Have you ever given any thought to what kind of sidewalk you might be strolling on back in 1925 in the Dunbar neighbourhood? This shot of Convent of the Sacred Heart (now St. George's School) might give you a clue!

Unable to clear the road, disabled streetcars proved a headache for traffic and Key System dispatchers alike.
Often, wrecker #1011 and tool car #1014 were sent to rescue stranded cars, such as this incident in Downtown Oakland.
Today, both #1011 and #1014 are preserved by us!

A bit of a late post, but I worked with @transitmuseumbc to design a souvenir mug for their 2024 Christmas Lights Tour featuring their latest acquisition, a 1996 New Flyer Industries D40LF in a @bctransit livery.

#ObjectSpotlight on this #NYTMCollection 1/9 train signage and map. The 9 train was introduced in 1989 to allow skip-stop service on the Broadway–Seventh Avenue Local Line during weekday daytime hours, but it was discontinued 16 years later. Did you ride the 9 train?
