14mission<p>Last pictures from today's batch of scans.<br />This is CalTrain's South County Connector that runs from San Jose to Gilroy, the last holdout of the old diesel trains. It runs out into the country so it's painted with agricultural designs, especially garlic.<br />The picture with just one train car distinguishes the train from the sky much better than the shot of multiple cars. I took a look at the negatives, and actually, in both cases, there really isn't very good separation. Somehow in one picture the scanner is doing some nice enhancements that helps, so it comes out better than I can take credit for.<br />I think the lesson here is that that I should have used a yellow filter.<br /><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/FilmisnotDead" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FilmisnotDead</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/120film" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>120film</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/FilmPhotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FilmPhotography</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/CalTrain" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CalTrain</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SanJose" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SanJose</span></a></p>

Aaron Priven<p>Wondering if those Caltrain railcars could be sent to Oregon if they haven’t left for Peru already. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/amtrak" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>amtrak</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Caltrain" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Caltrain</span></a></p>

You need to have a card, or scan a QR code, or send an SMS for access. The SMS way didn't work but the QR did. So it's smartphone only, unless you have the card.<br />I suppose if you trash it your access will be blocked or something.</p>

14mission<p>On SB <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/CalTrain" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CalTrain</span></a> 112 and we just hit someone, between PA and Cal Ave. So service is going to be messed up today.</p>
14mission<p>Does anyone know if there is a convenient way to get a map of "all <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/sfmuni" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sfmuni</span></a> vehicles near me"?<br />Because sometimes you would just need to walk over a block to get on a parallel line, and that could be the best option.<br />Or if you get off <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/CalTrain" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CalTrain</span></a> at 4th & King, and want to get downtown, you have a lot of choices. And you might just want to get on whatever's coming first, but the stops are in different places.</p>
