Ron Pauls Friend posted:Nothing says tomorrow better than your mid-60's "modernist" HQ that looks just as in place in Jacksonville as it does in Moscow with a hammer and sickle on it. I hate that the communists built those atrocities in beautiful old cities in Eastern Europe. But that's pretty far off topic...

sincx posted:I am amazed that, in 2014, there are still passenger trains in the UK without automatic doors. The fact that the manual doors are opened and closed by passengers themselves is astounding. No agency in the United States would trust riders enough to shut the doors when they are supposed to be shut. That would violate the Americans with Disabilities Act I imagine.

It's hard to believe that planners didn't have the foresight to put hydrants on both sides. Well, maybe not that hard to believe.

Prague streetcars sometimes get off by a few stations too. I don't know what kind of technology they use.

It really would have been great. There's another episode where they try and chase a truck off road, the car gets stuck and lights the grass underneath it. Then...

Cygni posted:Also happening in Seattle where the First Hill Streetcar trains will use OHCS to go up the hill, and battery power+gravity to get down the hill. Unfortunately the trams (built by the Czech) are way behind schedule and the finished track is currently sitting and waiting. Cause like some of the posts above have pointed out, dualmode stuff is hard. Not dual-power but Seattle related, but I hate the sound of the South Lake Union line, at least from the inside.

I can't believe they spent the money to crash a train but put a small airbag between the two people.

What are the advanced brake systems that NTSB says could help reduce the severity of the accident? Also, what caused the auto emergency stop? Do the cars have electric sensors in their wheels?

I like the slow pan to reveal that there are no leading cars or locomotive. Is there any news article about this? I searched for "train IFV", "unattended IFV", "unattended train", etc.

While I want that too, a large public project should benefit the most needful population first, instead of rich coastal communities.
