A friend of mine said a group of people were handing out fliers on the 4th of July in Southampton asking people to support a rails-to-trails project on the Newtown line in Southampton and Northampton. They have a website and facebook page: http://www.buildourtrail.org It appears the rail trail grou...

I am truly amazed that so many individuals utilize RR.net to highlight their most obvious shortcomings. My purpose in posting this information was to rationally discuss the issue at hand as opposed to discuss the players that have been involved with it. The simple issue is that when questions are as...

http://www.railroad.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=89723&start=15 I must say that I was not shocked to see the attached forum link above locked. All this bickering between railway advocacy organizations is unproductive. However, the evidence in the attached video is quite incriminating aga...

It is also interested to note that no person from DVARP has responded to the comments on this post...which may speak volumes about their inefficiency as promoting rail travel and investment. Or to their efficiency at not responding to not-very-well masked attempts to incite a reaction posted on a r...

This is very good news.

422 is going to be the same crappy, backed-up mess for another generation. (no tolls probably = no highway fix). The tolls were officially cancelled by DVRPC in October 2011 because of the pressure they faced. http://www.dailylocal.com/articles/2011/10/06/news/doc4e8db8b09e3d3712639109.txt It is al...

Hello all - I am not sure how DVARP's comment at PATEC concerning the failure of SVM/422 morphed into this almost ludicrous discussion of the future failure of the NPT, but it is getting off topic. I find it most fascinating and a little juvenile...coming from a country that has extensive and well-p...

There is a new article on wikipedia covering SEPTA's former diesel services. It is well sourced, so it may less of a wikipedia article and more of a good write-up Based on 27 (!) distinct citations of John Pawson's 1979 book, that Wikipedia page strikes me as more of a lazy high-school book report ...

I fail to see your logic. Why would advertising that businesses are located next to (or near) a discontinued rail line do any good for their bottom line? If manufacturing businesses in that corridor required a rail stub, they would have long since relocated near an active line, or petitioned SEPTA ...

Hello ChrisinAbington - I am looking this from the perspective of potential frieght customers in Huntingdon Valley, Southampton and Newtown who have perhaps never considered rail delivery as an option because the line has been out of servic for nearly 30 years. Has any customer asked the Newtown lin...

Hello my friends - i have a question, based on a similar question asked on a different forum found here: http://forums.pa-tec.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=156

- have there been any proposals for private freight operations, one that does not involved SEPTA to finance infrastrcuture restoration?

These are SEPTA owned corridors that were purchased on our dime that had their infrastructure removed by the special interests for the good of the few. Where do I get my tax refund for the rails that were cashed in that went to little Johnny's bike path? That is exactly right, my friend. SEPTA is d...

I wish for the same, bikentransit. Thank you.
