Commemoration in Transit: A look at how transit properties publically commemorated the events of September 11
 |
Welcome to Grand Central at Oren's Transit Page. Please scroll down to access the photo galleries, featuring pictures of public transportation operations from around the world. Some sections are more extensive than others but you will find there is much to explore and learn, even if the section for a specific system is not nearly as extensive as another. Thumbnails are generally sorted with about 15 per page, so you can safely open a page and you shouldn't encounter difficulty. I also have a links page (link available on the navigation bar) to other transit related sites and official transit authority web sites. This is an unofficial site and any schedules and information are subject to change without notice. For official information, go to the appropriate transit authority's web site by going to the links page.
You may copy and reproduce the still photography (excluding photographs of the webmaster) that appears on this website so long as you properly credit it to me. All other photographs, videos, sound recordings, downloads, etc. may not be copied, reproduced, or published elsewhere on the Internet without prior permission. For more information, see the Creative Commons License at the bottom of this page, or send an e-mail to the webmaster by using the link on the Navigation Bar to the left.
Please sign the guestbook (link available on the navigation bar) before you leave! Access to the Guestbook is located on the Navigation Bar at Grand Central.
Thank you for visiting the site, and please come again!
GENERAL ORDERSThe next few updates will include photos from a number of European countries. Due to the highly integrated nature of the European transportation networks, especially in the sense that many national rail operators and high speed line operators serve multiple countries, you may encounter some dead links in the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, and Germany sections until all updates are completed. I apologize for any inconvenience.|
