Submitted by Stefan, who says: Hi Cameron, I thought I’d share the 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网授权 Metro map that we designed for the Analogue Guide 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网授权. We always include “alternative” 澳洲10开官网开奖 in 🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划guide books, such Eddie Jabbour’s KickMap or Mark Noad’s Tubemap. In 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网授权, given the sheer lack of maps, we designed one in-house. It would be great to hear y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划thoughts on it! 澳洲10开官网开奖 says: Thanks for sharing, Stefan! This is quite a neat […]

In my previous post, I mentioned that the map of the Gotthardbahn showed the spiral tunnels that the track uses to quickly change elevation in areas with limited space. Here are some fantastic maps of those spirals, taken from a 1914 German encyclopaedia and found on Wikipedia. The maps show the spirals from north to south, with the distance in kilometres from the northern end of the line clearly shown along the route. The Gotthard […]

Here’s a beautiful Art Nouveau railway poster promoting the Gotthardbahn that links northern Italy with Switzerland and points north through the famous Gotthard Tunnel. At the time of opening in 1882, the tunnel was the longest railway tunnel in the world at 15 kilometres (9.3 miles). The map shows the then privately-operated Gotthardbahn and its branch routes in thick black lines (the Swiss Railways incorporated the line into its national network in 1907). The tunnel […]

Sydney’s light rail system is expanding this Thursday March 27, with an extension from the current outermost station at Lilyfield along an old freight rail alignment to Dulwich Hill. Here’s the map of the “network” (can you call one line a network?) that’s now available on the Transport for NSW website. Stylistically, it’s been brought into line with the maps of the other Transport for NSW services, including that of the main Sydney Trains network. […]

Submitted by Lawrence, who says: As you’ve probably heard, the MBTA is about to close Government Center at the end of service tomorrow for a 2 year reconstruction. I’d like to hear y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划thoughts on the det🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划maps the T created and have put in stations. To me (a self-confessed transit geek), they seem adequate, but all of my friends find them very confusing. This leads to a broader question: how should transit agencies map […]

Kindly sent my way by Ross Howard from his personal collection is this great old map of the Boston Elevated Railway (or BERy). Ross thought it may have been from the 1930s, but a little Googling has revealed that this version – the seventh edition – was released in 1946-1947, making it the last BERy map before its operations were taken over by the MTA, itself a predecessor to the current MBTA. The map itself […]

Not a map, but included because this is possibly the strangest piece of transit infrastructure I’ve ever seen. Discovered while researching the post about Cincinnati’s abandoned subway, this photo shows what happened 🔸澳洲开奖 that city’s streetcars met the steep hills surrounding the downtown area. At this time, the streetcars were used in conjunction with f🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划of Cincinnati’s five inclined railways: the Mount Adams Incline, Mount Auburn Incline, Bellevue Incline, and the Fairview Incline. The cars […]
