Passenger Trains > Now Appearing Live at Planetarium

UTA's newest extension of it's expanding LRV system has three brand new stations. Of the three new stops, "Planetarium" along the Gateway Mall is my favorite.

I took advantage of UTA's free FrontRunner one last time before the fees kick in on Thursday. I captured this trio of images waiting for a northbound TRAX to whisk me away after an evening of soaking up mass transit, Utah style. There's nothing quite as fun as watching folks running in panic mode for a departing train (as if it will be the last). And yet, one passes by this point every 7.5 minutes or so.

Anyhow, enjoy the shots.

Something I've thought about doing, but never had the nerve, is to wait around in a train or transit station in the evening. As soon as a train left and an attractive woman would come running and then get mad that she missed her train, I'd go up to her and say "Hi, I work for xyz transit agency (or commuter railroad). Thanks for chasing this train out of the station. If you hadn't come along in a hurry, my train never would have left the station."
