I'll see that and raise you a "nothing". I think there's a good chance that absolutely nothing comes out of this plan. They spelled Sean Duffy's name as "Duggy" on headline of the press release. Why are we taking it seriously?

Rumour has it that China will attempt a one off conventional rail speed world record with the CR450 on the Chengdu-Chongqing Central HSL. The current record holder was done by a modified French TGV in 2007 where it hit 574.8 kph.

CR450A and CR450B series trains spotted testing around Chongqing East railway station last week. These trains are the fastest conventional high speed trains in the world with a service speed of 400kph. Pictures by soliteor.

I am usually pro-labor but the LIRR strike is absurd they are already the best paid agency in the country and have tons of extremely generous benefits like 2x wages for working on 2 trains. and now they’re refusing a 4% raise? LIRR union is a perfect example of why US transit is so inefficient
Cash compensation for members of the five holdout unions averaged over $136,000 in 2025, according to M.T.A. figures, making them among the highest-paid rail workers in the nation.
Earlier in negotiations, the M.T.A. had also sought to eliminate a number of work rules that often require higher pay for certain tasks. The unions declined to do so.
For instance, if an engineer drives a diesel train at the start of a shift but is asked to switch to an electric train in the same day, the M.T.A. must compensate that worker with two days' pay. If, on the same day, the engineer is asked to switch from driving passengers to driving a train back to a yard for maintenance or storage, that worker is entitled to a third day of pay.
These penalty payments added almost 15 percent to the average engineer's compensation in 2024, the M.T.A. said.

Brightline under-reported truth in 3…2…1… The company has not had trouble attracting riders. March was its highest ridership month ever. It’s because it’s saddled with capital debit from building the operation. Debt that is normally assumed by the government for public passenger rail.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge. As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city. Tomorrow, we win it together.
Zohran, Tish James and Brad Lander lead a procession of hundreds walking across the Brooklyn Bridge at dawn. Tish James, Brad Lander, Tony Simone and Rita Joseph wait for the march on the bridge. Zohran at a packed press conference outside city hall, Tish James and others raising their hands in the air.

Privileged to join guests at Darlington station in the small hours of this morning, to welcome a replica of Stephenson's Locomotion No. 1 as it joined the Darlington-liveried @lner.co.uk Azuma train before recreating its journey to Stockton just as the original had 200 years previously to the day 🙌
An old steam locomotive formed of a boiler with two large driving wheels on each side, a long tall chimney at the front and an array of pipes and connecting rods.A modern electric train which is white in colour with a red and orange design applied centrally down its length, containing the word 'DARLINGTON', viewed from the front. The old steam locomotive described in the previous photo sits alongside. Viewed from behind, a group of railway engineers stand next to the old steam locomotive described in the first image for a photo. A large group of people under a cavernous, arched station roof, all looking into the distance as a steam train travels through. The station roof is lit in red lighting.
