Talk about a trip on the wayback machine. AOL 5.0?!

For me it's Top Gear on BBC America. When that show comes on, whatever I'm doing stops.

So how about the T/O who are certified to drive the nostalgia trains. How and when do they get trained to drive these old trains?

T/O's have to gain seniority and pick a yard trick at 207th Street Yard. C/R's can work anywhere, but you've gotta know the right people. Training is done on your own time, without pay. Oh, and you've gotta wait until one of the regulars either decided to not do it anymore, takes a promotion, or retires. Good luck on that part.

Let me give this a shot then,

Dude, you totally broke the rules of the thread. Your best photo means your best ONE photo. Which one of those would you consider to be your best ever?

...

?!? Why is there Bus Photos on this thread ?!?

Because it's about your best TRANSIT photo that you've ever taken. Bus, train, plane, horse & plow, it doesn't matter!

And so far, I've seen some damn good photos!

Nice pix. It's amazing how long the GM Fishbowls have lasted up in Toronto. The bus looks like it's in excellent condition!

Wow, this is one sweet railcar... I love it because it is kinda like a NJT RiverLine railcar but blending in touches of the AirTrain and NYC Subway... Toronto Rocket is ready for liftoff, !

I think it's absolutely butt ugly.

Is there a difference between with train or without train? I know only one but there are tied... Can't decide, ...

IMO, your signal photo is better than your train photo.

Here's my top 2

You're not allowed two. Which one is your best one?

Wow, each one of you has posted an impressive photo!

Y2 - the combined dusk and slow shutter speed just made for an excellent photo. The quality of the camera doesn't hurt either!

Trainfan - the pic of the train is nice, but it's the tangled weave of overhead wires and steel that makes that photo.

lrg - if there wasn't a visible background in that pic, I would've sworn that it was taken out in a field somewhere. The weeds give it a little extra oomph.

KR - good photo of a train going two ways at once, plus there aren't too many 68A's over there any more.

R160 - excellent optical illusion! Not only did you get a good headlight twinkle, but the photo makes the circle look like it's only one car long!

Subway - wow, that sky doesn't even look like a sky! That's a nice, rustic photo.

Quite a few of you have taken numerous photos of trains, buses, and other transit types over the years.

What I would like to see is what you consider to be your best transit photo ever. Post it here and give a little description of what it is and why you consider it to be your pièce de résistance, or your best ever in layman's terms.

There's only one rule to follow: POST ONLY ONE PHOTO! It can be from any country, any city (New York too), anywhere.

Here's mine, which I recently took. It is a photo of the signal mast at the Gambetta station on the Paris Métro #3 line. I just love how all the different colors just blended together to make a very nice photo for a little $149 point and shoot camera.

P.S. I hope that I chose the proper forum for this post.

We either ask a station cleaner for it, or wait till the station is COMPLETELY empty and then take the posters off.

Hopefully the signs are expired when you do that.

Phew! Luckily, I caught the station cleaner in time at 77th Street on the . I got these today

 

Was it absolutely necessary that you divulge where and especially who gave it to you? Next time, be a little more subtle.

Ok, here are my two. I change from time to time and I'm currently using the first one.
