NarrativeBear, w Trains in the Netherlands 2024

I love how wide the platform is. Plenty of space for activities.

PanArab, w Old World Train Electrification in Colour
@PanArab@lemmy.ml avatar

The new Etihad Rail isn’t electrified?! Shame…

Sunshine, w [Petition] Restore the Vancouver Island Railway for citizens, tourism, and Freight!
@Sunshine@lemmy.ca avatar

The signature number is pretty high!

over_clox, w New World Train Electrification in Colour

Grayscale ≠ Color

f314,

That’s kind of the point: if you zoom in on the East coast you can see some color. This just really effectively shows how little of the rail network is actually electrified.

over_clox,

And isn’t one of the points of Lemmy and the fediverse in general to help those with vision deficiencies?

Like, describe the image, offer a color guide, suggest zooming in?

f314,

Sure, OP could easily have done a better job with accessibility!

h3mlocke, w California’s new electric train makes for a shockingly better trip—we tried it

Ha! “Shocking” I get it!

nokturne213, w Inside America’s First High Speed Rail

I would love a train from Albuquerque to Denver. Currently for that trip you have to go through Chicago.

espentan,

Holy cow, now that’s what I call a detour.

mercano, w Mt Washington Cog, 150 year old steam engine
@mercano@lemmy.world avatar

If you go, pay attention to the schedule. They still run one steam loco per day, so two round trips, but most runs up and down the mountain are powered by the biodiesel fleet. The cog railroad dieselized to reduce operational & maintenance costs, and to reduce emissions. Parts for the steamers were getting hard to source, and while the coal smoke coming out of the steam locomotive makes for good photos, it’s not always the best image, if you know what I mean.

Lost_My_Mind, w How much does it cost to build a shortline railroad?

Not that I have millions of dollars lying around

Guys, he’s lying. He TOTALLY has millions laying around.

Schlemmy, w Brita, any way an American can watch this?

Hello guys, our show today is sponsored by insert name VPN.

zabadoh, w Locomotive EF6418 in Ekimae Jinroku Park, Yamanishi, Japan

As featured in anime TV series Yuru Camp S3, episode 10

Martineski,

The train looks so out of place. Haha

safesyrup,

I can see why, but I kinda like it :D

wtypstanaccount04, w Seibu 2000 series serving the Seibu Ikebukuro line as an express train
@wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net avatar

This is a fun series, but has been getting increasingly bizarre, even by its own standards.

I kinda wish they put a little bit more effort into the anime (overhead wires, signals, correct tracks, etc.) but the fact that it all takes place after the 7G event makes these issues handwaveable.

wtypstanaccount04, w Abt System Train on the Oigawa Railway, Japan
@wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net avatar

Ironically the abt system isn’t in the main photo

zabadoh,

You mean the special toothed tracks? Yeah, I couldn’t find a good photo with both the train and the tracks.

lntl, w Public Ownership of Rail Is on the Agenda. Here’s What It Could Look Like.

same as the interstate highway. federally owned alignments, rails, signals, etc enable private operators to offer transport services based out of private yards

@lntl @Rentlar Why is how the public ownership of railways could work a hypothetical in the US?

Many countries already do this right now.

Here's a link to the Australian Rail Track Corporation: https://www.artc.com.au/about/

It's owned by the Australian Federal Government, owns rail track infrastructure, but doesn't operate any freight or passenger services itself.

Here's a link to VicTrack: https://www.victrack.com.au/

It's owned by the Victorian state government, owns rail infrastructure in Victoria, but doesn't operate any freight or passenger services itself.

Rentlar,

It was that way in the US and Canada before too (Conrail and CN specifically). There’s no good reason it couldn’t be feasible today.

If you are in NA, get the word out to your people you know, then direct it to state legislators, congress people, MPs, MPPs.

Fixbeat, w Women drive fast train to Mecca as Saudi workforce evolves

Disappointed, I thought they were driving Saudi mechas.
