Subways all around the world feel very insulted by this comparison.

I wish the "large" image was large enough to see the print. Kind of hard to appreciate without being able to see a more detailed version.

You can. If you click on it, it goes to the flickr lightbox page, from there click on "view all sizes". When that page comes up just click on "original size"

I get these as sizes:
Sizes Square (75 x 75) Thumbnail (100 x 67) Small (240 x 160) Medium 500 (500 x 333) Medium 640 (640 x 427) Large (1024 x 683)

No original size..do you have to have a Flickr account to see that link?

Thanks for the link. I didn't see that on the flickr page earlier, and the "large" just wasn't large enough to see anything. :)

The large size is 1024 x 683

the original size is 3000 x 2667

The original is almost three times the size or large.

That's rather elegant. The map, not the sand witch. The sand witch is nice, but not exactly elegant. I had seen something like this before but that is really interesting how they did the whole Amtrak system.
