Got some cool train pics while traveling this weekend!

First time riding NJT, on the Atlantic City Line! Loving the reversible seats, NJT in 2045 while we're all in like, 1975 lmfao

No reason for this post, just a tribute to my handsome kitty, Wolverine aka "The Cat"

also just a head's up, if anyone here follows me from Tiktok, I got a new phone and it turns out that it cannot be downloaded so I'm a little stuck without it lmao

man I missed Philly so much. it's so nice to be back around all of the train and bus routes I love.

I think part of what I like about riding transit is that I get a chance to be nice to people. I just like being nice to people man

always a good day when I get to ride a train. Heading into Philly for an overnight!

so I knew Congestion Pricing was going to result in an improvement but I'm absolutely floored by how good it's actually been

always catching high speed trains on my walk to / from the gym

man I am itching for a little trip to a weird small town that has small city vibes with cool little bars and weird buses to ride

Remember this? Paris is getting a whole new Metro network. It’s huge. And built fast. “The venerable #Paris Métro is about to get its most significant upgrade in decades with the arrival of the Grand Paris Express, a new 200km system with 4 new lines & 68 new stations.” www.cnn.com/travel/paris...

so I really want to get an e-ink tablet, specifically one with a pen tool that will allow me to write in the margins of books I own and reference them back live while paging through. this is vital functionality for me. if anyone has recommendations I am here for it

definitely keep being pleasantly reaffirmed in my decision to leave Twitter. Every time I open that app I immediately regret the decision and close it

at 30th Street, heading back home on Amtrak after a lovely weekend visiting friends and riding trains + buses. Here's some more pics!

I rode PATCO over the bridge! Next up for tonight is the L, and then in the morning the NHSL, or M line!

yo when did cell service start working in the PATCO tunnel though

One of my favorite metro lines in the US. PATCO is superb

Made it to Philly 😎
