Re: PESO - I See The Train A'Coming
Montreal has had computerized subway operation since before 1976 (it was in place by the 76 Olympics). No train operators' jobs were lost. They still sit at their post with a big red mushroom button ready to be pushed in case an emergency stop is required. Along with one other train operator (who sits in the driver's compartment of the last car) he also operates the passenger doors. I am sure that if Seattle or any other city implemented automatic operation of their subways operators would still be required as a set of eyes for emergencies, even if some sort of hazard sensing system were installed. A few have mentioned how close to the platform edge some in this photo are. Some of Toronto's older stations have very narrow platforms. I guess they didn't have the foresight in the early fifties to see today's crowds. Even so, with one person standing against the wall there is barely room for a person to pass by without being on the yellow warning strip. I know I feel uncomfortable. When a train comes into this station and others with narrow platforms I prefer to stand with my back flat against the wall; not that I'm afraid of a pusher as much as an inadvertent bump by a passerby. Very poor design no matter when they were made...

Along with one other train operator (who sits in the driver's compartment of the last car) he also operates the passenger doors. The whole of the Docklands Light Railway here operates without drivers, and there really ought to be a word in the language for the feeling of disappointment you get when you think you're going to get to sit right at the front but just at the last moment some kids turn up and you really can't just shove them out of the way and take the seat yourself. Anyway, the trains still have a 'train captain' whose job it is to, er, stand there doing not much since there's an automatic announcer, the doors unlock automatically when the train stops, there's no big red button (otherwise a passenger would sit on it). I think their main function is to make sure you don't take a bike on unless it is fully folded (and they won't accept that a non-folding bike is of necessity fully folded at all times). Ocassionally they wave a sensor in your general direction to make sure your electronic ticket is up-to-date. Anyway again, since their job is far less skilled than a driver's job, they cost far less to hire and train, and the network is more or less immune from strikes because the 'train captains' can be sacked very cheaply.

Anyway again, since their job is far less skilled than a driver's job, they cost far less to hire and train, and the network is more or less immune from strikes because the 'train captains' can be sacked very cheaply. A few years ago Seattle built and implemented a Light Rail system at great expense. Decades ago they built a tunnel through downtown with 5 or 6 stops, but the money for rail traffic never materialized. It therefore became the Bus Tunnel with ventilation inadequate for the fumes from the diesel buses. So they bought a fleet of hybrid buses that could power through the tunnel on electric power, but not enough of them. They then upgraded the ventilation within the tunnel to cope with the many diesel buses still needed for the rider traffic. All this time they were using Electric Buses called Trolleys above on the regular streets. Then they closed the tunnel for two years to tear out the original tracks for light rail and regrade them because they were the wrong gauge, and the wrong height from the cars to the platforms. Finally finished the light rail system downtown several years ago with design promises to reach out to the suburbs north, south, and east of Seattle. That has been set aside as too expensive at this time. Developers were willing to spend big bucks to buy the land the city had been using to house and maintain an antique rail trolley running from the historic Pioneer Square district over to and down the waterfront and back for tourists so they could see all the cool places they could spend money. Without the barn, there was no place to maintain the old trolleys, so they modified several old buses to 'look like' they were trolleys to handle the load of tourists, especially since they now were docking dozens of cruise ships a season with millions to spend. Next they built a short line light rail from downtown to South Lake Union, promising developers foot traffic if they would invest in replacing much of the old commercial area with new shiny apartments and shops. There went our Pro camera shop and custom processing labs. For decades the downtown businesses had been taxed as a subsidy to provide free bus fare in the core downtown area to encourage shoppers to park elsewhere, preventing overcrowding. When that only partially worked, giving the homeless a place to sleep and allowing them to travel all over the area for free, they last year did away with the service, charging everyone everywhere. Without the incentive to shop downtown with free mobility, business dropped off some. Then they tried to kill it altogether by placing new digital parking meters throughout downtown, raising the parking rates to cover the costs. These meters also notified the meter maids and men when a meter expired, so the chances of a big old fine rose considerably. Then came the 2008 financial crisis. And I moved well outside of the city to the rural setting I now enjoy. I have seen Seattle several times in the past 5 years as I drove past it. For $12.00 I can avoid that by taking the ferry to my sister's instead of driving the long way around. The promise to link the light rail up to the northern areas of Puget Sound is pretty much dead, though maps can still be found. Doesn't look like Seattle and Tacoma will be linked at the airport as planned, though Seattle's portion of that system now reaches the airport. And, all the operators of all the systems are still 100% union.

Re: PESO: Peekaboo, I See You
Great shot. Though after having seen a number of pictures from K20D I tend to think that ISO 100 is a thing of a past. Only older cameras and their respective users would take a shot at such low ISO ;-). No offense, no pun, just a mild irony.

Re: PESO: Peekaboo, I See You
One of the oddities of my D300 is that I shoot much more at low ISO's than I ever did with my older bodies. I suspect some of this has to do with the really nifty Auto ISO on the Nikon (You set max ISO and the minimum shutter speed you want it do maintain, set the camera to the minimum ISO you want and let it do the thinking, works VERY well, better than the K10D's already good Auto ISO). I've probably taken more ISO 200 shots on the D300 than I did on my K10D *istDS combined. I do need to try out ISO 100 on it though. -Adam On 3/7/08, Boris Liberman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Great shot.

Re: Did I see Cotty?
I thought it wasn't you, but there was a tall, bald guy with a video camera next to Ben Curtis after it was definite that he had won. Couldn't tell if the had an attitude though :-) Bill Was that bald guy with the video camera that I saw at the end of the British Open Cotty? Bill ROTFLMAO. Hell no - I'm no bald guy with a video camera! I'm a bald guy with a video camera and attitude! Out of our patch I'm afraid. I was trodding much more morose ground as I retraced the steps taken by weapons inspector and scientist Dr Kelly during his last hours of life as he took his own in a remote woodland in Oxfordshire. It was kinda spooky in there, nobody else about. Just a few general shots of the forest for the news. Very sad. On Weds and Thurs I was up at the Royal International Air Tattoo on press days, and Friday morning Silverstone for an interview with Eddie Jordan and some links with the sports presenter. I've done golf a few times but it's hell carrying all the gear from hole to hole. The only tee I like comes in a pot. Early Grey. Hot :-) Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=| www.macads.co.uk/snaps _ Free UK Mac Ads www.macads.co.uk

Re: now I see. (was LX is BACK...)
I don't know anything about different materials having been used. I have four pristine LX's and one that is "highly brassed" There are a few very light scratches on it, but every corner and edge has the finish completely and smoothly worn off almost to the point one might think it was constructed that way. I obtained the camera without a finder, so the finder is new. The worn places are the color of brass, the color of the brass door knobs in my house. I assumed all LX's looked this way with the finish worn off. The main body and frame (underneath the leatherette) is a gray metal color. This is my telescope camera and has no strap or grip. My other cameras have a washer of very thin leather under the strap attachments (left side - all save the brassed one have "Grip B") to help them remain pristine. My first LX (purchased used) came this way and I thought it a good idea. Regards, Bob... Give blood. Play hockey. From: "Raimo Korhonen" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Interesting. On my - early - LX the so called "brassing" is not brass coloured but on the top of the body a grey colour shows through and under the left side strap lugs the colour is bright silver.

Re: Vs: now I see. (was LX is BACK...)
I believe it's aluminium. Aluminium oxidizes fairly quickly, so it will soon turn from shiny silver to dull gray when exposed to air. I would guess that by the strap lug it's constantly rubbing up against the metal and scraping off the oxidized aluminium. Todd At 11:16 AM 3/18/01 +0100, you wrote: Interesting.

Looks like there has been a change of materials - at least the finish. Time for research for our gurus. All the best!

RE: now I see. (was LX is BACK...)
I just pulled out my original LX (any excuse to handle it is a good one) and under the black is the born-grey plating/primer (??) and this sits atop the shiny metal - that shows through in quite a few places. This camera shows good scars from when I got it back in February 1985.

LX: now I see. (was LX is BACK.. woohoo -slurp-)
I handled an LX for the first time this morning and I'm beginning to understand why people here like them so much. It seemed old and was well-worn (yellowed Pentax lettering on the prism and a lot of brass showing round the self-timer lever) but it just felt so _nice_! I didn't check to see what finder it had, but I was amazed by the clarity of the view. They want about GBP200 (USD 290ish) for it. I'm tempted, but wary of its age and possible history. Any thoughts? - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.

The top of the mutli-function lever button is fabricated from brass and wears to reveal brass (the paint has a habit of peeling from these), the top panels are fabricated from aluminium and wear to reveal silver coloured aluminium.
