One of our favorite pieces of artwork depicting a part of our grand rail system is featured here on the cover of a promotional pamphlet full of activities and information for people visiting New York courtesy of us. The New York Central Building was our headquarters until the bitter end, and it is rendered beautifully here dominating park avenue. It is (illegitimately) called The Helmsley Building today. On the table of contents a banner image containing the New York Central Mercury, a streamlined 4-6-2 introduced in 1936.

I definitely believe that the US should improve it's infrastructure and public transportation, but also we should bring back Streamliner Trains. Because come on, look at these things.

This is the Mercury that was in service from 1936 - 1959. But god damn, imagine seeing this thing pull up in the station.

Even the Zephyrs, despite not having the most out there design compared to others look incredible! Like... we should go back to this. Make cool as fuck trains because they rule and are actually super beneficial to the climate, infrastructure, and public transportation.

Sometimes I question my autism diagnosis because my experience isn't entirely in line with those of other autistic people's and then I go to my job at the train museum and take one quick glance at a photo in a box of archival images and immediately and correctly identify a specific GG1 locomotive from the shape of the nose around the headlight
