Reclaimed water is used by the Miller Brewing Company in Irwindale, California to make their beer. I don't see them advertising that on the label!

Nice shots! That looks like that same stretch of road that was having all those accidents. I seem to remember a video of a pickup meeting an LRV somewhere near there.

I'd love to know what their definition of reclaimed water is. The stuff I know of is called Grey water, or maybe it was brown, meaning it's non-potable. Non-drinkable.

So I guess in 1851 the first Armadillo roadkill involving a wagon train took place.

It comes from the same place, but our reclaimed water is potable. It's just not supplied to residents for drinking water AFAIK, but that could have changed.

How long are the TRE trains, however? GO Transit (which runs very similar trains, sans workstations) runs a minimum of five-car trains.

Which buses, however...the European-built expresses (the last three of which went to the NYCTA) or the locals?

E180 has island platforms.

Anyway, a Bronx Express from 3rd Avenue to E180th is just as good. Actually, it's better than a Flushing Express substitute, since the Flushing Express still has a RFW!

Actually, the sign means University of Houston - Downtown. It's not wde enough to show the whole thing, so it displays "UH-Downtown."

Is that a rhetorical question? IIRC you were there not that long ago. I've seen your pictures at nycsubway.org.

I was just there a couple of weeks ago. I think that the bi-level TRE trains that I rode at rush hour were only 2 cars. Not to mention that they're practically free. Day passes for the commuter rail were only $4!

They did operate some of those single level trains. I saw two sets and they were both 3-cars. It looked like there were standees on at least one of those, but there were seats for everyone on the two trains that I rode. The cars on my trains were maybe 75-85% full.

Very pretty...did you manage not to hit one with your car? I heard those sorts of LRV's are a public safety hazard.

Mostly the HOV coach-like express buses, with some on the the Inner HOV articulated ones (mostly for the Southwest Freeway corridor) and a few on the locals (like me).

No, it's the idiot drivers there. It's becoming less of an occurance, apparently they're slow learners.
