My personal favorite is the New Haven A-1 and A-3 classes that got extensively rebuilt, superheated, and had outside southern valve gear added. They look so awkward and stuck between technological eras.

I've now moved on to making "reading other Thomas Pynchon novels that aren't Gravity's Rainbow" my whole personality because you have to give it up for a guy who can write in a "Soup of the Day implies Soup of the Night" joke without missing a beat.
I'm not transcribing this verbatim but the image is a passage from Thomas Pynchon's "Inherent Vice" where he deftly inserts a joke about Soup of the Night in the middle of a passage about a woman hallucinating being a cyborg.

The local festival commemorating the invention of Marshmallow Fluff is this weekend so ONCE AGAIN I am reminding you all that a man once paid me to cover my entire body in fluff and it is one of my proudest achievements.

You really expect me to believe these two guys are up to something heterosexual in the Benz Motorwagen? Impossible.

A new part of my morning commute is watching the Northeast Regional scream by at speed a few minutes before my silly little commuter train arrives.

Anyway everyone should go to East Broad Top. It is the platonic ideal of a heritage railway and extremely worth the road trip to Hillbilly Fuck Nowhere.

Made it to Paris, currently on Ligne 1 of the Métro. The American mind simply cannot comprehend this level of rail travel.

What's up BlueSky? Since we last saw each other my fashion sense has remained stuck in 2009 and also I read Gravity's Rainbow and decided to base my entire personality on that from now on.

I'm popping back in to say that my outfit looks nice and also I'm debating quitting social media for good. I'm sick of The Algorithm, Engagement, Content, Parasocial Relationships, and the general feeling of misery and inadequacy every time I open an app.

I saw this on IG last night and I don't think people understand that part of route learning is learning the wire and all it's various quirks. I only worked for a dinky little interuban-turned-metro-system and I learned tons of little techniques like this.

This is not a great picture but one time a rental agency in Philly upgraded me to a Mustang for free and I jammed a bunch of transsexuals in it so we could road-trip to Strasburg to see some trains. Needless to say it fuckin ruled.

No, I'm sorry, if you're a so-called transit advocate who is against two person train ops you are an idiot and a class traitor. Ask any train operator (myself included) and they'll all tell you the same thing: two person ops are fundamentally safer and automation will not fix this.

see i love trains enough that i instantly know this photo was taken somewhere between 1981 and 1983 and it's in fact really sad and embarrassing that new jersey transit was still using equipment from the 1930s at a point where japan already had high speed rail for 20 years
