"Silverpilen
("The Silver Arrow") is a ghost subway train that haunts the Stockholm Metro, according to an urban legend circulating in the Swedish capital Stockholm. The train is usually referred to as being composed of silver model C5 cars. Only one such train, composed of eight cars, was built; it was manufactured in the mid-1960s as a test and taken out of service years ago and replaced by more modern cars." ...more - Wikipedia

This post is dedicated to MrJ who is being haunted by ghost trains.

Link Dump: Film Noir, Kapow!!, Russian Posters & Stewardesses


Josephzohn presents a couple of nice film noir links. First check out a site about French posters for American film noir and then click for a blog about film noir suitably called "Noir of the Week" and its archive.




Bibi comes up with this suggestion: "Museum of Russian Posters". It is more or less a repost at Martin Klasch - in June we publishes a post for this Flickr set containing all (?) of the posters from the mentioned site - so if you'd rather watch it at Flickr...




Mr Dante wants us to look at some cool screenshots from Batman: The Movie (1966).WHAP! KAPOW! THWACK!




Kane (The World Of...) has served us with a number of cool posts the last couple of weeks. He pays attention to designers, photographers, illustrators etc: Irving Harper. Alvin Lustig. Paul Rand. Frank Habicht. He also takes us on a trip with airline stewardesses, airline design and identity and Braniff ads.
