Living in New York City we are blessed with the privilege of rail travel. While Metro North is not nearly as aesthetically pleasing as the old timey trains pictured below, it still creates a connection to an older time. The typographic elements exemplified on these trains are easily recognizable, but still new and fresh. The disappearance of this type of great American design is what leads patriotic gentlemen like Aaron Draplin to declare “America fucked“…at least from a design perspective.

this post is very cool.
I just want to thank you for sharing so many great things in here always. I’m excited to read you blog everyday, and I love it!

From a major train fanatic:
I know it is Holiday Inn and all but I stayed here as a kid. My parents drove me up from Atlanta and it was a most memorable vacation. Not sure what it is like these days but could be a good drive by if you are in that neck of the woods.

I took a press trip here and everyone thought I was an actor dressed up as Charles Ryder. Really…
