photo by stopthegears, via Flickr Now arriving…well, never. The above shot was taken in the Cincinnati subway project that was halted in 1925 after funds ran dry. Two miles of the line remain under downtown Cincy — including three stations, one of which is shown above. Here’s a very good [continue reading]
photo by Eamonn O’Brien-Strain, via Flickr I love this photograph. The light rail line in Salt Lake City may not be the central image, but it’s an important part of the composition — a diagonal line to counter the diagonals of the building’s darkened windows that run in a different [continue reading]

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]

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]
