I see it all the time in the ag industry. A lot of it boils down to that even though one company is assembling a unit, whether it be a tractor, train, car, truck, whatever, the parts they're using to produce the machines are procured from hundreds to thousands of vendors. Bulbs can be produced from ...

Just felt an aftershock about five minutes ago (6PM EST), so that was fun

The shocks here in Pine Plains were short, only about twenty seconds, but enough to resonate fairly hard. Nothing fell off the shelves in the parts room, but you could see some hanging items sway and the counter felt like it was rocking side to side. Coincidentally, my wife used to work in Corning T...

Today was my first experience with an earthquake and I can confidently say I am not a fan.

My wife said she got rocked pretty good at the plaza in Albany. Railjunkie, were you working the yard this morning?

It rattled us pretty good upstate/Hudson Valley. My poor wife got to experience it from the 14th floor of her building in Albany. I thought someone drove into my building at work.

My wife and I took a View I bedroom from Boston back to Albany a few times during the pandemic to forego masking and to see how well we'd cohabitate in one for possible future overnight trips. It was pretty comfortable, my only real gripe with them is that the en suite bathroom is a little cramped i...

No worries Gil, I wasn't trying to come off as snobby when I posted that lol. I've personally only been to JFK twice on a roundtrip to Disney with my grandparents about twenty years ago. Getting there my uncle dropped us off around 3AM, coming home my grandparents (both Bronx natives that transplant...

Mr. Naugy, who has rails other than NYCTA, to JFK? The AirTrain has a direct connection with JFK from Jamaica. My line of thought was cutting out an additional seat for Empire Service riders that would want to fly out of JFK. I do know a lot of people along the route usually fly out of Albany, Brad...

I was thinking specifically Empire Trains, since they're already going that direction. The Regionals already serve Newark Airport directly, I think it would be cool for Hudson Valley passengers to have easier access to JFK in a similar fashion.

Pure fantasy, and I know this is going to get a ton of hate, but I think running some Empire Trains to Jamaica for a more direct JFK connect would be beneficial. Obviously not now with the current train configurations, but once the push-pull Airo sets come online and have the ability to change ends,...

I always used to laugh at my dad when he'd go on about the ten degrees of separation thing and how small the world gets as you get older. As I've gotten older I experience more and more (although I still laugh at my old man, keeps him on his toes). It's unfortunate that this coincidence for you occu...
