  2. In less than four hours, I'll be boarding the Acela in Penn Station. First I have to take a puddle jumper to Penn Station. (What's the rail term for a puddle jumper? Puddle splitter?)

    In Lithuania, a significant milestone has been reached on the nearly 9 km double-track section of the future European standard gauge railway: the completion of continuous rail welding using flash welding technology.

    Delivering a high-speed railway requires not only engineering expertise, but also close cooperation between project partners, rigorous quality assurance, and attention to every detail.

  12. Airlines like #jetstar in #australia charging for a carry-on bag for weight is highway robbery. These companies need to face regulations as well as stiff competition from #highspeedrail for travel between the Melbourne and Brisbane corridor.

    If your excuse is fuel and a tight margin then maybe you shouldn’t exist as a business and other options to support citizens traveling should be implemented.

    Found you on Erin O'Toole's show. Thank you for talking sense, putting fair criticisms on costs and expensive policies, but still pushing back on common conservative wants to just letting the private sector do whatever also.

  17. For those interested in such things, here is a set of scripts to extract and filter data associated with rail for the Islands of Northern Europe here github.com/anisotropi4/magpie. My thanks goes to @openstreetmap as this is based on their data.

    The GeoPKG file for the INE rail dataset is here github.com/anisotropi4/magpie/. This INE dataset includes a London Overground layer as visualized here, as I couldn't find this anywhere else.

  25. Spousey and I are going to #3DPrintopia this month! Even better, we're riding the #Acela to Philadelphia to get there! We booked business class tickets last night. I've never ridden the Acela, and I might be looking forward to the train ride more than the show.

  29. We are often told that high-speed rail lines cannot be used by freight trains, because of the wear and tear from heavy carriages. That does not seem to apply to the Perpignan–Barcelona route, where passenger trains at 300 km/h share tracks with freight trains.
