As I've suggested before, contract with Amtrak to maintain electric locomotives for PVD line, and have Keolis maintain the locomotives and trainsets for the Downeaster. Using ALC42E locomotive sets might allow trains to use non-electrified station tracks and limp home to Boston Engine Terminal for m...

Will BART be able to make use of these early arriving cars to avoid high end-of-life maintenance costs on an existing fleet? Or are they ending up scrapping fully depreciated cars to make room in a yard for new cars?

Plop them wherever people complain less about the creosote fumes?

It's really good; some of them should be changed!

What is State Rep Smith's agenda? Pro-trail or pro-rail or pro-snowmobile? You don't launch a study without having a direction you want it to point in.

What is trirail's load factor? Implied in the previous post was that Brightline has lower operating cost than Trirail, which you ...

I like maps too. When I saw the line to Montreal it seemed like a "jump the shark" moment until I read "proposed future motorcoach", which actually seems plausible. Perhaps this group can use the freight operator to supply maintenance & operating crews and a locomotive, and a...

Isn't HRRC still embargoing the BSRM from running passenger excursions from Lenox? Why has this been allowed to continue without some sort of intervention?

It says it is parked by godaddy. therefore it is being squatted by a speculator and the domain is for sale.

That's what they attempted to do, right? Drop off the passengers asap then get the train to the nearest siding. My point about the dispatcher/control center was they theoretically could have halted the other train. But there probably wasn't enough time or signal system visibility. Is there a radio i...

So, according to the rules, the operator at the front of the train is supposed to control the brakes. But that was not possible due to them being disabled. The rear operator obviously was unaware that the radio was out. Even though he should have been aware, I don't think the rear operator was negli...
