From the backlog from last October: I did the Old City Hall station tour. The tour is only open to members of the NY Transit Museum. But the free way to see it is to take the 6 train and stay on the train past Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall station; there the train will go through the Old City Hall station in a loop to turn around. <a href="/tags/nyc/" rel="tag">#nyc</a> <a href="/tags/subway/" rel="tag">#subway</a> <a href="/tags/trains/" rel="tag">#trains</a> <a href="/tags/trainstation/" rel="tag">#trainstation</a> <a href="/tags/architecture/" rel="tag">#architecture</a> <a href="/tags/photography/" rel="tag">#photography</a> <a href="/tags/darktable/" rel="tag">#darktable</a> <a href="/tags/railfan/" rel="tag">#railfan</a>

<p>It seems there are a lot of autistic people on Mastodon. And autistic people like trains, right? Yet I don't find a lot of train-related content on the Fediverse.</p><p>In an attempt to change that, I have made a railfan Pixelfed account <span class="h-card"><a href="https://pixelfed.dk/railfan" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>railfan</span></a></span> where I post pictures of trains and infrastructure, mostly from southern Denmark (living near the border, there will be German trains as well).</p><p>You can follow Pixelfed accounts from Mastodon, you don't need another account.
