Black and white photograph of Council Crest streetcar 506 navigating a tight curve up in Portland Heights.
Incomplete black and white sketch diagram of New Jersey's passenger rail system from the 1980 NJ Transit "Graphic Standards Manual". Only major stations are named and all the route lines are black.
An image of a diagrammatic transit map with a loupe placed on top of it. Superimposed on the map are the words: "Transit Maps Print Sale! 15% off all prints through Monday, December 2."
A "strip map" diagram of Red Line rail services in Boston, Massachusetts. The diagram is outdated, and additional stations have been written in by hand to keep it current.
A colour-coded diagram of rail services in Portland in 2027 as they were predicted to be when the diagram was drawn in 2020.
Detail of a map showing streetcar routes that ran in Portland, Oregon in 1915. Lines are colour-coded by the Bridge that they cross the Willamette River on – all lines over the Hawthorne Bridge are red, for example.
The UTA's rail map from 2013. Awful.
A watercolour technical illustration dated 6-16-1931 showing a front and side view of a Portland Brill Master Unit "Broadway" streetcar. The purpose of the illustration seems to be to indicate a potential livery for the streetcar – French grey and ivory as the main colours, with hunter green accents and black striping. A rose decal is indicated on the side of the car, as is the number "800". This is the livery that the Broadway cars were painted in when they arrived in Portland in 1932, though they were later repainted in red and cream. The front view clearly shows the standard gauge body of the car mounted on narrow gauge trucks.
A stylized "transit diagram" of streetcar lines in the city of Spokane, Washington in 1912.
