Meirk
 * Post date February 7, 2022
 * No Comments on Misc: Petition to Save Trolleybuses in Boston

I apologise for the quick and informal, I would like to forward this petition
about saving the trolleybuses in Boston, the MBTA has planned to close the
system within the coming months, and have only recently announced that it will
be in March. From what I know the general opinion about this closure has been
[…]

Prologue Well, here we are back in Philadelphia, now for the final time. To
finish out Philadelphia and in fact the Northeast in general (of the “first gen
systems”), here’s the Septa Subway-Surface lines, in which we’re including the
15 – Girard Avenue line. This is a huge and rather disorganized system, so get
ready […]

TRIP: AARON DRAGGED ME ON GATRA

 * Post date August 27, 2021
 * No Comments on Trip: Aaron dragged me on GATRA

So, my friend Aaron, aka aquaticpotato3677, happens to be a bus nerd,
specifically the kind of person who likes exotic services. So, on the 12th of
August, he decided to drag me to spend a day on GATRA, a rural bus operator on
southern Massachusetts. The goal: ride every one of GATRA’s “Go” services, which

SPECIAL: NEW YORK MUSEUM OF TRANSPORTATION

 * 1 Comment on Special: New York Museum of Transportation

Prologue Recently I was passing by the New York Museum of Transportation, and
since our current policy on museums is “only if you visited”, because they’re
often poorly documented online (which is not the case here), it was barely a
question that I should make a visit. Unfortunately, my visit was fairly short. I
needed […]

SOUTH SHORE LINE: THE INTERURBAN THAT REFUSED TO DIE

 * No Comments on South Shore Line: The Interurban That Refused to Die

City in 2006, note those intense pantographs. (Jeremy J. Schrader via Wikimedia

Prologue The South Shore Line is a electric railroad that runs a single service
from Downtown Chicago through northwest Indiana, serving highly industrialized
areas, and eventually cornfields and sand dunes, as it approaches its terminus
in South Bend. Its unique characteristics often give it the nickname “America’s
Last Interurban” among railfans. Overview The system is […]

Prologue Our next stop brings us back to Philadelphia and the Norristown High
Speed Line, one of the most unique lines that qualify to be written about on
this blog, which mixes multiple modes together in a special way and was one of
the highest quality interurbans of the 1900s. The line still exists today, […]
