PHOTOS From San Francisco

Posted by WMATAGMOAGH on Sat Sep 1 17:09:16 2007

For those of you who don't know, I did some extensive traveling about a month ago, and now have photos up on my website. I'll be posting some bus teasers here on this board, rail photo teasers on SubChat, and some other photos on OTChat, but you can find everything at my website, Oren's Transit Page. Additionally, if you want to see all the details of my trip, you can read my travelogue at http://www.orenstransitpage.com/amtraktrip.

The posting of photos to this board is not in the order I visited the various cities, but rather, at random. We start with San Francisco:

You must have cut and pasted from subchat because both posts have the same error.

Nice "Crayola" bus (third pic). :) I saw some of those at the Gillig plant in November 1996 (I was in the area for the USC-Stanford game), but I lost the damn roll of film! :(

OK, that would have been my guess, but I don't think I'd call changing the lights a major "redesign."

Ski racks, IINM. Customers taking the bus between skiing areas put their skis on the racks, then they board the bus to their destination, where they pick up their skis off the racks...

Very nice pics! I've been to Vancouver a couple of times and love it up there. I see they got a lot of new buses, including trackless trolleys since I was there last (2002 I think). Shit, last time I was there, or maybe the time before that in 2000, they still had a good number of fishbowls!

Funny!

It's meant to be "Sorry" -> "Not in Service". That foggy area is Simon Fraser University, which is the most northern area in Burnaby.

And yeah, it's fun to see artics either struggle climbing up the hills during winter or going very fast on downhill! I've done that during summer when I've visit there not long ago.

I do miss their New Looks! In fact, I would have wish to ride one of their "Hillclimber" when they were in service in 2001.

Great pics! I see they still have those Flyer (E800?) ETBs. I remember seeing them on an epsiode of "21 Jump Street" back in the day (that show was filmed in Vancouver) (Mmmm...Holly Robinson!) :)
