It's lunchtime here on the East Coast, let's take a look at some uninspiring American trains--starting with Baltimore

...or the ol' red-white-and-blue, as seen on older (iirc) Chicago L trains. The newer ones stick with all-silver.pic.twitter.com/Fd3Bme9jtl
As an aside--whatever the failings of the Chicago L, it does make for some nice iconic photospic.twitter.com/yfFtJJHbL8
Can't talk about all-silver trains without bringing these NYC rat-cages up, can Ipic.twitter.com/Aoc6AceEgc
Cleveland's subway doesn't get much publicity, but it has one. Silver, of course, despite being the "Red Line."pic.twitter.com/DrV9K1WwRI
The oldest BART trains have a novel design which caused some operational headaches (can't couple!) but which I'm very fond of regardlesspic.twitter.com/SFIExMnc9O
Subsequent BART trains have stuck with a flat front. White w thin blue stripes is a good profile aesthetic, my fave in US outside of Boston.pic.twitter.com/BORq4Kyy9L
Los Angeles has its Red and Purple Lines, both using the same rolling stock afaik. Not a bad design, at least some color here!pic.twitter.com/DDRIxXp2XF
The *real* highlight of the Los Angeles subway is its station design. Hollywood/Vine (palm trees) is my fave, hands down.pic.twitter.com/2vsL3UhrgP
Only three other heavy rail metro systems in the USA--one is Philly (SEPTA and PATCO)...pic.twitter.com/unpTDUIzyI
...Newark/Jersey City/Hoboken/NYC with its PATH lines, very angry looking train lol...pic.twitter.com/YtpGhzprHs
...and my own dear Boston! I have some problems with the aesthetics on MBTA trains, but their vivid color schemes are my fave in the USApic.twitter.com/j2J1PsXJ4J
New rolling stock for the Orange Line is being built here in Springfield by CRRC--I like the look! Similar Red Line trains coming soon toopic.twitter.com/FXVtQ2J0m3
MARTA a worst
hey! don't talk bad about Atl- oh wait, yeah MARTA blows, I'll give you that
Thin color bands used to be a classic 80's design, has it been around that long or is it a more recent rebrand? Even the typeface feels 80s.
