There's a stairway to heaven and a highway to hell, but the midnight train goes anywhere. Trains are clearly the superior transit method.

Waow, I've finally become a real Tumbler

Orange Line to Ford City just so it's easier to see how dead that mall is (and then secretly it actually ends closer to Richard J. Daley College)

Merge the Yellow & Red Lines, meaning that all Red Line trains are only four cars long

Green Line Branch Maze

Spiral Line

Just kidding, the Orange Line only gets as close as the AMC and then swerves back towards the Tootsie Roll Factory. Get out and walk if you want to go to Costco

Circle Line (it just runs around the loop endlessly)

Mail Tunnels 2

Draisine Lanes

Pink Line Extension to the Morton Arboretum (the Blue Line will never take it back)

Outer Circle Line (It's a Street Bigger than the loop)

Thinking about what I would do if I could make a transit ballot measure in Chicago

What the heck

I literally just got one of these a few days ago because my art supplies were slowly disintegrating my previous bag

Hey real quick, do you want to see how many art supplies I can fit in a pencil pouch?

Riding the Amtrak for the first time in 25+ years.

It’s incredible.

It’s comfortable and the views are amazing. I can walk around and go potty whenever I need to. There’s no WiFi but there’s outlets. Honestly I haven’t even used my switch that much because I’m just looking outside. The Rocky Mountains in fall??? Absolutely lovely.

Chicago is home to many famous landmarks, among which is this traffic cone that's been sitting on an inaccessible ledge for over a decade

Deleted a c somewhere, sorry if spelling a few words becomes temporarily omplicated

Did the wizards frown upon the 2015 addition to Lab School

Considering some urban fantasy implications for a project,

What if I just put a magical university underneath UChicago

Both have abandoned transportation tunnels to explore, so it's a tough decision

Within the next year, I will most likely be living in either Chicago, or Cincinnati depending on how things go

Due to the recent URL change of one train person, I see no reason for my blog to exist. This account will remain for the rest of time inactive and will just stand as a reminder of a once great empire, like the ruins of Rome, they tell the story of the rise and fall of an era (the start of my train posting era)

This is AOA signing off.

ACME brand Trolley Problem

I thought the coyote stretching its paws was cute so I made a GIF of it.

if you've ever used the London Underground you might have noticed that it often gets uncomfortably hot. the reason for this is actually that its builders dug too greedily & too deep and as a result the trains are very close to the fires of hell. hope that helps.

Hey my name is Jay but most of you here know me as bluejay-in-flight 👋🏽

Things have been really stressful lately and I could really use your help... I recently just moved into a new apartment late last month, and I'm still unpacking and settling in. For a while I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to move into a stable environment that I could call my own but I'm here, I just need a little help to stay here.

While I do have a job, I just started working and have yet to get a full paycheck so that I can pay my rent. 😅 Long story short, my landlord left a notice on my door that they're going to evict me in three days if I do not pay him the rent I owe. That amount being $746. I honestly don't know what else to do with how little monetary support I have right now, which is none. 🫠

So if any of you can help me even a little bit I would greatly appreciate it! Even if a reblog is all you can give that still means more than you know 💙

Was the human the eye was from large? Or is the eye itself large? Like, 4 inches in diameter or 2 feet?

Train with one floating disembodied large human eye next to it
