note that ireland winters more mild than ours. always get a laugh when people point out how reliable the brightline units are compared to the amtrak midwest units. not much cold and snow in florida. the cold and snow are real problems that vehicle builders don't seem to grasp very well. hello tesla ...

Q-line Detroit had to shut down January, 2019. Batteries couldn't provide propulsion and heat in the record breaking cold. Trying to charge the batteries was also problematic. Good luck Chicago, I'm sure you will need it. https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/detroit/2019/01/31/qline-servi...

TY DaveO there's the colorado pacific line aka towner line. there's the colorado pacific rio grande lines, ex-san luis and rio grande. the latter gets that big power. I wasn't happy with my answer :( cxr is the reporting mark for the towner line so that unit should be for the towner line. cxrg is f...

so is this a stolen vehicle or taking the shortcut home from the bar?

they're going to move but don't know where. they've had time to formulate plan b and haven't. they're in a less than top dollar location. it's going to be hard find affordable commercial nearby. wish them luck but they put too much time in plan a which was staying put. edit: article in paywalled fre...

doesn't help that it's tucked in back.
in a shopping center that has seen years of stores rotating in and out as peoples' tastes changed.

you present a plan that meets all ordinance requirements and the council denies it, they get sued and will lose.

I'd like to think that I'm a bit older and wiser these days.

nah, you just get older. don't ask how I know.
