@TristanB0 after founding a country on a rail system, and inventing time zones as a result, Canada has been derailing itself for years (yes, pun).

#London Waterloo has become the first major station in Britain to introduce regular dog patrols, with Cocker Spaniels Riley and Buster and Labrador Flo joining the South Western #Railway (SWR) and Network Rail Wessex security team.
The three dogs began a three-month trial this month, providing a visible deterrent and extra reassurance for customers. Their deployment is not linked to any increased threat, but forms part of wider efforts to strengthen security at the station.
The dogs are supplied by Alpha Canine Specialists, with Riley, 11, Buster, 9, and Flo, 10, making their final deployment before retirement.
Other security measures include body-worn cameras for staff, CCTV upgrades and outreach work with vulnerable young people. SWR has also received top marks in British #Transport Police's safeguarding accreditation for the past three years.

Reactivating local train lines is hard, cross border lines even more so.

'Sunset on the Rails'
Willows, Queensland, late in the day. The low sun backlights the dry grass on either side of the tracks, turning every seed-head silver against the orange sky. Grass has grown so thick between the rails that the line reads as almost forgotten, just two thin strips of metal pushing toward the treeline. A sign is visible in the distance but the track beyond it disappears into the glow. #likoca #australia #railway #railroad #photography -
Welded rail. How does a modern #railway deal with extreme ambient heat expansion without fishplates?

Network Rail and Southern #Railway have confirmed that the railway between Haywards Heath and Lewes will reopen to passengers on Tuesday 1 September, following the 13 August derailment.
Engineers are carrying out a complex recovery and repair operation, including removing damaged track and ballast, reinstating the embankment and track, and restoring signalling systems. Three derailed carriages and five others are being removed using two large cranes.
The site’s location near the River Ouse has made the work particularly challenging. Temporary foundations and platforms have been built to support specialist machinery, while teams work around the clock.
Before reopening, engineers will complete extensive testing and safety inspections. Network Rail and Southern have thanked passengers and local communities for their patience during the disruption.

#Photovoltaics are still running after a year under Swiss #trains
100m #photovoltaic installation on a #railway line open to traffic, inaugurated April 24, 2025 in #Switzerland. It's fair to say it went well; 48 #solapanels wedged between tracks have generated more than 19MWh
According to the company's CEO, Joseph Scuderi, more than 11,000 trains have passed over the #solar power plant without incident. There has been no impact on railway operations or solar generation.

#London Northwestern #Railway will host a seaside-themed summer fun day at #Birmingham New Street station on Friday 21 August, from 10am to 3pm.
Families can enjoy free ice cream, carnival games, character appearances, steel pan performances, face painting, balloon making and candy floss. Activities are available to visitors with a valid train ticket.
Visitors can also have their photo taken with Ozzy, the station’s famous bull sculpture, which was created for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games and unveiled at New Street in 2023.
GBR West Midlands integrated managing director Denise Wetton said the event would bring seaside entertainment to the city and give families free activities and treats during the final weeks of the summer holidays.

Railway bridge, built 1916, railing almost fully overgrown.
Two crossbars on rusted posts, remnants of the bridge structure.
Climbing plants and shrubs have wrapped so tightly around the metal that the structure is barely recognizable as a standalone form in places.
No isolating, no dominating, vegetation has taken over here.
Over a hundred years of railway history, now vanished into green.

Well, this is kind of neat. #railway's #railpack has support for #GleamLang. I was not expecting that. 😅
I still package all my things with #nix #flakes, like a madman. Still. It is nice to see these featured adoptions like this. 😎
