  2. "Every European railway network faces the same challenge: cutting wildlife collisions without permanently locking animals out of their natural corridors. Blue Sentinel was built to solve this."

    That's great. It's important to protect and respect wildlife.

    Also, in general, I'm super glad that rail travel is making a comeback. It's better than ever, too.

    Unlike every single commercial airplane that pollutes the environment the moment it takes off, eco-friendly trains that run on solar panels or batteries or non-polluting fuels or simply electricity from sustainable sources
    are constantly introduced on railways all over the world.

    Most importantly, trains they don't rob travellers of the simple pleasure of looking out the window and taking in the sights. Travelling should be a pleasant and memorable experience, and trains have consistently delivered just that for the past hundred years. 🚉 🚈 🛤 🚞 🚆

  6. It's about that time of year.... has anybody seen Metro-North's LASER TRAIN out yet?

    It uses lasers to zap leaves off the rails! That helps prevent sliding or braking issues for the trains, especially in wet weather.

    It will be positioned behind an engine like in the photo and just running as part of the regular commuter fleet.

  7. Railroad tracks on Rt 38 south of Newark Valley -- so far as I know trains still deliver oil to a petroleum depot near Harford

  8. #Maine - #EasternTrail

    "The Eastern Trail is a 62 mile multi-use, non-motorized greenway, that connects Bug Light in Casco Bay, South Portland to Kittery, Maine. Approximately thirty percent of the trail is off-road, and the trail is a part of the #EastCoastGreenway which will eventually connect #CalaisMaine to #KeyWestFlorida, approximately 3000 miles. The Eastern Trail is currently composed of 21 miles of off-road trails on the former Eastern Railroad bed with the remainder 41 miles on public roads.

    "The entirety of the Eastern Trail is built to ADA standards. The trail surface varies between pavement and stone dust/gravel. Most of the trail is 10-12 feet wide, with some sections with an 8-foot width. There is a 30-inch opening between the bollards at entrances to keep out motorized vehicles, but wide enough to allow access for wheelchairs.

    "The off-road section connecting Scarbrough to Saco privdes access to the 2200-acre Scarborough Marsh, which is Maine's largest salt marsh. Heading north on the trail from Pine Point (ME-9) or south from Eastern Road in Scarborough provides access to this 2.5 mile stretch of trail.

    "Heading south from Pine Point Road, the trail crosses the York County and Cumberland County boundaries and users can walk/bike from Scarborough, through Old Orchard Beach to Saco, where the current-off-road trail ends at Thornton Academy in Saco, approximately 6 miles from the Pine Point kiosk.

    "There are kiosks at 3 parking areas, that give some history and points of interest along the trail. For example, the Eastern Trail is built on the old Eastern #Railroad line that was built in 1840 and abandoned in 1945. Also, Charles Lindberg flew into the now abandoned Scarborough airport several times. And, a trestle once carried open air trolleys from the rail line to Old Orchard Beach for summer tourists."
