Train Station #28 -- November 5, 2010

The Seattle Center Monorail Station is the gateway to the Space Needle. The Alweg monorail was built to carry people to the 1962 Century 21 Exposition. I took the photo during our July, 2010 visit to Seattle.

Train Station #27 -- October 5, 2010

The Westlake Center Mall Station of the Seattle Center Monorail. I took the photo during our July, 2010 visit to Seattle.

Downtown Disney -- July 29, 2010

We just got back from consecutive visits to Seattle and Disneyland. We had a nice room on the 9th floor of the Dream Tower of the Disneyland Hotel. This tower had just been refurbished. The room was nice, but there was not as much drawer space as there had been in the old configuration. I took this photo early one morning. Monorail Blue sits between the Lego Store and Downtown Disney Station, probably paused for a photo opportunity. Crews are setting up for some kind bicycyle/skateboard exhibition that went on over the weekend and caused all sorts of noise and mess.

Monorail Red -- August 18, 2008

Just back from a visit to Disneyland. We got to see and ride newly rebuilt Monorail Red. They cleverly reduced seating capacity and made the windows so they could open only a crack. I assume this was for safety reasons. The blower for ventilation was ineffective. They had to take the train out of service during the middle (busiest) part of the day.


The park was very busy and the weather was warm and muggy. Nonetheless, we had a good time.


I'll post more on my Park Trains page at the end of next month. I took this image at Downtown Disney Station.
