I never knew the Swedes as artistic trailblazers... but many of these works just floored me.
OT: Off topic but these pics are too cool not to share

the 4-y/o style), hate the floors and grafitti trains.
Are all the Swedish subways carved out of solid bedrock? =:0

That whole country is rock formations. In fact, one of the world's most incredible blue pearl granites comes from a quarry very close to the Swedish border in Norway. Baltic Browns come from.. the..ermm Baltic? They call it r=F8ck.
They can have it. It's as cold as the country in winter.
Does it roll?

How can you draw a parallel between the clown you're talking about and a country that manages to do things right. I am willing to bet that, unlike The Big Dig, Bechtel/Parsons Brinckerhoff didn't go near that Swedish project. That's why it turned out according to plan. Also, many of the newer C20 trains use Bombardier Transportation components, design and manufacturing. A wholly owned subsidiary of Bombardier Inc...a Canadian company. (I take a bow, hosers)
One report I read is that they have hired thugs to manage graffiti artists...'security personnel'...love it!
to, when quarried george
Bechtel, eh? Feh!
That's an aggressive name for a mild-mannered train company, isn't it?
Let's hope they "throw them under the train", as it were. ;)

It's the "art", not the choo-choos.
But it positively sings: J Armand Bombardier!
You do know that the emphasis is on the second and fourth syllables ("bomBARdiA"), right? ;-)
Bombardyay vs bombardeer
BRP International makes a bunch of really cool toys.
OK, bomBARdeeYAY vs. BOMbaDEER ;-)
