Chicago, the rail capital of America, so of course there're lots of tracks. Here I was looking south, towards Museum Campus/11th St Metra station. #chicago #railroad #monochrome #blackandwhite #photography #darktable #metra

If you use the transit early in the morning, midday, or at night, you should let your IL representative know that they should fund the #public #transit. “We may need to eliminate midday, late night or early morning or overnight service,”says the CTA acting president. #Metra #PACE #Chicago

Hey all 👋🏼 🤗 I've been absolutely swamped at work (an entire month on site, everyday!) but wanted to mention real quick that the #Chicago transit 🚆 🚂 system is facing a massive budget shortfall for 2026!

There is currently NO funding set aside in the '26 #illinois budget to address the crisis facing #Chicgoans who rely on #CTA #metra and #BNSF for work or ridership or both.

If you rely on these services or just like #walkablecities, #DSA #CDSA has prepared a short letter that you can submit to Gov. #pritzker in just a few clicks ! 🖱️

Love our transit in Chicagoland! So many locals and visitors—tourists, commuters, folx w/disabilities… depend on #CTA #Metra #PACE daily. We’re facing a draconian cut that will undermine every aspect of Chicago and IL’s vitality. Call your state rep! #saveTransit #transit4all #pupplay #LGBTQ #gay

A human pup is standing sideways and giving a thumbs-up gesture. They are wearing a matte black neoprene puppy hood with upright, pointy ears on top. The doggo is dressed in a dark navy blazer with distinctive suede elbow patches and a beige shirt buttoned up underneath. The blazer has a single-breasted style and flap pockets, and the elbow patches are a chestnut brown color. In the background, there is a wall-mounted installation that features preserved green moss and assorted plant textures, adding an organic element to the scene. Various papers, informational placards, and a model of the El train system are pinned to the adjacent wall. The setting is indoors and gives a professional yet creative vibe.

Watching the Caltrain go by with their stupid high-efficiency higher-speed electrification and their stupid fancy new double decker cars without the wasted space of the old galley cars is making me SO MAD. :babyrawr:​

STOP BEING SO FANCY. *glares at it but double glares at Illinois for Metra being underfunded outdated trash* :vlpn_angry:​

Occasionally you're in the right place to film an event. This was a lorry getting stuck on a level crossing in La Grange, IL - the freight train hit it, made a mess of both the trailer and parts of the station: youtube.com/watch?v=SXXb7PO1AT #Illinois #Railway #Metra youtube.com/watch?v=SXXb7PO1AT

When I purchase my ticket through the app as the train is pulling into the station, I wonder if this is what Trinity feels like when she gets operating instructions for the UH-1 Huey uploaded directly into her brain.

Still from the movie "The Matrix" of Trinity (Carrie Anne Moss) standing on the roof of a building and silhouetted against the sky, holding a pistol, as a UH-1 Huey helicopter approaches.

I wonder if I'll run into the asshole who yelled at me last week when I asked him to respect the quiet car rules.

I hope so. 🤣
