That's why it's named after Charlie! You will either be trapped inside & have to ride forever or doomed to never reenter!

Unlike the MA state government and their employees I am against wasting money, but can't see NH paying for a study of track conditions in MA. But if this is a NH led project I guess they would have to. If they forgo Nashua / Bedford/ Merrimack / Concord and only do the state line station in South Na...

Wonder if they will paint the 1741 in supposedly as-delivered bluebird b&m livery?

I really hate reading about the destruction of valuable infrastructure, whether they are the ELs in Boston or lines in NY or ME or MA or NH.

Assuming track was rehabbed to class 1, how long would it stay in spec? One of the good things about railroads other than Guilford/PAR or Housatonic, once something is rehabbed the capital investment usually lasts a while, i.e. "build it and they will (hopefully) come"

in the 1980s and somewhat into the early 90s, on MBTA coaches you could use the foot lever and flip the seats yourself. Since we no longer trust people to own guns or flip their own seats or drive their own cars, the coach manufacturer could install a motor in each seat controlled by a switch; After...

You can increase the span of the beams, reducing the number/volume of columns . You can't make the columns narrower. You don't want to rely on magic high-strength steel, this stuff has to last a very long time. Is there a way to have two layers of tracks? That or expanding the footprint of Penn Stat...

Requires work on both sides of the border, therefore there should be two studies!!

It's the New Math, lol. The pic of the corroded steel in the documents looks like they didn't do a full replacement 33 yahren ago

Nice! Do we know if the windows will open?

What do the Ohio Central coaches look like? In my mind, coaches should be wooden, narrow, painted the chromium yellow of the Cranberry Belt Line, or stainless steel. Engines should be black and steamy, or a vibrant non-faded blue with a giant B&M on them. Cabooses should be red of course, as the...

Nashua, manchester and concord at first glance appear to have bus systems too. Cannot determine Coast's farebox recovery from the small amount of financial information. I know this isn't bustitution.com, and portsmouth is off topic for nashua, but they can prove demand/economics with buses to demons...

By the time Seabrook's license expires in 3/15/2050 the T and NH should be ready to do something about Portsmouth service. Actually since it is less than 30 years the T better get started with a study.

According to what I read (here??) the reason they retired The Flying Yankee in the 1950s after running it 6 days a week for 20 years, was the parts availability and the lower reliability of the Winton 201-A prime mover compared to EMD's evolutionary successors. Or maybe it had something to do with M...

I love the video where the gantry crane is lifting long panels off of moving trucks, or lowering them. Why did they instal a new cement surface in 1990 and what did it replace, a steel surface? Also the video shows them reusing the existing piers - have those already been replaced over time? 1990 wa...
