Anyone that knows me knows that I like trains. I have since I was little, and now that I can actually ride trains every day, and I’m talking classic street cars here, I’m in a virtual train paradise.

There are plans to expand these Museums in Motion to not only go from the Castro to Fisherman’s warf, but to go from the Caltrain station to the Presideo via the circa 1912 Fort Mason Tunnel.

This is all pretty exciting to me, and I’ve been looking for ways to help contribute to the culture of San Francisco. Some people help out with gay rights, women’s rights, or helping the homeless and drug addicted. I’ve chosen to help the transit system. I’ve sent off a $100 donation, which will be matched by one of the Market Street Railroad’s sponsors, then attending the MSR’s meeting on July 11th to see what is going on in the group. They hold their meetings literally next door to my apartment, so making the 6:30pm meeting shouldn’t be a problem.

So the next time you see some kid scratching a window on a train, or pulling out his felt tip marker, you’ll know that I’ll be the one possibly cleaning that up, or putting fresh paint on the side of the train, or calling you up at dinner time asking for $35 to go to the street cars.
