The train looks so out of place. Haha

safesyrup,

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

@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.

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.

Disappointed, I thought they were driving Saudi mechas.

NarrativeBear, w California takes first step in acquiring trains for High-Speed Rail

Hopefully the implementation is done in a well and thoughtful way, such as connected stations in city centers and outskirt towns.

It would also be nice to see these stations interconnected with transit hubs such as subways/trams/buses, and have a pedestrian orientation focus with cycle infrastructure included.

It would be a shame to see these station built outside of walking distance of any surrounding communities in the middle of nowhere with a carpark all around. Something similar to a Walmart Supercenter parking lot.

Rentlar,

You can see on the California government website where the current plan is to integrate with each part of the city. Many of the bigger population centres will have stations right at (what sound like to me as) major transit hubs. Unfortunately, the 2030 target is for operation between Bakersfield - Madera, so the parts around SF and LA will still take a bit longer than that.

JJROKCZ, w California takes first step in acquiring trains for High-Speed Rail

Nice! Implementation of high speed rail is needed to get the populace away from frequent wasteful flights

Electric trains with their network? Sounds fun

I wonder how Afro-Eurasia feels about being called old.

Sunshine, w Another American railcar chemical leak: White House urges Ohio residents to heed calls to evacuate

Regulate the lines and electrify them!

over_clox, w New World Train Electrification in Colour

Posted image is literally in grayscale (though the provided link is in color).

Sunshine,
@Sunshine@lemmy.ca avatar

Because the vast majority of the rail lines in the Americas are fossil fuel powered.

over_clox,

I checked your provided link, practically all the lines in the USA were orange, not black.

Sunshine,
@Sunshine@lemmy.ca avatar

That’s for existing rails you have to click the electrification option.

over_clox,

Lemmy preview doesn’t care about that, you literally shared the grayscale version and called it colored.

Sunshine,
@Sunshine@lemmy.ca avatar

Zoom in closer and you see the colour. Why are you so negative?

over_clox,

Not being negative, just telling you what I see. Also, you didn’t provide a color code, nor did you suggest phone users to zoom in.

Sunshine,
@Sunshine@lemmy.ca avatar

Yay, I get more criticisms.

That’s why I said colour in the title and phone users already know they must zoom in on map data.

over_clox,

You should declare that then, when practically the whole map is in grayscale. Some of us have piss poor vision, I’m at 20/500 vision myself, and my pupils are starting to solidify. Plus my glasses are tinted.

Also, why no actual color guide?

Vrtrx,

Here is the map again. And here is the legend with your color guide

over_clox,

Thank you. However, I still cannot see the colored areas without at least a few hints on where to look.

Vrtrx,

That’s because there aren’t a lot of electrified lines and America is pretty big. So in order to get all of America in the picture I had to zoom out but by doing that little details obviously get lost. Here is the link. This one should already be set to show electrification. With this you can zoom and look wherever you want

over_clox,

Thank you very kindly 👍

xep,

Yes, I think that is rather the point.

smokinliver,

Dont take that personal, I enjoyed your post and its really not your fault ppl cant even read map descriptions.

Thx for posting <3

over_clox,

Then you should clarify that people should check the link if they want to see the colored map.

No it’s not, zoom in on the north-east of the USA.

over_clox,

Thank you, very helpful 👍

abysmalpoptart,

I think the original poster posted this intentionally as sarcasm because there is so little color in the image. If you look at the original image and look at the USA North east near new york, you’ll see a few meager lines that are various colors (as well as a few slivers in south and central america, and what looks like a dot in los Angeles). This is showcasing just how little electrified rail exists in the americas.

It may not seem like it, but it is actually in color. I’m on mobile and am able to see it. If you’re not able to, it may be an issue with your app or method of viewing the post.

over_clox,

If you check the link they shared, it’s practically all orange, so they did not share the default view, nor a color legend to go along with it.

Jumuta,

yea ofc the map is orange, it’s showing the infrastructure type instead of electrification

yk how maps work right?

over_clox,

Not entirely, not when the map site just kicks me back to Lemmy when I attempt to change ‘Style’

abysmalpoptart,

That is correct, it isn’t the default view, it’s the electrification view, which OP inferred they were using (the title says electrification map). If you open the link, the orange is worldwide general rail infrastructure.

If you click the top right options button (the 3 line “hamburger” icon at the far top right, separate from the map layers), you’ll see an option for electrification. This is the map they shared.

The grayscale option actually only grayscales the territory, not the infrastructure. I hope this helps clarify the situation.

I do agree that a legend would have been helpful.
