bit of two projects i, larger 5-7 store apartments on the west side of main street and in the large parking lots, towering apartment building. maybe in a similar style of the near by Rj Reynolds building

Josephtheredengine|ACAB @newspaperbootla.bsky.social · 13/07/2026
another a few blocks away that could easily be a larger apartment block with an aim at housing families going to the nearby school and teachers

been thinking about redeveloping Winston-Salem and just really think this parking lot could be rebuilt as a building with community space and a lounge for people taking the bus, and a series of apartments on top, just topping off a few floors above the Marriott

The station is really cool, but unfortunately, it's a bit far out of town and is on the wrong track for the Canadian trains that go through the area. Maybe if they do the Detroit to New York and more Empire Service trains, it would be worth reusing it

Still mad Gotriangle Commuter Rail got delayed, especially given how it probably would make a half decent Regional Rail service vs being a traditional Commuter Rail service

learning about history sucks sometimes because you will seethings like this replaced with busses because someone wanted to drive a car

Winston-Salem is cool but god we need to build more housing in place of the parking lots and more transit. Like imagine if the surface parking was 6 story buildings at least.

hell, most of the lots outside this train station is just parking lots! how is there not a bigger push to fill in our cities for people!

Josephtheredengine|ACAB @newspaperbootla.bsky.social · 28/01/2026
for example, take this random parking lot that i totally don't pass a lot. you could fit a 200' ×500' building in this area but no, it's the place for the thing much more important than humans, the car.

it's so weird that @ncdot.bsky.social is building up theses plans for a giant fuck off big highway to get people into Charlotte that will take out people's houses when they could take a few existing lanes and run commuter services instead

Say, maybe instead of designing the line to pull people in from suburbs and into a city, it transfers through multiple cities, multiple suburbs and runs a regular service throughout the day?

On the regular "Joseph thinks up something silly" Amtrak working with Septa, Marc, and whoever else owns this trackage to make a second nec for added capacity and helping doing overhauls on the ex pennsy wires. Although you probably would want to electrify this too.

First Train north after the Panther's win today, the next train seems to be sold out. Seems like if we start playing good it might be a good idea to run more Piedmonts?

Josephtheredengine|ACAB @newspaperbootla.bsky.social · 11/11/2025
think it would be good if both projects got off the ground together and any stock purchased would be identical between the two systems to save money and have a better interconnected parts supply, maybe something from the Lexington Siemens facility?

Josephtheredengine|ACAB @newspaperbootla.bsky.social · 08/11/2025
drew up a sorta basic idea of 3 different lines based around PART bus service, a red line from Clemmons to Greensboro, a green line from Winston-Salem to Lexington, and a blue line on the NCRR between Burlington and Lexington. Service already exists on the Blue line in the form of the Piedmont and

Charlotte is finally getting rolling with their commuter rail and i think both the triad and triangle should take note and push for some Regional/Commuter rail

Someone else suggested "The Silver Comet" for the Washington to Raleigh train, named after the old seaboard train

Still find it funny that Cincinnati owned this and just sold it to Northfolk Southern.

guessing eventually a. ncrr gets electrified (is state owned) and b. this project goes through just off of the need for people to get around an area with massive growth and i just get to trainwatch something like this passing the new airo sets.

Really annoying this near perfect regional train project got sidelined. The Piedmont/Carolinian is nice but just imagine more regular and expensive service on the ncrr.
