Today NJ Transit did better than the actual US federal government:

This is their new autism acceptance locomotive wrap, with the rainbow infinity symbol and the word 'acceptance' instead of 'awareness.' NJT literally outdid the federal government, which has gone back to 'awareness' because they don't want us to exist.

I got this photo from NJ Transit's Facebook page, which is here. There are buses, too! Check 'em out! I'll definitely be on the hunt for this locomotive; it's been a while since I've done some proper trainspotting but I'm going to stake her out and get some good photos. I'm looking forward to the hunt!

Anyway, just thought you all should know that a commuter railroad is better at this than a lot of major corporations and the actual American government, so there you go.

I figured that now is the best time to start drawing some commuter stuff by drawing NJ Transit's ALP-46.

so, firstly, Happy Pride And Wrath Month to all y'all

secondly fuck New Jersey Transit FUCK NEW JERSEY TRANSIT

Let me start off with a fact: I do not drive. I don't have my licence. I rely on public transport and transit for getting around, especially from New Jersey to New York.

but New Jersey Transit making it really hard to even access their shit anymore and exist as a Jersian. fix your fucking transit systems.

y'all really fucking out here with the goddamn elevators turned off for the fucking station here at Wesmont!!! YOU CANT FUCKING GET TO THE TRAIN PLATFORM WITHOUT USING THE TALL, STEEP, AND LENGTHY STAIRS UP AND DOWN

they weren't out of order. just. turned. off.

LET ME REPEAT. THE DISABILITY USE ELEVATORS, THE ONLY FUCKING WAY TO EASILY ACCESS THE PLATFORM FOR PEOPLE WITH MOBILITY ISSUES, WAS TURNED OFF.

if I was a wheelchair user instead of a cane user, I literally would not be able to get where the hell I was going.

it took me 25 minutes to get up and down the stairs AND we missed our train

ofc photo evidence of my ass using the stairs because I WILL be getting to my destination.

and y'all are supposed to run a train every hour, but the next one isn't scheduled UNTIL NOON

fuck y'all. I hate fucking existing as a disabled person in this world. I am allowed to use public transport and exist in my fucking life as much as the next person. I'm so goddamn angry, and I can't do a goddamn fucking thing about it.

Metro-North FL9 No. 2020 and a borrowed NJ Transit F7 emerge from the tunnel under the Bear Mountain Bridge with a GCT-Poughkeepsie commuter train on 10 July 1992.

Disco Stripes

New Jersey Transit EMD E8A 4334 (ex-Southern Railway) sits forlornly out back of the Elizabethport shop. It's wearing an odd white paint job with classic NJT "disco stripes".
