User:Mulad/Desired images

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of articles where images (or more appropriate ones) would be really great to have:

Rail transportation

[edit]

Stations

[edit]

Track diagrams would also be great for stations

Active railroads and subsidiaries

[edit]

Many of these don't have any images. New or updated route maps would also be helpful.

Defunct railroads and interurbans/streetcars

[edit]

Bridges

[edit]

Named trains

[edit]
  • Better shots of the Empire Builder:
    • More iconic photo for Amtrak (possibly in the mountainous west or along the Mississippi River near Lake City, Minnesota)
    • A better view of the train back in the Great Northern era that shows locomotives. A tail-end view of the train might also be nice if it was running with an observation car.
  • Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad's Twin Cities Zephyr:
    • Images showing the evolution of the locomotives from slant-nose to bull-nose would be nice. A side-on view showing the articulation in early trains would also be excellent.
  • Milwaukee Road's Twin Cities Hiawatha (aka Hiawatha, Morning Hiawatha, Afternoon Hiawatha):
    • The train was orange, so color photos would be desired.
    • Good shots with streamlined locomotives in front, both steam and diesel would be good.
    • Images showing the evolution of the observation cars into skytop lounge would be excellent (there is a beavertail image, but others would also be good).
    • Amtrak also ran a train they called the Twin Cities Hiawatha, which may also be interesting.
  • Chicago and North Western Railway's Twin Cities 400
    • A shot of the early heavyweight steam version of the train would be good.
    • A shot of a drumhead from the steam train era with "The “400”" printed on it.
    • A shot of a streamlined diesel train somewhere, particularly with the locomotives included. Color would be desired, since it was yellow and green.

Road transportation

[edit]

Bus providers

Routes/stations/transitways

[edit]
  • List of Metro Transit routes – Popular bus routes could use images. Photos taken at signature locations along the routes (e.g., the 16 at the U of M or state capitol, the 84 in Highland Park or at Rosedale, the 5 at the Midtown Exchange transit center, etc.) would be best.
    • Since these mostly only appear as thumbnails (though they should be zoomable), files can be relatively small (1 to 4 megapixels would probably be appropriate)
  • U of M Transitway
  • I-35W Bus Rapid Transitway
