ELECTRIC RACER

As Taj said, “Someone make this a train and put it on the east coast.” I couldn’t agree more. Although it’s not likely in the immediate future, it’s exciting to see developments like the Buckeye Bullet open new possibilities. Just recently Ohio State’s lithium powered Buckeye Bullet 2 shot across the UTAH desert at an average speed of 291 miles per hour breaking the world land speed record for a battery powered vehicle. We have a few photos from the event. Pretty awesome.

UNDERWATER SUBWAY

subway

I ride the train often, and on one of my regular routes we pass a train yard where you can see rows and rows of cars waiting for maintenance. Some look brand new while others look like they’ve seen better days. As we pass I always wonder what they do with the ones they want to retire. Well Animal Magazine points our attention to the fantastic photography of Stephen Mallon. In his work he documents the submergence of hundreds of NYC Subway cars. According to Animal, “They were ferried and dumped in the Atlantic Ocean to get reenacranted as articial reefs…” Below, you can find a few pictures from Stephen’s collection, but visit Animal for the full gallery. Also, Stephen has a show coming up September 10 – 13 at the Front Room Gallery in NYC. Check it out if you’re in town.
