That front looks absurd.
I know they were desperate to get the Amtrak logo on there somewhere, but this is NOT the way.
Anyway, I love it.

Could we please take a moment to appreciate the old amtrak posters
The metroliner has to be the best one in my opinion, they're all great though!
I also like the Florida, East and Southwest Chief Posters

Misty Morning at Christiana, PA.
It was a retro 1970s moment at Christiana, Pennsylvania, when I made these coming and going views of Amtrak Keystone train 648. The Conrail caboose to the right of the train is former Erie Lackawanna that was painted in an usual variation of COnrail blue at Erie’s Meadville, Pennsyvlania shops in 1976. The cab car is one of the former PRR/Penn Central self-propelled Metroliner cars developed by…

I leik trainz :3
Also here are more
All of these (Except the K4) are Electric (although the K4 is running underwire) these all use either AC overhead power or DC third rail (and in the Case of several are Capable of switching between the Two)
Actually no wait the Illinois Central multiple units use 1500V DC overhead power not 12kV 25Hz AC like Pennsy and New Haven did
Train :3

Ex-Metroliner Pearl has increasingly grown into a goldmine for terrible jokes and character development. Wasn’t “born yesterday”, she just had her memory wiped due to a computer error at some point in the Penn Central fiasco and doesn’t remember what a shitshow 60s-70s era US passenger rail actually is. Totally lost with engines because she used to be a dysfunctional EMU and wasn’t involved with them much before. May have “sucked the windows out of a passing train at speed”. The idea of her having “Disney Princess dropped in the gritty real world” energy cracks me up and explains so much.
Also means she’d need a fun bolder makeup design to reflect how the ex-Metroliner cab cars had hazard stripes put on their ends (but I’d do something prettier than yellow and black). Being a cab car also means she’s a literal backseat driver (we’ll do this over mind control but mark my words- I WILL do an all-out train psychic battle based on remote control stuff eventually because basically all the electric/diesel engines+ some others would be capable of it)
#penn central’s organization and computer issues were an absolute spectacular mess. They totally lost trains repeatedly.#Yards sent them to laughably wrong cities because they thought harrisburg=pittsburgh.#Bankrupted a bunch of potato farmers after losing their whole harvest#between that and beinf rebuilt it’s a convenient excuse for pearl to forget everything#the only reason metroliner pearl turns into a canon divergent thing is that they were notably NOT steam heated so lol right in the socket#i think being sold a certain idea of romance by media that she’s actually not compatible with is way more interesting though#she is very much not of the era most train songs are about. Just physically and personality-wise would not enjoy it

The bizarre London 'ghost bus' that only has one stop - and only goes once a week | UK | News News Buzz
Sometimes you’ll be waiting for a bus and two will arrive at the same time, but this will happen never to anyone wanting to ride a unique route in London. Every Wednesday morning at 11.17am the bus leaves West Ealing Station and makes its way to West Ruislip. It does not stop anywhere on the way and is nicknamed the “ghost bus” because it often runs without any passengers on board. And it only…

I somehow overlooked that Metroliner units were operating as recently as 2006.
I always just sort of thought of them in the past tense.
I like them, it's odd to me seeing what look like Amfleets with pantographs and no locomotive, but I dig it! :D

blue lock random headcanons_1
including: rin, shidou, nagi, bachira, sae, otoya, karasu
Rin is the kind of guy who' favourite pocky is still the strawberry one, but would never admit it. If he can choose, he always goes for the dark chocolate ones because he simply would cringe from the strawberry. And it also reminds him of Sae, for they always shared one pack of strawberry pockys after winter trainings (when there was no icecream).
Shidou is the kind of guy who randomly chooses a metroline in Tokyo (there are pretty much of them) and travels across the city in the middle of the night. Sometimes he listens to music with earphones, and sometimes he just stares out of his head, thinking.
Nagi is the kind of guy who would be admired by all the cats he ever meets. Nobody knows why, he just drawns them like a magnet. He's actually pretty good with animals, although looking after one would still be mendokusai to him.
Bachira is the kind of guy who loves to sing and actually has a good singing voice. Lullaby, anime opening, old rock what his mother listens to sometimes - it doesn't matter for him until it has a tune. He loves to sing under the shower too, which is strange to the others at first, but as time passes they get used to it, even grow to like it and sing along.
Sae is the kind of guy who chose the upper bunk bed in the dorm, cause it was the closest to the window. Tokyo is 7 hours later than Spain, so every time Sae goes to sleep, he watches the same moon that Rin saw already. He hasn't once forgot to think about this.
Otoya is the kind of guy who openly enjoys historical movies with ninjas in it. When he was a child, he even tried to copy those acrobatical movements, which helped a lot in improving his random ball touches.
Karasu is the kind of guy who actually enjoys chemistry. He loves that he is able to understand that witchcraft and that people usually don't see him as someone who's more than just a "dumb soccer player". He enjoys to surprise them with some chemical formulas of food ingredients and stuff like that.
