Well Mr. Lensovet, you certainly appear to be an EV devotee. I did ask the Hertz people how to set my side mirrors; they set 'em and I had no reason to touch them again during the 75 miles driven, 24hr rental. So far as where was the FM radio, after I took Hertz's time with the side view mirrors (th...

First Mr.. Henry,, it appears that the Sun-Sentinel now paywalls their copyrighted material. I do not blame any publication for doing such. Nevertheless Gannett's Treasure Coast Newspapers still has open material. Here is their story regarding a new bridge for FEC and Brightline over the St. Lucie R...

So long as we're swapping flight stories here (after all, aren't we discussing plane to train transfers?), mine was during '15 to visit with my Niece, who resided in the Bay Ridge area of Brooklyn. She said "oh just fly into JFK and take a cab". Well, even though my usual United had no ser...

I stand enlightened, Mr. Naugy.

I only thought it connected with Duke Ellington's train at Howard Beach, which is where I once during '15 rode it to JFK.

I had no idea it also connected with the LIRR at Jamaica, but it seems like the other participants in this discussion did.

Mr. Naugy, who has rails other than NYCTA, to JFK?

No question whatever. the demand for EV's is starting to "run out of juice". If EV industry leader, Tesla , is having "issues", then "let's not go there" with the other players, such as King Henry or Miss Mary (and NO, I did not bump into her in the elevator two weeks a...

Mr. Wolf, the relatively new L&N station at Mobile was chopped down after Sunset East "sunsetted". The G,M,&O station stands, but is now headquarters for the Mobile municipal mass transit agency, i.e. busses.

Sorry to have "ruffled anyone's fearhers" for referring to any paid promotional material as propaganda. Such appears to fit a recognized definition of propaganda: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/propaganda#:~:text=%3A%20the%20spreading%20of%20ideas%2C%20information,a%20cause%2C%...

Welcome to www.maritime.net; the domain name appears to be open at present. What I think we all can realize with a review of this topic, is simply the volume of business ocean shipping represents. While much, and likely the majority, of the containers move to their final destination by highway, it c...

And so would many others at every other city and town along FEC corridor. But with a stop at every city or town along the way, the train will no longer be a high speed train. Ron, speaking for myself, it was certainly "sport" to take a Brightline joyride last February - including, I think...

While primarily focused on the Seven Mile Bridge as a highway bridge, there are within this video some interesting factoids from its days as a railroad:

This interesting Journal article shows how efficient by means of their size, Container vessels have become. The m/v Dali is (presuming it's returned to service and not broken up) is only a medium sized vessel - and consider the damage, disruption, and fatalities it has caused. A final note, watercra...

A radio report today stated that seventy busses were needed to handle the Carnivale passengers and their baggage. 70 busses × 40 passengers on each bus = 2800 passengers. Wow, where's there room for "love" on that "Love Tub"? But to the point 2800 pax/70 pax on an A-I = 40 A-1's,...
