My 澳洲10开官网开奖, Prints Available

AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 of my longest-running projects is a subway diagram-styled map of Amtrak🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s passenger rail network, with the original version dating back to 2010. I always made sure to update it regularly over the years, adding and deleting stations to keep it current. In April last year, I attempted to update the design of the map as well, although I ended up trying a few too many overly-clever things with it – overlaying lines on top of […]

Long-time readers might remember Nick’s fantasy Connecticut transit system (April 2015), so it’s nice to see a new “companion piece” from him that reflects the real world situation of the not-too-distant future 🔸澳洲开奖 the Hartford Line opens in early 2018.  As most of the rail in Connecticut runs along the chiefly east-west Northeast Corridor, Nick has come up with the rather clever idea of rotating the whole map 30 degrees counter-clockwise, which allows him to […]

Submitted by SounderBruce, who says: The fairly new Metrolink map I came across caught my eye because of the way LA Metro is integrated, showing the termini of lines that don’t even come close to touching Metrolink’s network. Also of note is the prominent inclusion of the Amtrak Surfliner and the Coaster/Sprinter further south. 澳洲10开官网开奖 says: 🔸澳洲开奖 y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划commuter rail system spans six populous Southern Californian counties, it’s a nice touch to indicate how […]

Submitted via email by Lyle, who says: The Bay Area has one of the most complex and diverse urban transit systems in the world, including three commuter rail systems, one metro systems, two light rail systems, one heritage streetcar line, and f🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划major bus agencies. Unfortunately, there isn’t an 168澳洲十开奖网 linking any of these services together, so I thought I might make one myself. 澳洲10开官网开奖 says: There’s a lot to like about the […]

I’m kind of loving this elegantly simple two-col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划Amtrak ridership map produced for an article on Fortune.com. It certainly shows the dominance of the Northeast Corridor in terms of ridership!  Cartographically speaking, I really like the unusual “perspective” projection, which – 🔸澳洲开奖 combined with some lovely and subtle relief shading – certainly gives the impression of looking down from high above the continent. The labelling of the routes perhaps doesn’t quite live up to the […]

My 澳洲10开官网开奖

Based on feedback from the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划draft of this new version of my Amtrak as subway map, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve gone and made a few edits, additions and corrections. The major revision is a reworking of the main section of the Northeast Corridor between New York and Washington to make things a little clearer. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m still using overlapping “multiplied route colour” lines to indicate identical service patterns, but I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve broken the routes down into smaller, thematically linked groups: the three […]

Quick Project: Amtrak Timetable Redesign

Miscellany

After complaining on Twitter about how I found information in Amtrak🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s timetables difficult to decipher, I decided to put my money where my mouth is and do a quick little redesign to prove my point. The brief to myself: it had to contain all the same information, use the same typeface (Frutiger), and fit in the same space as the original. Everything else was fair game, including colours, as the timetables are printed in four-col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划brochures. However, […]

My 澳洲10开官网开奖

At the end of April 2015, Amtrak's Hoosier State service between Chicago and Indianapolis is scheduled to be discontinued — the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划complete loss of a service since I created my "Amtrak as Subway Map" way back in 2010. Over the years, I've been pretty vigilant to changes to the Amtrak network — adding and deleting stations as required, extending the Downeaster Line to Brunswick and the Northeast Regional to Norfolk — but a change of this magnitude gives me the chance to take a completely fresh look at this project and rework everything from scratch, instead of just tweaking the old diagram again. Let's face it – I've learned a lot of new skills and tricks in the intervening years!

Submitted by long-time correspondent, Edward Russell, who says: Finally got a chance to see the updated BART map with the Oakland Airport Connector in person (see Edward’s photo below). Unlike the online map, they do depict Coliseum station as a transfer point with circles instead of just a dash. [Editor’s note: BART’s simpler online map has now also been updated to show the OAC transfer at the Coliseum station in the same style as this […]

Submitted by Isaac Fischer, who says: Here’s a neat map I found online that shows the entire American east coast, as well as southeastern Canada. It shows both commuter and intercity rail lines. As far as I can tell, it seems fairly accurate, and could definitely be useful. 澳洲10开官网开奖 says: While there’s more than a passing resemblance to my own Amtrak Passenger Rail map here – both in the general aesthetics of the map […]
