Today is a holiday, Columbus Day / Indigenous People's Day, depending on how you see it. My union job has off today, so I assume the union jobs at Conrail also have off today, so I don't think we are going to see SA-31 today I also don't see how it would be impossible to have 752, 1888, and 2005 al...

Well the old CNJ tunnel north of White Haven according to my search is about 4,600 ft long and I don't think there's ever been any improvements to that, it seems like it was the same it was built in the 19th century. The rules are probably only enacted when building or re-building a line. Again tho...

Restoring the Cutoff will cause the loss of old, abandoned structures in some cases. Under the Clinton Gore administration, Gore led a huge effort to clean up regulation...

I don't care about the 24 feet, but losing the portal built back then. And while I get safety regs, having to chop 24 feet of a tunnel a tiny bit too long under current safety regs to not have a ventilation system does seem a tad silly. Regardless, it's a needed step to get more of the line back in...

I think if anything they would just move the current High Bridge turns to Bloomsbury, no need for an extensive layover facility. If they move out to Pburg/Easton. Then having a facility to start trains from would be needed like in the CNJ days...

They have shown up in the past but yes I suppose not that common. Will continue getting rarer as they are painted in CN or retired.
