A new thing Seattle and Dublin have in common: a phase when the rail transit network consists of disconnected lines.
Seattle opens a new light rail line tomorrow, connecting Bellevue to Redmond. It'll be isolated from the rest of the network until the next phase opens in 2025. seattletransitblog.com/2024/04/26/eas…
I desperately want to meet the guy that created a list of the American-led world order that includes San Marino, Liechtenstein, Malta, and Serbia, but not South Korea, Mexico, the Philippines, or a single Gulf State. Fascinating mind at work.
Ogg and Parker have always been so hell bent on ruining Lina Hidalgo, because Hidalgo proved you could win in Harris County without making the compromises of character and principle that Ogg and Parker have always justified to themselves as necessary.
@christofspieler @Zmapper You're telling me that managed competition can be a sophisticated tool for allocating risk & management incentives in institutionally varied environments, and that "neoliberalism" is not a monolithic Boogeyman?
So I was looking through some photos I'd been sent and found these. They're not dated, but they're very similar to Australian designs of the 1960s/70s, and Budd/Comeng had a close relationship. They also use the term 'deck' not 'level', which Americans don't typically use...
West Trenton: Train #5302 going to Neshaminy Falls is operating 18 minutes late. Last at Elkins Park.
Broadway & 28th St. one of my favorite stops because it’s one of the few or maybe only stops in Sacramento that I can think of that’s a curb extension and in-lane stop. It works great on Broadway with current traffic, speeds, and visibility.
@christofspieler @chrisoIIey Ah! I recognized the style of tile and tunnel to be in Philly, but was confused about what "Pennsylvania Station" would be accessible via tunnel (it sure isnt 30th Street lol).
@christofspieler The southbound Acela on #5 Running at this point in PENN interlocking means something got messed up and it had to use either track 7 or 8. That's a slow speed movement so it will lose a few minutes.

@isaac32767 @christofspieler Took me a minute to run through my head all the reasons why a Pennsylvania Railroad station would be on the Broad Street Line
