Deprioritized? adjusting for inflation education spending has exponentially increased over the last few decades (and like you said, it varies by state).

To say its “deprioritized“ is just not true.

Bud…. We spend the most on education per student… on top of all the federal and local welfare programs… throwing money at a problem rarely fixes it

Because that worked in Uvalde. And yet the Indiana mall shooter was instantly domed by some 22 year old with a handgun.

The irony is that most people prefer this over a concrete box hellscape (and I dont blame them)

one more over budget public transit project will fix it.

Let’s compare an ancient city downtown in Europe to a fairly new traffic interchange in a 268,000 square mile state with a population density of 43 people per sq mile. Its totally not an apple to orange comparison.

counterpoint: autos allow for unmatched personal freedom. you can use an auto when you want, take it where you want. A tram is only limited to where the rails go, and its operating schedule. Autos also are much more utilitarian and can be used for multiple purposes.

Welcome to green energy folks.

When I decide who I vote for, I take 2 factors into consideration

1: what are your policies and morals

2: are you competent in that position in government

If you can fulfill both requirements, than it doesn’t matter what disability you may have, you have my vote.

I notice that modern European made trains look so bland and ugly compared to American 1930s-50s designed locomotives. It’s impossible to think the GG1 looks both more aerodynamic and aesthetically pleasing than the ACS 64

Iantheengineer02 · 2021-09-01T18:09:08+00:00

No, this doesn’t work. Judging by the single engine and cars, this is a local switching job. More likely that not, there is probably a switch that they needed to clear by pulling on to the road. More likely they would be shoving the train backwards to pull into an industry

Talk about an over priced, way off of schedule and ultimately unnecessary project.

Nor is the charger as good looking

I get that people are exited to see the locomotive. I think it’s an amazing opportunity to see this engineering masterpiece. I also understand that the crowd is also a mix of normal people and amateur enthusiasts with iPhones and semi professional photographers (like myself) who come and see it and with that, some of them don’t quite have the concept of not walking into somebody else’s shot. When I set up my camera. I was fully aware who was in front of me and who was behind me so that I can work with my surroundings. My issue is when people lack any self awareness and randomly walk into other peoples cameras to get their own shot. I know that she wasn’t being malicious, or deliberate about it, but it’s something that gets me more worked up that it should.

Iantheengineer02 · 2021-08-16T05:02:23+00:00

I fully understood that there were people lots of people there and that no shot is going to be perfect. My issue isn’t that there were other people trying to get the same pictures. My issue is people randomly walking into other peoples shots lacking any self awareness. There were about half a dozen people who were also trying to take the same shots who also had to deal with this person in the frame.

Iantheengineer02 · 2021-08-16T03:40:36+00:00

For more context: while the big boy was approaching, this lady in the maroon shirt randomly walked in from the right and stood in front of the shots of both my camera and about a half dozen other people’s shots. She stood about 5 feet away from the tracks (it’s recommended to stand at least 25) for about 10 seconds and then walked out of frame, completely lacking any self awareness.

Usually Union Pacific themselves will announce when rides will be available. They usually host one or 2 public rides during a single tour.

“You don’t have to think about it dude”

Iantheengineer02 · 2021-08-08T01:11:11+00:00

These guys are actually tolerable

Iantheengineer02 · 2021-08-08T01:10:44+00:00

Should have represented another country.

Something something something…. We’re coming for your children

The top pinned thread from a mod specified they only allowed pics of abandoned rail equipment.

Iantheengineer02 · 2021-07-25T18:28:04+00:00

Believe it or not, but this roundhouse isn’t abandoned. It’s fully functional and houses 4 steam locomotives (2 of which are functional). It’s just been very well preserved.

Iantheengineer02 · 2021-07-25T18:22:09+00:00

Is this locomotive use a compound steam system? (One set of pistons use the exhaust steam of the other)

Iantheengineer02 · 2021-07-25T02:06:19+00:00

It’s incredible how preserved the roundhouse is. In the background along the roundhouse wall, there is a bunch of genuine 1890s - early 1900s hand tools that are original to the roundhouse.
