CPKC Runaway video
FYI: The camera audio is not quite synced with the scanner audio. At 12:18 in the video background you hear BNSF crossing the ICE diamond right before the slide.

Question about CP 62 (Canadian Pacific boxcar)
A geometry car? Solar panels on roof? A beaver would look good on that boxcar.

(probably because W&LE doesn’t have PTC built in on their units?).

Court case eliminates Bayside Canadian Railway
The railway consisted of a single track of about 220 ft, two flatbed rail cars, one FTD Trackmobile railcar mover and a loading ramp.

Re: Derailment in Springfield, OH Today.
In my opinion, the FRA needs to shut NS' operations down until they can make new safety practices that the FRA can agree upon, and if the regulator doesn't like it, nothing moves on that railroad until the regulator is satisfied. Here's why: NS at this point is a threat to public safety with all of...

Re: Turkey earthquake - tracks shifted
Do railroads have Earthquake detection systems of any sort which automatically change signals to stop indications if an Earthquake is detected? To me this would make sense in areas like California where severe Earthquakes are more common. Caltrans uses USGS data to to notify Metrolink’s PTC that a ...

Re: G&W EPA Settlement, 88 locomotives to be destroyed
Does RLK 4001(GP9) operate in Canada for the last 20 years? How could this violate the US? If I was G&W I'd tell the EPA to go pound salt.

If you wouldn't mind, could you please elaborate as to why they're bad? I heard the toilet ventilation is akin to going into a porta-jon baking in the summer sun keeping the whole cab freshened. Not only do they rattle, they relentlessly squeak and croak with every little bump. Loud engine noise is...

Notably, the version passed includes the addition of 7 paid sick days annually, a provision not included in the PEB nor any further negotiations, a huge win for the Unions, if it sticks. So unfortunately, when the bill got to the senate, the provision to add the 7 paid sick days in got rejected. Al...
