GO-ing to Work

"On July 18, 1858, the first through train passed over the entire line from Philadelphia via Mount Joy to Pittsburgh without transfer of passengers. At the same time the first smoking car ever attached to a passenger train was used, and sleeping cars also soon began to appear." - John Moody

The GO Train out of Milton station makes its way towards Mississauga and then Toronto. About the only reliable form of public transport in this one-horse urban sprawl town, Milton is quickly becoming the poster child for piss poor city management as more people flood into the suburbs and the population doubles. Not that city growth is a bad thing but when the infrastructure hasn't changed since the city was almost half its current size? Well, let's just say it's becoming clear that some have had enough...

I love pictures with the ground fog. So far no fog down here in Virginia. Maybe some morning soon.

The pic is awesome. I love the three sources of light...the lights on the train, the reflection of the light on the glass, and the light sky in the background. NICE. As for city growth? Yup, it can be a bad thing when there isn't proper planning or adjustment. Here's hoping for improvement soon.

Love the different light sources from the lights on the train, the reflection in the window, and the light in the sky background. Best wishes for improvement in that city that's growing with no proper adjustment.

Enjoy while you are able, these locomotives have a bout a three-four yearl ife remaining. The photo is different,
a surreal feel, as much as any morning
may well be for those who are sentenced
to endure the daily grind.
