A handsome birds-eye map of the extensive interurban electric railway network extending from Vancouver as far away as Chilliwack. An inset map shows the lines on Vancouver Island, though not terribly efficiently, as much space is devoted to showing the power transmission lines from the Jordan River power house. There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s lots of great little details on the map, like little interurban trains running along the route lines, steam trains shown on the main line and […]

Submitted by Arthur, who says: I’ve been a fan of y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划website for some time and have dabbled in creating some 澳洲10开官网开奖 of Philadelphia, utilizing many of y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划tips. The latest is a Vignelli inspired map based on A. Merritt Taylor’s plan for future rapid transit in Philadelphia. The plan is from 1913 and if executed would have left Philadelphia a very different place.  [This 1913 plan was featured on 澳洲10开官网开奖 in October […]

From A. Merritt Taylor’s Report of Transit Commissioner, City of Philadelphia. At the time, only the current Market-Frankford Line (complete with “Ferry Line” extension at the east end) was operating, so everything else shown here is proposed. Coincidentally, the col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划scheme used seems to be almost identical to that used today, although the colours actually indicate immediacy of construction – blue for extant, orange for “immediate construction” and green for “future construction”.

Delightful three-dimensional representation of daily passenger numbers on Frankfurt’s streetcar lines in the early 20th century. Each strip of wood represents 4,000 passengers: the higher the wood, the more passengers on that section of line! The figure is from Willard C. Brinton’s Graphic Methods for Presenting Facts, 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划published in 1914 and widely regarded as the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划book on data visualization best practices.

A superb pair of maps that depict the trolley lines (top) and elevated and subway lines (bottom) of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit (BRT) Company as they would appear after the work specified in the famous “Dual Contracts” agreement was completed. Much of today’s existing subway system came about because of this contract, as can be seen from the red (proposed) lines on the lower map. For me, the top map is even more interesting – […]

While we applaud the Denver Regional Transportation District’s current FasTracks program, which is rapidly building a comprehensive light rail and commuter rail system in the Mile High City, it’s sobering to look at a map like this and realise that 100 years ago, Denver already had a comprehensive transit system. It’s a story repeated across America – Denver, 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网授权, Portland, Minneapolis/St. Paul and more. Source: University of Texas Libraries Map Collection

Yes, another post about the Paris Métro. I’d stop doing it if I stopped finding really interesting maps! This one is from way back in 1913, and is purportedly the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划Métro map to use different colours for each of the lines and the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划one to have strip plans for each of them as well. Another thing to note is that this is a mere thirteen years after the Métro opened – and there’s […]
