Hey, to any accessibility experts, Would this be an acceptable alt text for this image or is more information needed?

"A photo of an LA Metro Gold Line train heading towards the camera away from downtown LA"

A tumblr comment from @romulousofatlantis which says "I\'m relatively new to accessibility for my job as an advocate for my college, but that seems alright. You might want to have a more general description like "yellow light rail moves towards the bottom right away from skyscrapers" to paint a more general picture for people who wouldn\'t know what downtown LA or the gold line would look like"

@romulousofatlantis I see what you mean so say something more like

“A photo of a Yellow LA Metro light rail train heading towards the camera away from skyscrapers in Downtown LA” to still make more the location clear while being more general

a-url-that-exists asked:

Amtrak can you describe your images please

Sometimes blind people are also train autistic

I can start doing alt texts if that helps, if it doesn’t help, I will start doing image id’s, I am sorry that I didn’t sooner.

Instead of showing stations that are accessible by wheelchair on maps, we should mark which ones are not to show how accessibility should be the default and is supposed to be the eventual end goal by law.
