just in time for pride month, happy to announce I designed the Hot Dog flag

The meal, btw

Newkirk Plaza vibes this evening

Very entertained by my choice of dinner tonight, a burrito place on Newkirk Plaza that exists here and in Miami, apparently

Subway laserdisc update: it's a copy of "Cold Turkey"

A lot of people from far away from NY with no understanding of the history of corruption rampant within the LIRR unions are starting to chime in here, and while that's typical BlueSky, please do 3 minutes of internet research on the LIRR unions before you start accusing us all of union-breaking.

In today's headlines: East Village institution Veselka is bringing back its 24/7 service starting April 17.

Isn't this WP:COI?

Absolute cinema watching that jar of Nutella escape contain behind the backs of the astronauts after packing other things away

What?

Let's go Yankees

I want to know the story behind the Laserdisc sitting in the window of the tower at 96th/Broadway

Today is Conrail day! 50 years on, I’d suggest we remember its least credited legacy: the Northeast Corridor. Without the region-wide network planning exercise that created Conrail, the NEC would still be full of freight—as it was until the 70s. Since Conrail, that feat has never been repeated.

50 years of Big Blue

At Smith and Wollensky's for a birthday dinner tonight with my parents, and in true New York fashion, the bread basket includes matzo

I like that we've reached the KSP part of the stream, and it runs just about as good too

www.parisselectbook.com/en/2026/03/2... so this is just totally incorrect lol? WMATA and BART both go above 70 MPH (I have pics of a WMATA 3K with 73 on the speedometer)

Seattle's new Crosslake Connection is a feat of engineering and was a huge hit on Day 1! Of course we were there to ride the first train and review the new stations! youtu.be/TOCezQrUGpk

Birthday Arrows as a welcome home gift

Score!

4h19m flight time from SEA to EWR tonight 😮

Until next time, Seattle!

Quick detour before the airport so I can now say I've ridden all of Link (including Tacoma!)...at least for now

Dick's for dinner before I have to head to the airport

Lenin and Troll

Connections Museum time!

10:50 PM at Lynnwood and a 4 car train full of Mariners fans comes in - this region really has a strong transit culture I can't say I've seen in many other places in the US

Some people say overhead wires are ugly, but I think this stuff is beautiful

First train across Lake Washington!

God bless 3rd Avenue

DE60LF 😍

God gives his best Rainier views to his most clapped out DE60LFs

This is delightful

*New* Orca acquired

And hello from SEA!

Beautiful flight today

Early start today

Teach your kids about subway signaling and interlockings at home before they learn it from someone else on the playground

What a beautiful day for baseball

NEW RULING: The Whimsy Governance Board has ruled on Docket 26-003 "Menu prices in funny units" whimsygov.org/dockets/26-0...

life is so beautiful when you don't have to find parking

It's that time of year again

It's baseball time

Happy to see that the train guy gave a heartfelt apology today. I think it is important to spread a sincere apology as widely as the original condemnation.

MLB’s Korean marketing slogan used to be “It’s big ball chunky time”, and I will never stop thinking about it

The first city I visited in Asia was the former Portuguese colony of Macau, now part of China (well, sort of). I had a layover to ride as much transit as possible, and what I found was a fascinating city with a ton of surprises! youtu.be/ucNH0O4yC2M

Cascades Airo visiting Newark Penn today - probably the only time you'll see this signed for New York!

This is my grandfather at work back in the 80s. He was a test pilot at Grumman starting from the LEM and continuing all the way up until the late 90s. You may know him from his work as the Apollo suit test dummy, or helping launch the Cradle of Aviation Museum on Long Island.

A neglectful landlord is a bad landlord. We won't accept that. We won a settlement. We monitored. We came back to check.
