Photos of the Month June 2026

James Bures Photo of the Month:

Martin Parsons Photo of the Month:

  A couple of photos from last year that I have yet to feature.

Calgary Transit #8596, a 2024 Nova Bus LFS Natural Gas, departing the North Pointe terminal as a route 114. This was numerically the newest bus in service at the time (July 2025), but Calgary Transit has since received another order of similar buses (#8597-8656).

MiWay (Mississauga) #1215, a 2012 Orion 07.501 EPA10 BRT running NB on Carlingview Drive at Meteor Drive as a route 7N. MiWay is among the last Orion operators, with these buses delivered during the final year of production. They should be in service for at least a few more years given that all have now been repainted into the orange livery and no potential replacements are due to arrive anytime soon.
  2 slides in my collection of Johnstown Traction Company equipment.
First is 350, seen working the Franklin Line at Clinton St and Phoebe Ct on July 12, 1958. This car was built by St. Louis in 1926. Streetcars held on Johnstown well after most other systems had shut down. Johnstown didn't close until June 11, 1960. This particular car was saved by the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum.

The second slide is 704, a 1951 St. Louis trolley coach, seen on the last day of service on November 11, 1967 at Washington and Walnut.. This coach would be sold to Mexico City for continued service there. 

Nico's Video of the Month:

May 2026 introduces the inaugural Nico's Video of the Month feature.
What better than the inaugural run of ETS's Valley Line LRT?

Nov 4, 2023 The very first northbound train on the Valley Line pulls into Mill Woods Station to start the very first trip of the morning while an excited crowd records the train on the platform. Cars 2008 and 2026 are featured in this video.
