Transit fan sites hit the mainstream press

The D.C. Examiner this morning reports on transit fan sites. The story mentions my own Web site. WMATA officials say they are aware of my site but declined to comment.

The folks up in New York, who are paranoid even of snapshot takers, did offer a few comments about "foamers" generally.

There is a factual inaccuracy in the story: it says Pipeshaft has directions to "hundreds" of bits about Metro. I wish I had time to be so prolific: my database shows 115 sites total. 86 of those are stations, leaving 29 total vent shafts, traction power substations, etc. As usual, when I note these sorts of inaccuracies in news stories in which I have personal knowledge, I have to wonder how many errors are in stories that I have no knowledge about.
