  1. Hey #TrainBubble and #MastoTrain friends, a couple of years ago I used the wonderful #NightTrain from #Munich to #Ljubliana but when I search now (for October) this connection is nowhere to be found. I tried #DB #SNCB #Trainline and #EUrail.

    Does it still exist and where would I book it best?

  2. In #Trains news:

    Apparently #BNSF is spilling enough grain near Marias Pass that it will self-ferment, thereby acting as a brewery for the local bear (beer?) population.

    (BNSF trains are then killing a handful of drunk bears every year, though, which is less amusing).

  3. Well this is a fun mashup of my interests: characterizing noise in #LIGO #GravitationalWave observations from freight on the CN Hammond line (old #IllinoisCentral East of Baton Rouge, LA). LIGO's station is in Livingston, which older #MastoTrain fans may recall was the site of a toxic derailment in 1982.

  4. I haven't tooted about #trains lately, so it's a good time to fix that:

    Someone set up a camera to record every train that goes by their flat, then runs computer vision software to make elongated images and get speeds and lengths. I'm jealous! trains.jo-m.ch/#/trains/list

  5. "Chuis dans un train où y a des gens qui ont l'accent suisse", explique un gars au téléphone. Crois-moi ou non, jeune homme, mais c'est plutôt normal puisque tu te trouves en Suisse dans un train suisse! #mastotrain

  6. Does #MastoTrain exist as a hashtag? Or #TrainStodon? Anyway, moral of the story is that the Amaterasu Railway is running their engines on old Ramen broth (or the fatty parts of it, more accurately), so the exhaust smells like fried rice -- and OH BOY do I have a new place to visit!
