The magic of electronic headsigns is shown in this weeks Socal POTW. Here we see LACMTA NABI 7033 at the Cal State LA busway Station on a Saturday night a year or so ago, not 100% sure of the date, while my friend, Mr. Orange was deadheading his bus back from El Monte after working a Metrolink bus bridge. My friend Sean was also along and the two thought about me while on the busway and put my name in the headsign and posed the bus for pics, at Cal State LA. At the time I was still working at Cal State LA. Thanks to Sean and the O-Man for the pictures.

From Golden Gate Transit: "In early 1993, Golden Gate Transit's Whale Bus was hand-painted in oils by world-reknowned environmental artist George Sumner. The 40-foot bus is the canvas for a life-size Humpback Whale on each side and kissing Bottlenose Dolphins adorn the front and back. The Whale Bus is an educational vehicle that has been driving home an important message about endangered species, the environment, and public transit's role in helping both issues."

This scene has changed considerably since this photo was taken in the 1980s. The bridge Amtrak is on is now the LACMTA Gold Line to Pasadena. The SP switchers in the background are bringing cars from the Bull Ring into Midway yard. Midway yard is now the location of the Gold Line shops.
