New LRTs! |

With the new LRT route to St. Paul soon to open, it looks like Metro Transit has been out LRT shopping: here comes a northbound two-car LRT bound for Target Field as it arrives at Humphrey Terminal. Flags and traffic in background are for Ft. Snelling National Cemetery on this grey Memorial Day 2013. |

One More Ride |
| Description: |
A northbound Blue Line arrives at 28th Street station late in the morning on Memorial Day 2015. I was only going as far as Amercian Boulevard station, where I would walk up to Ft. Snelling National Cemetery to thank vets and honor those who gave their lives for America. Then it would be back to American Boulevard and back to 28th Street, where my car was parked. At the end of my trip to the cemetery, I found out my mother was finally going to move from HCMC to a care facility in the suburbs, which meant my LRT rides today will be my last for awhile. |

38th Street Was Quiet Today |
| Description: |
I visited 38th Street Station in 2004 on the LRT's opening day. The trains were so packed, I could not get aboard any. 38th Street was quiet as a sacred site today, though, when I went downtown from it and returned. This is my return train just after arriving at 38th Street. |

"Extra HCMC South" |

My mom is now at a care facility, but I had to ride the Blue Line to HCMC to pick up a personal item of hers which was left at the hospital. I hereby dub the Blue Line train I left downtown on "Extra HCMC South." Here is the "extra" at Fort Snelling Station, my station stop on these downtown jaunts (dig that fabulous park and ride they have here). |

"Extra HCMC North" |

I nicknamed the Blue Line trains I rode to and from downtown Minneapolis recently "Extra HCMC North" and "Extra HCMC South" due to my mom's second (and hopefully final) hospital stay at HCMC. Here is the "extra" I rode on my last northbound trip at Downtown East, a station located only a couple blocks from the hospital. |
