Okay. Phoenix, Arizona (pop. 1,567,924) Columbus, Ohio (pop. 1,773,120) Las Vegas, Nevada (pop. 1,865,746) Nashville, Tennessee (pop. 1,550,733) Louisville, Kentucky (pop. 1,244,696) Have a look at the Amtrak system map, it's barely a skeletal service compared to the density of lines...

Good points have been made here so far. All trains in the US exceeding 79 mph are required to be equipped with cab signals or to a lesser extent (between 80 and 90), Automatic Train Stop. This also goes for slower trains operating around others exceeding 79. So yes, all trains in the NEC are...

My parents always expected me to go to uni. My father has always tried to instill the importance of a higher education and how it improves one's chances in getting a higher than average paying job. So, I've felt compelled to be where I am. For me, it's been more about discovering who I am as a...

It always amuses me how some people get so worked up over this sort of thing. You can't do anything about it, so really, what's the point? Relax.

Sure thing mate.

I saw the same thing in a German rail magazine. Pretty funny.

Hello, I figured I'd better reply to your GE comment here rather than drag that thread farther off topic. To answer your question, unfortunately, no, the GC does not roster any of the big six-axle U-Boats. I sure wish they did! Here's some additional information/photos of what they do have...

Count me in! I'm fortunate to live near one of the last railroads in the US to use a U-Boat fleet of any size - the Georgia Central. Every time I get to see and hear one or more of their U23Bs is a treat!

Boy, there sure are some nice people on this forum. Oops, did I waste bandwidth? :-)

I just found one. http://www.railexpress.co.uk/wordpress/2009/09/150909_03_large.jpg The one word that comes to my mind to describe it: homely. But at least it won't ying!

I find it a little funny that people are already mentioning the Powerhaul 70 and it has not even graced the rails of the UK yet. Or has it? Photos?

Thank you from across the pond. I find that era particularly fascinating. Looking forward to part 2.

If it's available to other parts of the world, I think you have every right to download it for your enjoyment, as the internet sees no boundaries. The moral issue is tricky, but I think that if you bought a copy after it's officially released, you're supporting the artist, which is what the real...

The current Caltrain terminal is located one block south of the original Southern Pacific structure. The long distance trains used that terminal. As for having an old station in the city centre, you'll draw a blank. The railways of San Francisco (primarily SP) never really went into the center...

Geographically, it does not make sense for Amtrak to run into San Francisco, based on their current service around Northern California. The south end of the Capitol Corridor is San Jose, and Oakland is the current terminus for the California Zephyr and is the Western end of the San Joaquin line...

That is quite correct. The densely populated Northeast Corridor is a little over half the length of the WCML. Normal speeds between Washington and New York for Acela and some Regional trains are 125 mph, much like the British lines described above. There is also the electrified Keystone Corridor...

From another Yank, hello postercommon, and welcome. The term we are looking for is signaller. In the US, dispatchers do the same job, overseeing train movements over a particular piece of railway. Where are you based, postercommon? I'm currently in college near Savannah, GA, and I'm wondering...

No. There is no such thing as its'.

There were four aircraft involved.
