I'll see that and raise you a "nothing". I think there's a good chance that absolutely nothing comes out of this plan. They spelled Sean Duffy's name as "Duggy" on headline of the press release. Why are we taking it seriously?

Rumour has it that China will attempt a one off conventional rail speed world record with the CR450 on the Chengdu-Chongqing Central HSL. The current record holder was done by a modified French TGV in 2007 where it hit 574.8 kph.

I am usually pro-labor but the LIRR strike is absurd

they are already the best paid agency in the country and have tons of extremely generous benefits like 2x wages for working on 2 trains. and now they’re refusing a 4% raise?

LIRR union is a perfect example of why US transit is so inefficient

Brightline under-reported truth in 3…2…1…
The company has not had trouble attracting riders. March was its highest ridership month ever.
It’s because it’s saddled with capital debit from building the operation. Debt that is normally assumed by the government for public passenger rail.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

The combination of a sunset and the flag looks like its burning! 🔥

The aggressively "digital wrap company" aesthetic of this looks ultra cheap, and honestly kinda disrespectful to veterans because it's tasteless.

That "honoring all of served" sign is fash too.

0/10 strip it and try again.
Today we're unveiling our eighth locomotive in Metro-North’s Heritage Series—a moving tribute to our nation’s veterans.

Created and designed by Metro-North veterans, this locomotive embodies gratitude to those who have worn the uniform, both within the Metro-North family and across the country.
