🚇 NYC's R46 subway cars are retiring after 50 years of bringing strangers awkwardly close together! These icons of perpendicular seating taught New Yorkers the art of pretending not to make eye contact since the 70s. The new R211s promise wider seats but less forced socializing. End of an era! #NYCSubway #TransitHistory

Prepping for talk on the history of transit in Baltimore for a group at the Maryland Transit Administration so I put together this giant sheet combining several existing timelines from the MTA and Federal Transit Administration https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TaXSEl4LdkLD5rijmURlFNvmdDxYmCscjJPHfuVMFX8/edit?usp=sharing
Feedback and suggestions welcome! My WIP slides are also available https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1OzXF56XNOWBwgIRQqy3EXwHnDQkhl4KB4K66hj0FCfY/edit?usp=sharing

Today, the HistoricNYC account on Instagram posted a stunning photo from the top of the Flatiron Building, showing old streetcar tracks that ran in front of the building. I posted an excerpt from one of my transit maps in progress from the same perspective and offered a brief history of these streetcar lines.

On this day in 1920, the San Francisco Municipal Railway expanded K Ingleside streetcar service by adding four outbound late night runs departing from the Ferries as late as 2:33 a.m. and operating through the Twin Peaks Tunnel. Wouldn't it be nice to have late night service in the Twin Peaks Tunnel now...
