#highspeedrail — Public Fediverse posts

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.

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.

Weekly output: NextGen Acela, Evernote V11, Verizon CEOs, RGB LED, screen time, Cranky Dorkfest, Verizon buys Starry, AT&T standalone 5G, TiVo DVRs

This week will have me crossing a state off my states-visited list for the first time since 2009–Wisconsin, where Oshkosh Corp. is hosting a press day to show off its government and industrial vehicles, including the U.S. Postal Service’s new and behind-schedule duckface trucks. I don’t have a good explanation for why I had not set foot in that state sooner and can only apologize to America’s Dairyland for the extended oversight.

10/6/2025: Amtrak’s new Acela trains can’t keep up with high-speed rail, Fast Company

After taking the new trains to and from New York at the end of August, I had ambitions of writing this story much faster than I did–sort of like how Amtrak had ambitions of getting the new train into service much sooner than it did. But getting the level of detail that I wanted about the railroad’s plans to upgrade the power infrastructure along the Northeast Corridor took more time than I expected.

(I included the full text of Amtrak’s detailed explanation of its plans to improve the catenary along the NEC in the commentary-enhanced version of this post that I published early on Patreon.)

10/6/2025: Major Evernote Update Taps AI for Search and Transcription, But Not Writing, PCMag

I had about an hour Friday to quiz Evernote product lead Federico Simionato about Bending Spoons’ plans for the note-taking app that it bought in 2023, and which I’ve used since 2010–so of course I took notes in my Mac’s copy of Evernote while using the Android app to record our conversation for subsequent AI transcription.

10/6/2025: Verizon Hot-Swaps Current CEO for Ex-PayPal Boss, PCMag

I don’t usually cover C-suite departures and arrivals, but I had some free time. And Verizon’s new chief executive Dan Schulman has a sufficiently interesting backstory–see the New York Times’ interview of him in 2008–that I told my editors I could pick up this item.

10/7/2025: RGB LED Is Getting Its Time in the Spotlight. Will TV Shoppers Tune In?, PCMag

I started writing this post at IFA–the first version had a Berlin dateline. But then I got sufficiently sidetracked and got in enough reporting after that tech trade show for the piece to evolve from an event recap to a broader assessment of a tech development.

10/8/2025: It’s Not Just You: Parents Everywhere Struggle to Set Screen-Time Boundaries, PCMag

Pew’s data about the level of technology use respondents to its survey allowed among kids 12 years old or younger made me feel slightly better about my own attempts at digital parenting.

10/8/2025: What happens when online plane enthusiasts meet up IRL?, Fast Company

This recap of Cranky Dorkfest 2025 was easily the most fun that I’ve had with a story since the last time I went to Florida to see a space launch.

10/8/2025: Verizon to Buy Wireless Broadband Pioneer Starry, Fold It Into Its Home Internet Service, PCMag

Writing this sent me back a ways–both to writing about Starry in its early days, including a December 2017 feature for Yahoo Finance, but also to covering Starry founder Chet Kanojia’s previous venture, the local-TV-streaming service Aereo that the Supreme Court put out of business in a dubious 2014 opinion.

10/9/2025: AT&T Switches on Standalone 5G Nationwide, Unlocking Future Network Slice Services, PCMag

This post also covers Verizon’s advances in standalone 5G, about which that carrier has been quieter than AT&T and T-Mobile.

10/9/2025: Time’s Up for a Timeshifting Trailblazer: TiVo Discontinues Its Standalone DVRs, PCMag

I would have written this much faster if I didn’t get sucked down a rabbit hole of old TiVo posts and reviews, followed by my checking my own TiVo purchase history.

#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
