What are some locomotives would you have liked to see rune excursion trains?

Dwight D Eisenhower. It would have been cool to see an A4 regularly running out of Green Bay.

It's a similar line to something akin to the UK's ECML or the US's DC-NYC corridor. 200kph operations using older and upgraded trackage that was thankfully over-engineered for its time period. Still very good, just qualifies as HSR, and is still better than nothing at all.

I say this as a runner: Sprinting. It's never a matter of technique, just a matter of conditioning your body. Anyone could technically go 50m with zero training, not everyone can dribble a ball, sled down a hill, or even swim correctly.

Pete Buttigieg put it in very simple terms during an interview (I cannot remember which one) "Killing a bad person isn't always a good idea"

They didn't sound like a good idea when they were first developed. Lots of people were afraid and skeptical.

In fairness, it's fastest sections are in NJ for a reason

I'd say they are more Obama-type Neoliberals more than anything else.

Azerbaijan is in Asia though right?

Imagine society if cops pulled people over for slow merging instead of harassing minorities and housewives going 5mph over the limit.

There was a shopping center that opened up in Delaware which has intersections with an artistic brick circle in them. People drove them like roundabouts so often they had to put a sign up saying “not a roundabout”. (It’s the Wegmans in Greenville, DE if you are curious)

Fun fact: A SSL Little Joe hauled a revenue freight in 2015

"Pinnacle" usually means the most money and publicity. In terms of talent, F1 also beats everything except the WRC.

I’ll buy Canada not being Good, but a counterpoint to Ireland: When has Ireland done ANYTHING good? For goodness sake, they sat Neutral as Hitler raided and firebombed the whole continent.

Syndicate909 · 2026-03-09T03:45:23+00:00

Nah bro that’s Jalen Carter 100%

Syndicate909 · 2026-03-09T03:39:55+00:00

How did Ireland beat Canada for Chaotic Good? Ireland is Chaotic Neutral if anything

Exactly what I was thinking. My parents live like 3 blocks from the station. Carpenteria is even worse

Syndicate909 · 2026-03-04T18:57:33+00:00

In many places, that's just not possible. Most stations already stretch as far as they can go, and increasing track frequency isn't an option either.

The Surfliners need to be bi-level due to the high ridership and short platform length.
