New animated short film is put together, following Shelby the interurban car on a short ride.

Is this an Interurban?The A line uses the former right-of-way of the Pacific Electric Railway for much of its way from downtown LA to Long Beach, CA. If a light rail is running on a former Interurban line, does that make it an Interurban? #interurban #lightrail #losangeles #transit

Shelby crossing over the main line.

A shot I animated today using a background from 2024, featuring a Pennsy I1sa on a transfer run or something. Part of a longer sequence I'm working on!

I am working on a new Shelby cartoon that ought to be up this weekend - More of a background test/slice of life kind of thing where we go for a ride

Importantly, I learned how to simulate rough track

A bit more progress of animating Shelby turning around on the loop. Will be adding automobile and pedestrian traffic to the scene next - Send a character ref if you'd like a cameo in this one!

Something I've been working on over the last few days, animating Shelby turning around at the end of the line

May add a few more in-betweens, but, I'm very pleased with how the overall motion comes across in this test

Work in progress for a new background painting I'm working on, the balloon loop Shelby uses to turn around, before heading out of town

Any building design suggestions?

Riding the simulated #interurban in actual seats from an old #train car at the #Indiana #Historical Society! @indianahistory The electric interurban used to take people and goods to and from #Indianapolis from the surrounding towns.
The seats vibrated + video moved across the windows. Really cool!

Interior drawing of Shelby the interurban car - No immediate plans, but, this ought to come in handy the next time I animate her. The controls are absent so I can animate Motorman Stanley at work

I noticed a lot of new folks found me here on BlueSky after my trolley-posting got unexpectedly popular

Here's some Shelby art, since I'm in an interurban mood. Been busy on my latest animated project - Sketched this as a warmup

Romeo, Michigan: When the Interurban Ran the Town — and Why It Vanished In the early 1900s, Romeo, Michigan, was a farm town with a surprisingly modern advantage: electric interurban rail service. It gave residents a way to reach jobs, shops, and neighboring communities on a timetable—years before most families owned reliable cars. This episode follows the interurban era as it shaped daily life in Romeo. We examine how scheduled public transportation affected downtown businesses, how it widened the market for farm communities, and why the system faded as cars, paved roads, and buses took over. It’s also a reminder that “progress” did not always mean better public options. In many places, the end of rail service made mobility more expensive and more isolated for anyone without a car. If you’ve ever wondered how a small Michigan village stayed connected to the Detroit region—then watched those connections disappear—Romeo is a clean example. It’s a story about technology, economics, and the quiet ways a town changes when the tracks stop running.

If you're a fan of trolleys/trams/interurbans/electric railways, you should contact the city council of Yakima, WA today to urge them to keep the Yakima Valley Trolley line intact. They have a vote on this tonight.
They are voting on whether an upcoming street renovation should at least keep […]

This big B-B+B-B freight motor was built by the Spokane, Portland & Seattle shops for subisidary Oregon Electric (#51) in August, 1941. It was sold to the North Shore in December, 1947. Now painted green or blue and red for the Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad, it is seen pulling a short freight train through the suburbs on a snowy winter day.

North Shore Line #459 with freight at Racine, WI in January, 1963, less than a month from the line's closure. Rick Burn
