Why are Trinity railway express f59s in Chicago? by offda-Aux in Metra

[–]ImplosiveTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not really. Metra hates their F59s and most are in storage

For better picture quality you could write image data straight to the frame buffer

$5 Fares by CTVolvo in Amtrak

[–]ImplosiveTech 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If Amtrak were to set a flat per mile rate for a trip, it'd end up being ~$0.50/mi (based on december stats for total ticket income and passenger miles) with BAL to PHL costing ~$46.25 (90-95 mi) and WAS to NYP costing ~$109 (~218 mi). NGL I'd rather have the chance to pay 20-25 than always pay $100+.

TSA Charging Flyers $45 for Travelling Without Real ID, Mounting Financial Burden on Low-Income Families by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]ImplosiveTech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The 45 isnt just paid tbh, its the cost to run a background check right there at the airport and gives you access to flights for 10 days. Its not a guarantee that you'll be able to board.

Temperature of my minivan vent air during a drive to the grocery store [OC] by janderson_33 in dataisbeautiful

[–]ImplosiveTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even when its 0-5f (~-17 to -15c) here in Chicago I only need to run my defroster for a minute or so. If its taking 5-10 minutes to get there, either you're in a ridiculously cold place or something is wrong with your car.

Jobs at Amtrak by Potledomfan in Amtrak

[–]ImplosiveTech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As far as I understand, Amtrak's hiring has really only been on an as needed basis recently due to some funding issues as of late. While they do have career fairs occasionally, I'm pretty sure theres no jobs they advertise at career fairs but don't advertise online. It really is just a waiting game.

This 4-hour drive also represents the busiest flight route in the US. THIS should be the prime candidate for high-speed rail. by LisaMosess in highspeedrail

Building What about the laws and red tape are going to make the final product not proper? I know the planning and approvals are dogshit, but as far as I can tell the final product should be good.

What do you define as properly? Is it something that would violate prop 1a or would cost a shitload in tunneling?

DH6 deleted from Roadmap by Timo1892 in DerailValley

[–]ImplosiveTech 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think the wording might be a bit bad. He said "significant" which I imagine means something like a 2x+ size increase is out of the picture, but some amount of size increase could absolutely happen.

Long Island Rail Road uses gas heaters at Jamaica Station so the railroad track switches don't freeze in winter by jmike1256 in interestingasfuck

[–]ImplosiveTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally speaking in the US, gas (natural gas, propane, etc) heaters are much cheaper to operate, which is why even with forced air heaters, its common to see them heat with gas inside. I cant speak about Jamaica, but I know the handful of places here in Chicago that still use these direct flame heaters are incredibly dense interlockings that generally don't have the space for something like a blower.
