Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 20hFinally got July ORD and August DFW numbers. DFW is pretty damn close to 2025 ORD numbers (<500k) while ORD's current year 2nd place stays strong. I could clearly see ORD taking 1st place (within the US at least) when the new concourse opens in a few years. 120

Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 27/09/2026No clue where or when this was taken (it was just sent to me without any info). But another one for the books. I'm thinking a weigh station or something? Presumably theyre taking I80 or I88 into chicago, but that has to still be pretty far west because I don't really recognize it. 2161
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Per stadler's press release, the actual unveiling of the set will be at 130pm on monday the 5th. Im unsure if it'll be viewable before then. 2243
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Certainly people have been posting about these (how often do you see a metra train on a highway) but i've had legitimately 0 luck via tiktok and instagram because the search sees "metra" and "semi" and just gives videos of metra trains hitting semis. Feel free to send anything to me if you see a vid 090
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 23/09/2026New videos from private facebook groups. I spent an hour of my morning writing a tool to scrape these. Not my videos. I'm going to turn these into a thread as I find them. From Jimmy Sienicki in "Chicago Metra" www.facebook.com/groups/26882... 1281
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 23/09/2026What the hell is it with Alibaba ETAs? As far as I can tell, theres some weird logic where they're adjusting for timezones on the backend but ALSO on the frontent, which leads to shit like this? 120

Reposted by Lettuce CatMarcus Nelson @marcuscnelson.bsky.social · 18/09/2026This is tragic. It's even more tragic knowing JTA has spent the last decade lavishly spending on a dysfunctional autonomous vehicle program of questionable value, that the public has shown little interest in using. For its troubles, Jacksonville gets to watch CEO Nat Ford pack his bags for Dallas. 312935
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 16/09/2026if you ever happen to find yourself at zaxbys wanting chicken tenders, do note that it makes more sense to get a kickin chicken sandwich meal than the bix zax snack because you get an extra piece of texas toast. usually the prices are the same but in plainfield you pay 30c more for less food lol? 260

Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 11/09/2026does anyone know if there is a universal programmatic way to label roads as closed? every single time there's a Cubs game. they close a trillion roads and all of the mapping apps panic because they have no fucking idea which roads are open and not 020

Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I never realized just how big global 1 is. Rough google maps measurements, but the site is almost 3x the size of the current BNSF + amtrak mains + amtrak yard (if you measure the whole thing). 020

Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 06/09/2026IMO overall the amtrak yard move will be more of a good thing than a bad thing (especially when you compare its to operations on the site a few years back) but theres something to be said about the immediate area being one of the only parts of chicago to mostly vote for trump. 1160
