Users of Baltimore's single subway line know about "gauge face angles". Tracks being out of compliance in 2018 forced the 15.5 mile line with its 100 subway cars out of service until the tracks were repaired. Ridership plunged. But in the big picture of the Baltimore Metro area the shut down of transit for 18,500 riders does not make a big splash. The interior of the 7000 series of WMATA's subway trains (Photo: Philipsen) DC Metro riders now had to learn about wheel gauges.

Looking back can be amusing: if you’ve been a design journalist for some 25 years as I have, you will have seen numerous trends come and go. In the mid-1990s, for example, some of my colleagues predicted a 'disappearance of things' in the near future, and this catchy phrase became a popular expression. People thought the onset of digitalisation would soon mean doing without physical objects and analogue storage media.

Or as Google Maps sometimes calls it for no apparent reason, “Illinois 110/The Kansas City-Chicago Expressway.” Locations of 1050 and 1125 West Van Buren (via Apple Maps).
