toast21602 Posted March 7, 2019 Report Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) My dad sent me this picture of a train in Washington delivering an airplane fuselage. I’d assume most likely to/from Boeing. Edited March 7, 2019 by toast21602 2 Quote

Along the way, you will be spoiled with first-class service, food, drinks, and scenery as luxury meets wilderness.2. Tranzalpine - Christchurch to Greymouth, New ZealandThe only way to take in the Southern Alps of New Zealand is aboard the TranzAlpine, New Zealand’s jaw-dropping rail journey. Climb aboard and experience the South Island’s stunning natural landscape. Along this journey from Christchurch to Greymouth, you will witness epic vistas, voyage along the edges of the ice-fed Waimakariri River and wind through miles of native beech forest. The perfect stop along the way is Moana, which is set amid a remote mountain paradise midway between Arthur's Pass and Greymouth, and home to the idyllic Lake Brunner. This trip will certainly be a journey of a lifetime.3. West Highland Line - Glasgow to Mallaig, ScotlandFans of the Harry Potter movies will be departing from Platform 9 ¾ for a magical trip to the Scottish Highlands.

Glacier Express - Zermatt to St. Moritz, SwitzerlandThe Glacier Express has to be on any list of greatest train journeys in the world.

theprogram4 Posted August 10, 2019 Report Posted August 10, 2019 amazing shot but incredibly stupid to post online. i believe this is the new 2nd avenue subway. the fact that there is no graffiti what so ever shows how locked down this spot is. big props to the photogapher of the shot but most likely NYPD Transit is investigating this Quote
skifreak Posted August 22, 2019 Report Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) I was sitting in my office and noticed an oversize load drive by carrying train cars. I missed the first one but managed to snap a pic of the second one going by. They say Metropolitan Atlanta Transit Authority on them. Edited August 22, 2019 by skifreak 3 Quote
