Austin now has train service! Here’s some more photos of this beautiful and expensive contraption.
For a long time, the train was aloof, whisking along the tracks on test runs, empty and unapproachable.
Then during SXSW, I saw it daily, resting by the convention center, finalizing the preparations for passengers.
Notice the sleek, futuristic yet retro-art-deco lines of Austin’s very own train!
Then the big day came! The train was here! Our very own train to ride!
Notice the happy passengers, thrilled just to be included.
This guy is blind, and even he can see how great the train is!
