Rail Life “Flickr Pic” of the week – Happy Birthday Tempe Town Lake

December 13, 2009 by Nick Bastian Leave a Comment

For many, it is hard to believe Tempe Town Lake is ten years old. For others, it feels like it has been here “forever.” The lake is a big part of Tempe and is a major draw for residents and tourists alike. This past weekend, many rode the light rail to the Tempe Town Lake […]

Rail Life “Flickr Pic” of the week – Full Speed Ahead!

December 6, 2009 by Nick Bastian 3 Comments

The Rail Life “pic of the week” took a little vacation for a while ( mainly because some spineless jerk hijacked the Rail Life Flickr account ),  but I have decided to begin again. I thought this cool picture was a great place to start with it’s “full speed ahead” feel to it. While many […]

Rail Life “Flickr Pic” of the week – ok to take bikes on light rail

June 7, 2009 by Nick Bastian Leave a Comment

We get a lot of questions from people concerning bicycles on the light rail cars. Each of the light rail vehicles have bike racks that hold four bicycles. In fact, bicycles are very common on light rail. When taking your bike on the light rail, you might want to keep these things in mind… Bicycle […]

April 19, 2009 by Nick Bastian 6 Comments

The artwork at the light rail stations is unique to every stop. The styles and sizes vary greatly and are fun to check out. I noticed this piece again on Saturday as I passed the University / Rural station on my way to the annual Spring Game at Sun Devil Stadium. In the background, you can […]

Get an early taste of Sun Devil football!

April 16, 2009 by Nick Bastian Leave a Comment

You probably know by now that the new light rail line will make it even easier to get to the ASU football games this year. Heck, there is a station practically right outside of the front gates which should help with some of the parking challenges of the past years. This Saturday, April 18th is […]

Rail Life “Flickr Pic” of the week – Lights on the light rail bridge

April 5, 2009 by Nick Bastian Leave a Comment

The award winning light rail bridge that travels over Tempe Town Lake is really cool. From these great pictures by our Flickr friend, disneybrent, you can see how beautiful it is when lit up at night. I don't think many people get a chance to see the bridge as captured in these shots. To see […]

March 22, 2009 by Nick Bastian Leave a Comment

Take a hike, a walk, a stroll or what ever you want to call it but the very first Rail Life hike at Hayden Butte ( “A” Mountain ) in Tempe was a LOT of fun. Many of our good friends came out to enjoy a really nice Saturday morning get together with the common goal […]

Rail Life “Flickr Pic” of the week – Safety overload

September 28, 2008 by Rail Life Leave a Comment

Metro has asked that people try to help spread the safety word. This past week, we went downtown and took some pictures of a few of the new safety signs and some changes in the road ways that people should be aware of. With all of the testing going on, they are still in a pretty […]
