I wish I could get some type of amateur exposure to stuff like this... I've always loved huge trains, especially the ones used for freight. Unfortunately I don't know of any local real train restoration clubs or museums that I could get involved in, just lots of model train societies.

There really is no reason to be hit by a train other than negligence on the part of the person who got hit. Signals and gates exist because most people are too stupid to look both ways. There is a reason why busses and company vehicles "stop at all rr xings."

I really like in-depth court quality accident reenactments and analysis - anyone got any more like this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0nb1g3xXP4

Anyone been to the Maine Narrow Gauge Rail Company and Museum in Portland? My wife and I are taking a vacation to Portland this summer to visit a friend and get away and my wife found the museum online and knew I'd dig it. Looking forward to checking out 2' rail and visiting the museum. http://www.mainenarrowgauge.org/

It's pretty incredible how few train accidents we have given the scale of automobile and train use. The way you put that gives great perspective to the situation  .

McDeth posted:Senator Diane Jewstein's husband. You know somebody has said some egregious poo poo when you go to report a post and SA is like "gently caress dude we know." Regarding the electromagnetic tube I think that it's a great idea that needs to be tested somewhere that doesn't have the massive bureaucracy of California. Rather than the LA to San Francisco distance and logistical problems they should look into something more economical like between RTP and Charlotte. Lots of tech infrastructure and 21st century money. Being able to live in Charlotte but work in RTP would be incredible and would make the commute like 20 minutes over the default 2.5 hour car ride. This type of technology is brilliant but it has to get its foot in the door without necessarily shooting for the moon on the first try.

Since that pretty much gives away my name/occupation let's keep that info on the DL Do you have a tumblr or instagram account? You've got a great eye. PM me if you do (if you want to keep your account discrete).

Brother Jonathan posted:Those people crawling through the train remind me of a Great Northern Railroad safety video from the 1940s: Why Risk Your Life? It is horrifying how dangerous the railyards were back then! It only took six and a half minutes for the video to reference hobos and tramps  I love the 1940's.

IPCRESS posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWwencgdvwI seems appropriate. So using an Indian accent for the terrorist train and framing this with Islamic spiritual music.. classy.
