ASzy Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 I was examining for a place to put my notable moment of today, and it didn't fall into what I found, more being a "Wow" moment instead of a "WTF," "F Yeah," "SMH," or other moment. So the "General Wow Moments" thread came into being. My notable moment of "Wow": It's Semester Finals all this week. I walked into General Biology to find a lovely drawing on the whiteboard: Someone took the effort, and now I can't take my mind off of it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom1122 Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Back in 2014 I visited the Trolleybus Museum of Sandtoft (England) to see {and ride) former Edmonton BBC #189. At one point 189 and four of the five other trolleybuses that were running that day at the museum were lined up side by side and a museum member gave a brief history of each vehicle. When he got to 189 he said "We have a visitor with us who rode the bus". I felt like a celebrity. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayside Observer Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 One of my friends took some 1972 pricing information I had on something, ran it through an inflation calculator, then converted to Canadian dollars at today's exchange rate. Wow. That's the only word for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transitfan2022 Posted December 18, 2023 Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 Me and my friend got on a 2018 XN40 18148, we rode it a few stops when the driver asked if we would like to take a closer look at the bus once we reached Surrey Central, we said yes. 10 minutes pass, we get to Surrey Central, and were code breaking, learning what switch does what, learning what it's like to operate a bus, just awesome! Driver NEEDS a raise ASAP!; 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driver NEEDS a raise ASAP!; Ended up getting an unscheduled tour by an awesome driver back in '06 or so when VTC first opened. He figured out quick that I was a transit nerd and asked me if I wanted to "ride around the yard". Around we went (in an old trolley), complete with an unintended dewirement. He let me back out at the Marpole Loop. He wasn't actually out of service and used up his "break" to do that. If that driver is on here, thanks again! Added: We were coming in on a 10 when it terminated there. He had no passengers left except me so he turned right to the yard and did this instead of going through to Marpole Loop. At first I wondered what the heck he was doing then he told me and I was over the moon. Now, the mellowed me would say a bit of ho-hum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. S. Bach Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Seeing this fifty-plus year old ex-Southern Pacific SD40T-2 "tunnel motor" (red IORY 4071) in South Charleston, Ohio last November: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. S. Bach Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Having been railfanning (trainspotting?) for a long time, tonight was a first for me. The flashers at the CSX-J. A. Cochran Bypass crossing were flashing and the gates were down with nothing in sight. After a moment or so I heard a strange single-note air horn blowing for the crossing. A Sperry Rail Detector car slowly crossed the road. In all the years this was a first for me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
