Reposted by BrakeCoachBlair Lorenzo / The Fox and the City @thefoxandthecity.com · 14/09/2026Other cities spend large amounts to build through-running tunnels, to amazing effect. New York, by contrast, currently doesn't utilize the through-running tunnel it does have. Greater NY needs to learn from other regions and work to create truly regional rail. www.etany.org/reports/thro...etany.orgThrough-Running: First Connections — Effective Transit Alliance New YorkA phased plan for through-running service at Penn Station using Metro-North's Penn Station Access as a launching pad.

Reposted by BrakeCoachCalifornians for Electric Rail @calelectricrail.org · 04/09/2026You often hear that if only CAHSR had let the French take over, it would be built by now. They're on the team now, but what did SNCF actually say back in 2010? We did a deep dive into the French HSR operator's original proposal to set the record straight. 🧵 calelectricrail.org/the-true-sto... 415341

BrakeCoach @brake.coach · 19/08/2026Great to see this report is finally out! Had a great convo with @khyber.bsky.social & others at Transpocamp PHL after I presented about Seoul's subway system. It's nice that practices elsewhere can help inspire potential design ideas in NYC.
