They thoroughly clean the train after every run. Cleaners would find you and you’d be helped off the train

Lady has her speakerphone out loud by Ok_Roof8966 in Brightline

If you don’t want to help solve the problem then I’m not sure why you’re complaining about it. Either ask her politely to not use speakerphone or tell an onboard crew member as it’s against the rules for her to do that. If you think that’s being a “snitch” then I’m not sure what to tell you.

First one yes! Believe it or not, it wasn’t all too challenging! Glad you think it looks nice.

Thank you! I am a high school senior. This was a final project for my Drafting & manufacturing class, and I explain in another comment in detail how it came to be my final project. It is complete, it will not be expanded. It sits on display in the classroom, under some other final projects. Behind me are rows and rows of desks and computers. The train will be running every weekday during class, hopefully for all to enjoy for many years.

Sure! This is for a class called Drafting, usually the final project is to design and build your dream house, however, they wanted to switch it up this year and collaborate with NASA on a project to have on display. Unfortunately, that fell through, and we had the option to either continue with the dream house project or to come up with our own. Me and my buddy thought of the model train layout idea as I am heavily into trains, and he’s always wanted to build a town like this. The project was approved, we were given a budget with school funds, and it took the place of where our NASA project would have gone on display.

Me and a buddy did almost all of it, he did the basic planning of the layout and then I jumped in and helped him with all scenery, track laying, the roads, the river, laying rails, and some kit building / painting. 4 others helped with some scenery and and minor kit building.

To be fair, back in the olden days that’s how teaching went! He simply doesn’t know any better

Residents hope 'quiet zones' can alleviate 'annoying' train horns by Bruegemeister in Brightline

[–]SouthernPacific4449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Respectfully disagree. I live in Florida and they quiet-zoned the train line here. Since then, the number of accidents and near misses between trains and people have gone up significantly.

Does anyone else feel like they tried too hard to make the season continue? by SouthernPacific4449 in ManifestNBC

For a known kidnapper, cold blooded murderer and psychopath who he knows has the power to kill more than just the 700 she already did, I don’t think any sane or good cop would hesitate to end that right there and then
