  1. There's been a helicopter hovering low a block or two from me for the past hour. I eventually realized it's doing some sort of inspection of the rail line that's a block away. (Look at that zoom lens the guy in the back seat has!)

  5. Today’s family outing was to the #railroad #museum in Capreol. We had an insane amount of fun crawling all over the #caboose, railroad cars, and engine they had on display.

    I was especially mesmerized by the mobile school, which could be pulled between remote communities, spend a week running classes, then leave homework and move to the next community.

    Also impressive was the special car, an insulated vessel, that can hold copper in molten form for 4 hours for transport.

  18. The railroad bridge of Aq Qala ( اق قلا) is one of the oldest bridges on Iran dating back to Safavid dynasty (16th-18th century) and the key route for the Tehran - Mashhad trains connecting Iran to central and east Asia.

    The bridge was bombed yesterday by unknown attackers. There are reports of israeli drones operating from Azerbaijan or Turkmenistan were behind the attacks as US hasn't taken responsibility for it.
