The idea that this Big Boy was rotting in a parking lot in Pomona, CA for six decades until Union Pacific rebuilt every component to get it working again is actually awe inspiring.

Sorry if I used the word “rotting”, maybe “out in the elements” is a better phrase. Thetransitguy.substack.com

Cities are so much more alive when we give back street space to people and not cars.

My train from Providence to New York took 6.5 hours due to a downed power line. At Chinese HSR speeds, I would've been in Miami in the same amount of time. This country desperately needs to invest in its infrastructure.

The Northeast Corridor north of NYC is stalled by New Haven catenary issues, holding two DC-bound Regionals at Kingston. Yet, as people walk the platform and chat between the stranded trains, there’s oddly some beauty in this shared pause?

The original 8664 plan called for removing the ugly elevated portion of I-64 and replacing it with a surface-level Boulevard. Time to make this a reality.

The University of Kansas band learned the Algerian National Anthem to welcome the team before training. 🇩🇿 Absolutely incredible…

If Jurassic Park was built in the USA it would have to go in like Wyoming in the middle of nowhere, correct?

The richest men in the country’s history made their money from trains, now the richest seeks to destroy trains.

I’m in a place right now that’s so beautiful I’m probably about to make 50 posts about it.
