HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Yep!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Definitely haha
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Although if he does pay for my way up there then I might not be opposed to that...
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
When I can make time for it! Still a 7 hour ride one way which is a lot of time investment!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh very very smooth, I was not expecting that at all!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
There is no weirder (but still very hot) feeling that is getting hit on when you immediately take off your suit head 🥴 His line that stuck the most with me is "well if you ever want my wood it's always a train ride (Borealis) away ;)" which apparently works very well on me 🫣

Me at FM in bed between two guys while also getting checked out by another guy at the con.
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah probably
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Interested as to which interaction now
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Longer ago than what I remembered then
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Nah this is not too long ago, I already looked through my blocklist and he wasn't there blocking me. Give or take this was two months ago.
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh I haven't even interacted with you, your days are *so* numbered.
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
I had a great time as well! Can't wait for the next time we get to do a fursuit walk again!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
I really just feel like doing things to him.
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Respectfully to Pace, nuh uh and in your dreams lmfao

One thing that alt accounts are good for, avoiding videos you don't want to see at all!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
wait there's GREEN???
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
I think (I think) if I remember correctly white is for University Park, Orange is South Chicago, and Blue is for Blue Island but I don't know if that's right or not at all and it's probably wrong.
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
I know red is for the tail end lights!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
hah yeah that

Transit fennec girl who is SO ears!

I haven't even watched the video but the stock price is a clear indicator it's a winner, I wished I bought like 10 shares in 2015. I would have made $4k by now.
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Well that but it's also very useful for Ragbrai when I don't feel like waiting in a long line in the morning for breakfast.
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Ohhh this was the first batch with the new front and rear too gotcha
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
No way 🤯🤯
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Love that for Iowa
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
It's the better gas station regardless
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
Also went on a fursuit walk/dinner with @thatlilserg.bsky.social!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
Yesterday I got to be worm on a string thanks to @spikehyena.bsky.social for letting me wear the head for the day and taking pics for me! Tons of people at FM loved it so much! :3
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Ewwww
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Nooo I forgot to see you 😭😭
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
I'm at Furry Migration! (FM)
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
I thought this was at Kennedy station for a second 😭
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
hey i've been there before!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Also TIL the parking brakes on the 7000s are so weak and faulty that you can drag them for a few stations at 55 without even noticing it until the plume of brake dust catches up to the train.
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Personally I'll take whatever it takes to eliminate the umps and that's it
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
This is making me wonder about the OTP for this month with the MED if cancelling all these trips is going to bode well at all
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah I've seen some people hanging battery powered lights off of their suits, sounds like fun if you really like Christmas lol
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Well now you do!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes, this is the second G7 to have the mechanical shutter just *stop working* under normal use patterns. I have contacted MPB and I am sending it back for a warranty claim.
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
shieeeet farrrrrk (The mechanical shutter died)
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
Annnnnd 45 minutes late into Union. Not the worst but not the best either.
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
This is why I like using all three agencies to the fullest extent bc you're not pigeonholed into one part of Chicagoland like just the city or just one suburb. It unlocks wayyyy more things to do. Like I've seen *most* of the red area and the city, it's not hard to do!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Ooh neat!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
Amtrak Wolverine time!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
They could add these to other stations but that means busting up concrete and messing up with stations for a long while and that's not worth it.
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah np! I prefer these over the step boxes (or none at all) that are provided at older Greyhound Stations because you're less likely to miss a step and break your ankle if you fall from there.
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Especially when some people spend more time in the city than they do in the suburbs
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
OH where they had the multi-month shut down for track work yeahhh
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Howww 😭
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
There's enough distance from the front of the first axle to the front of the coach that they can park it over a curb and make boarding it way easier and they barely have to lower it.
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
How have I been to Detroit more times than you loll
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
Q Line time! It was delayed due to a uhhhhh Vehicle on the tracks!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
Beautiful :)
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
Had to ride the Detroit People Mover obviously!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
good morning aofie
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
All this too
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
The Temsa TS45 was nice, our driver was very direct and concise about his job, and the seats were more comfortable than what's in a Novabus. But it cost more, was vastly slower, less frequent (4rts a day), and dropped me off in a way more inconvenient location!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
Now that regular Tunnelbus Service has ended, it's now time to try out the next best thing, Flixbus across the border from Windsor to Detroit! It was *only* an hour late and took an hour to make it across! For double the time and price of Tunnelbus! 🥴
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
@amaertins.bsky.social uhhhh thinking on it?
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
Had a bit of a rocky start, VIA's reliance on plentiful staffing hit the worst when we had *one* person from the crew missing so we left Toronto an hour late but the 90mph/150kph line speed in some areas helped us reel in some minutes back but still late.
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
what the
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
Good night to the end of Tunnelbus Service. As of August 31st 2025, Transit Windsor has officially ended the route between the US and Canada.
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Shocker!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
I've had a fun day in Toronto :3
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
Oh hell yeah :D
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
"hell yeah" kind of breakfast
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
Tunnel Bus across the border from Detroit to Windsor!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
Yeah I'm doing that stupid thing I said I was gonna do. Greyhound from Chicago to Detroit!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
No, this is not my photo. Got it from someone on discord who didn't know the exact source of it.
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
Here's what happens if you drive around the gates and in front of a train... Yes, this is a photo from the incident.
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Good that it's gone!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
I mean people do it in winter because of road salt rusting cars quicker.
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
very late because a freight railroad caused this, on time if amtrak caused it :P
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
Made the last UP-NW run of the day with two minutes to spare and rode all the way out to Crystal Lake. End of daytrip!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
Never want to cut it this close ever again...
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
Made it back to Chicago 1h 30m behind schedule at 12:20A...
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Single tracking overnight for trackwork? Okay good fine. Sending FOUR EB INTERMODALS THROUGH IN A ROW? NAHHH FUCK YOU
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
Status update: Fuck NS
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
The Q Line needs a lot more than just signal priority 😬
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
Amtrak time :)
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Think it's good?
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
This bus was *flying* down Woodward compared to the Q Line, it got to the same destination 10 minutes faster than the Q Line despite leaving 5 minutes later.
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
I love this Diesel powered tram that has no permanently affixed tracks in the ground and doesn't get held up by cars blocking its path!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
I needed to get from Grand Circus Park to the Amtrak Station so I thought I would take the Q Line, problem is that one of the streetcars hit a car so it was stuck there. 4 - Woodward DDOT bus to the rescue!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank you!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Also there's nothing wrong with saying "congrats" after all I've been through today.
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Idk what else you wanted me to tell them and there's no changing the past now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
More bus photos from today!

It was either that or the "well technicallyyyy" I didn't feel like dumping that on a Canadian

"Public transit enthusiast from Chicago" 😁 It was like 5 seconds but it counts :P
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
I was on the news today while I was in Canada! Specifically the 6:00PM news on an opinion piece for CTV News Windsor regarding an American operated side for the tunnel bus!
HSRGood (@hsrgood.bsky.social)
mmm DDOT buses
