photo by Harold R. Senthee, via his Flickr photostream That’s an inter-city express train in the foreground and the Cologne Cathedral dominating the background in this photo that nicely marries the modern age with the Middle Ages — construction of the Cathedral began in 1248 but the building as seen [continue reading]
photo by Dan Macy, via Flickr Here’s a nice slice-of-transit-life photo from…well, go ahead and guess the city. There are abundant clues in the photo. If those don’t help, here’s another one: Police Detective McNulty once trolled these streets. The answer is after the jump. To submit a photo or [continue reading]
photo by smoovebert, via Flickr I found this photo on Flickr of one of those long, character-less hallways at Los Angeles International Airport. The image was taken in 2006 with a Pentax Optio point-and-shoot and processed with Photoshop. As I’ve written before, I define “transit” loosely for our “art of [continue reading]

The roads to Yosemite were closed for a time and Mammoth Mountain has set a snowfall record with 589 inches this ski season. [continue reading]
photo by Neil Pulling, via his Flickr photostream Nice use of color in this photo from Europe — the red train against the backdrop of the blue building. Go ahead and see if you can guess the city — there’s one obvious clue on the building that should narrow down [continue reading]
photo by Thomas F-A, via his Flickr photostream I took a look at this image on Flickr and said to myself “I bet that’s the subway in [fill in the blank]” — and then looked at the keywords to find that I was actually correct. Go ahead and take a [continue reading]
photos by Washington State Department of Transportation, via Flickr All the rain and snow in California this past weekend, led me to a search for snow plows on Flickr and these fine photos of the annual scouting trip by Washington State transportation officials to the North Cascades Highway. The road [continue reading]
photo by Harold R. Senthee, via his Flickr photostream If it looks like something out of another century, well it is. This is the famous “floating train” of Wuppertal, Germany. It was built in 1900 and is actually a monorail; the idea was to find a transit system that would [continue reading]
