The DART Silver Line has officially gone into revenue service, drawing crowds and packed trains. So today it seems like a good time to share this piece from last February on Dallas's new rail line and its potential regional rail future.
Finally, a 1975 San Francisco Zephyr that actually feels like a 1975 San Francisco Zephyr thanks to the 3/4 dome.
Next up, more sleepers and a really unique bag-dorm.
Weathering done by @interurbanera.bsky.social, interiors and research done by myself.

Now HERE is an extra foamy railfan shot back when the SN was still under wire at West Pittsburg, Calif. in 1956.

Are you Tired? Lonely? Depressed If so, please consider and then shows an image of a model train/railroad layout with a stool, a nice chair, with some drinks and a locomotive.

In between two bits of horrible news (of course), I got to go on TV to talk about model @bart.gov trains!

Amtrak desperately needs to bring these gorgeous timetables back. (Link below)

An HO scale BART train - a sleek silver and white metro train with a pointed nose - crosses a concrete and steel bridge on a model train layout. An electrical substation and brick factories are behind it, with hills and a blue sky in the background.
