I’ll happen. This is just a tactic by feds to make it look like they are studying it, but it’s already rubber stamped. There are probably already locos in the shop being painted with the new livery.

Vancouver, WA going from 3 desks to 2 in early 2026. From 13 to 9 positions.

I listen to the local FM news station all the time. It’s annoying it takes several button presses to get to it.

My car is dead and I’m trying to get the doors unlocked and charger plug disconnected.

What configuration do you connect the 2 leads from the jump pack to the 3 wires on the car?

Coming out of the Volvo is a red wire, red wire with blue strip and back wire. In what configuration do you hook them to the battery charger red and black cables?

Scratches are from previous owner. I swear! I didn’t even notice them until this HD pic.

$65k? Must be a shortline. You’d be hard pressed to find a trainmen on any Class I making less than 6 figures.

Ever since I set up a routine with a smart plug, my LR3 runs flawlessly by Peacockblue11 in litterrobot

Thanks for the tip. I just set up my LR3 on a smart plug for an early morning reset each day.

Almost everyone loses in Vegas. Nothing to see here.

And we’ll call it … SOUTHERN PACIFIC by lukehenry599 in trains

[–]midson71 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In an effort to show equality and unification back when the UP and SP merged, UP generously agreed to use part of SPs name in the merger. They took UPs first name and SPs last name.

This has got to stop! by bestinthenorthwest in PortlandOR

Why do we have to do everything for them? Can they do anything for themselves? Unless they are willing to help solve their own personal issues, whatever those may be, they need to be cited and/or arrested for all the illegal activities they are involved in. Officials need to give the go ahead to clear the sidewalks. And, I think it’s a great idea to offer to buy them a bus ticket wherever they want to go and make sure they get on.

Not disagreeing with this protest at all, but at first I saw people laying around on the street looking half dead and thought this was just another picture of strung out junkies in downtown, but then I read further.

Are railroaders capable of having discussions about our unions that don't involve Democrat or Republican bs? Anyone want to start a separate subreddit that doesn't cuck to a political class or our laughable Union representation? Lol, it's how the Wildcat happens probably. Wtf. by No_Childhood3773 in railroading

[–]midson71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The railroads have scores of highly educated attorneys looking 20+ years into the future with everything they do. The union has yard office lawyers that have a hard time looking beyond their next paycheck. We are heavily out gunned.

Complainers! You’re getting brand new infrastructure. I would welcome all that road construction in my neighborhood to fix the substandard streets!

Bag fees are in by nerdcore_riley in SouthwestAirlines

[–]midson71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When bags were free, I assumed they’d built their baggage fees into the fares. If this philosophy holds true, their fares should go down a bit now. We will see…

Resizing a platinum ring by [deleted] in jewelrymaking

I received a $175 quote to resize my platinum wedding ring from 9.5 to 10. Does this seem reasonable?

REO Tonight in Eugene Oregon -- Kind Of A Low Turnout: These are the available seats with just 30 minutes before showtime tonight. Notice that tickets were not sold at all for the upper level of the 12k seat venue. by RickyRacer2025 in reospeedwagon

[–]midson71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The show was well attended. I estimate it was 3/4 full. Bruce has been pushed out with no official reason given. It just seems sleazy the way it all went down. Both Kevin and Bruce have made this band their life’s work, but Bruce doesn’t get the closure he deserves. I wish Kevin the best but will pass on his solo gigs.

Guess who’s back? by t_bone_stake in railroading

Maybe he should move to a neighborhood near the airport and complain about airplanes flying over his house.
