Trans, spotted trainspotter wandering the Northeast. Sometimes I take pictures of things (usually trains). Snow leopard at heart. 30s. Shi/hir or she/her.
Learning to not hate myself just like how a first grader learns how to play Hot Cross Buns on the recorder: progress is halting and painful, but it’s happening very slowly.
@ROCKETLAZ you have our deepest condolences.

@BestGirlGrace they used to have one, but it was canceled in the 90s! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_(train)

There was even a proposal to study rail service between SLC and Boise, but it didn’t get any funding.

Dear Graceful Spark,

Railfully yours,

@BestGirlGrace only if you wake up on a different mode of transportation than the one that Isekai’d you
@BestGirlGrace He’s also done a ton of Greyhound videos, which really capture the way that company has been run into the ground in recent years.
@BestGirlGrace If you’re looking for more recommendations in this vein, Miles in Transit is my favorite of these channels. The two videos where he goes across Jersey by train, and then by local bus, are great, as is his, “Great Race to New York” series.
All this talk about the engineer being the only apparent crew on the train is activating the part of our brain that’s perpetually angry about Precision Scheduled Railroading. It’s probably a good thing that my letter-writing character (mareacter?) is a normal, non-Isekai’d pony with no knowledge of PSR or Audience World.
