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 https://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 https://github.com/anisotropi4/magpie/releases/download/v2.2.1/ine-rail.gpkg. This INE dataset includes a London Overground layer as visualized here, as I couldn't find this anywhere else.

Frecciarossa starts trials for new links to Munich from Milan and Rome.

Trial runs of Frecciarossa trains in Germany and Austria are paving the way for high-speed links between Rome, Milan and Munich.

The first services are planned for summer 2027.

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.

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.

I'll allow Carney to take as many trips to Europe as he wants. He's good at crafting a message for the room he's in, so I expect to hear more encouraging "middle powers" talk.

Longshot: maybe he'll ride a TGV or two while he's there 😉.

lol, at least we Brits got as far as Birmingham.

It's all very pathetic though, we need more trains and fewer planes

Central Valley cities actively working against CA High Speed Rail, then citing delays and expense as a reason the project is unworkable. This is why big infrastructure projects are so difficult in America

For those interested in such things, here is a set of scripts to extract and filter data associated with rail from the full planet @openstreetmap dataset. The GeoPKG file for rail dataset is https://github.com/anisotropi4/magpie/releases/download/v2.1.1/planet-rail.gpkg.

This identifies railway features, line speed and electrification scheme based on metadata.

The associated source code and repository is here: https://

Italians may help Germany get its trains to run on time.

Non-Europeans relying on stereotypes are often bemused to find that nowadays Italy’s trains are tip-top while Germany’s are in chaos.

Opening up national markets has worked wonders for European railways

Will 2026 be the year Europe’s night trains finally take off?

A European night train renaissance has long been teased, but in reality, it has been slow to materialise.

New night trains are launching across Europe, but funding gaps and ageing infrastructure still threaten their revival.

#ForestCity in #IskandarPuteri, #Johor might be preparing to reserve land to create space for the infrastructure required for the #WestLine of the #LightRailTransit system & #KualaLumpur-Singapore #HighSpeedRail (#HSR)

Several transportation-related infrastructure projects are being developed in the surrounding areas in attempt to improve accessibility to and from Forest City

#LRT West Line & HSR are two of the projects with plans for stations in Forest City

@CarlMuckenhoupt Freedom and power to me describe different elements of goal-attainment.

Power refers to the active and instrumental element. That is, power is the specific capacity to initiate change.

Freedom refers to constraints on power, a sort of negative space. Freedom is the ability to act without inhibition, but it isn't the action itself.

So ... closely related, yes. Negative spaces, yes. Synonyms: no, though clearly closely related.
