One the one hand, I applaud the decision of the hard wearing rattan, but at the same time I feel so sad that the NY subway missed on on funky moquette seat patterns...

If you ever get the chance to visit the UK and want to see some amazing trains I highly recommend the National Railway Museum in York! :D

A photo the main turntable room of the UK's National Railway Museum showing a number of historic trains.

this beauty was the last style of wooden elevated car to run in America, phased out in 1969... she’s painted in the World Fair’s official colors.

If you ever get to Pittsburgh, we’ve an entire museum of trolleys. Most of them still work and get taken out for a spin.

And over in Sacramento, we have a very lovely steam train museum, including a lovely train that will go out and back for an hour of sightseeing.
