Hey #TrainBubble and #MastoTrain friends, a couple of years ago I used the wonderful #NightTrain from #Munich to #Ljubliana but when I search now (for October) this connection is nowhere to be found. I tried #DB #SNCB #Trainline and #EUrail.

Does it still exist and where would I book it best?

In #Trains news:

Apparently #BNSF is spilling enough grain near Marias Pass that it will self-ferment, thereby acting as a brewery for the local bear (beer?) population.

(BNSF trains are then killing a handful of drunk bears every year, though, which is less amusing).

Well this is a fun mashup of my interests: characterizing noise in #LIGO #GravitationalWave observations from freight on the CN Hammond line (old #IllinoisCentral East of Baton Rouge, LA). LIGO's station is in Livingston, which older #MastoTrain fans may recall was the site of a toxic derailment in 1982.

I haven't tooted about #trains lately, so it's a good time to fix that:

Someone set up a camera to record every train that goes by their flat, then runs computer vision software to make elongated images and get speeds and lengths. I'm jealous! https://trains.jo-m.ch/#/trains/list
