JocelynCommuniqué #FNAUT : "#Électrification des #transports : le #ferroviaire ne doit pas être oublié
Le #réseauFerré est électrifié aujourd’hui à environ 60%. De nombreuses lignes à forte circulation et à fort potentiel mériteraient également d’être électrifiées
le gvt s’était engagé à doubler la part du #fret ferroviaire d’ici 2030.
La #décarbonation des #mobilités doit commencer par le #transfertModal aussi large et raisonnable que possible de la #route vers le #rail."

波鉄 (Hatetsu)The summer holiday night train TLK Wydmy, made famous for being extended to Bohumín to simplify handling borrowed Czech carriages, will run with all Polish cars this year - but still start in Bohumín because the ridership now justifies it all on its own: https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/wakacyjny-tlk-z-czech-do-leby-i-helu-tym-razem-z-polskimi-wagonami--136635.html
Wakacyjny TLK z Czech do Łeby i Helu tym razem z polskimi wagonami
Sezonowy pociąg TLK Wydmy będzie w tym roku zestawiony z wagonów należących do PKP Intercity. To spora zmiana względem lat ubiegłych, gdy skład był formowany z czeskich wagonów starszych typów. Zachowana zostanie jednak możliwość bezpośredniego dojazdu do granicznej stacji Bogumin.
Meanwhile on Rynek Kolejowy: Koleje Śląskie (Silesian Railways) are remaking former coal mine land in Gliwice into a depot to take advantage of the existing rail connection, which PKP PLK has agreed to upgrade a bit (current speed limit 40 km/h): https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/plk-wyremontuja-linie-do-nowej-bazy-kolei-slaskich-w-gliwicach--136496.html

Ça faisait très longtemps que je pensais à photographier, sur le #pont métallique franchissant la Penzé entre Henvic et Plouénan, la voie ferrée Morlaix - Roscoff fermée depuis 2018.
Samedi, des éclaircies étaient prévues pour un beau ciel en arrière-plan et je me suis décidé à y aller, sans savoir que les extrémités du pont étaient maintenant barrées par des grilles et j'ai dû me contenter de photographier par en dessous de celle-ci. J'ai rentabilisé le déplacement par une balade dans les Monts d'Arrée https://bretagne.en-photo.fr/2026/avril/index.html#74 et suivantes

SeverinExcellent article about the #Japan #Rail system and why it is successful.
It’s smart policy, not culture. It could work in Europe or America, too.

Pablonius Monk 🇺🇦One way, $36! I call that a bargain!
Our Texas State legislature is shameful for not funding this line.
