After noticing the painting, it immediately raised two questions in my mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Why would an artist choose Muni to represent speed?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Where would this &#8220;TJ&#8221; route go?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While I won&#8217;t attempt to answer the first question, I&#8217;d like to speculate on the second. The TJ Metro line has to connect all five Trader Joe&#8217;s locations in the city. That&#8217;s no easy task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My panel of subway experts concluded that the TJ route will consist of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tj_metro_line.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"338\" height=\"341\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tj_metro_line.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2313\" title=\"TJ route map\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tj_metro_line.jpg 338w, https:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tj_metro_line-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tj_metro_line-297x300.jpg 297w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 338px) 100vw, 338px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outbound stop is Stonestown. Trains head inbound along existing M line through West Portal and Forest Hill. A switch in the Twin Peaks tunnel takes TJ trains to a new side tunnel heading north under Masonic to an underground station at Geary.<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inbound trains continue north, turning east to a new California Street subway tunnel. All trains stop at a station under Hyde and California. From here there are two inbound routes. TJ-N trains head north under Hyde street to a terminal at Bay Street. TJ-S trains head south under Hyde to a connection at Civic Center, continuing under 8th St. to a terminal at Bryant.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sounds good, does it not? I&#8217;m getting hungry for cheap wine and frozen pizza just thinking about this. Better get digging, Trader Joe. I have a shovel and a ladder you can borrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The express checkout at the Stonestown Trader Joe&#8217;s features a painting of a Muni Metro train.
