MAPS/RAIL: Ambitions, Published in 2013

This is a six-year-old project. Call it mapping of ambitions. I doubt that the Canadian government of 2019 shares them, but here they are.

A project I've left unattended since 2013, in need of some additional detailing and cleaning up.
So. There was a bus-train collision today in the southwest corner of the city today.
I was already safely at my day job when I heard the news over the radio. Worried about one family I know of who live in that neighbourhood. I've since found out that they're all okay.
I've been on buses passing through there, and I've ridden the train in both directions through there as well. Call the mood...sombre. Otherwise, I'm looking at this and seeing a mystery in why it happened at all.
Beyond that, not sure what else to say...

Stuff I've been up to tonight
Mar. 1st, 2013 10:22 pmOn Facebook: I got into arguments on public transportation, how my nation should be governed - or not - and the value of changes to copyright law as it affects photographers and their clientele across Canada, and how the passage of time will affect those changes.
Also, I enjoyed watching Inception as well.
An entertaining beginning to a weekend.
And to think that earlier today, life felt as if it needed a Matthew Good soundtrack. Hospital Music, Vancouver and Lights of Endangered Species in particular.

...because, really, what else is there to do until the next federal election?
Anyway. Here's another version.
One of these days, I'm gonna take the thing apart and properly add in the northern Ontario communities...

Thank Cory Doctorow for tracking this down.

I did not know the passengers on that particular run - the only one to the northern reaches currently active in VIA Rail's roster of routes - had the option of such meals. But according to reports passed along by way of Branchline Magazine this month, those are being discontinued...?

viarail_fandom on the weekend. Not authorized or sanctioned by VIA Rail, so don't ask'em what they had to do with it. Seemed like something no one else was doing, setting up a Community for intercity passenger rail users and watchers in Canada. So I did it.

Apr. 14th, 2007 09:25 pmSeeing as I like travelling by rail whenever I can, and I've noticed that no one else seems to have set up a Community for VIA Rail users/fans...should I consider launching one myself?
Update 2020: I've since set up one on Livejournal - which may have survived without me? - and another here on Dreamwidth, thirteen years later.
