An amazing historic and scenic #railroad running near #MtRainier National Park had a huge setback for future expansion with a trestle burning to the ground. They’re still running their current line and rail cycle adventures but need help sorting out the mess and how they’ll move forward re: cleanup, planning, rebuilding and all the hoops and regulations therein.

If you are a #railfan you can appreciate having to tell someone that you won't see any videos of trains splashing through puddles. Well, there is some pretty questionable track but there wouldn't be any "splashing".

That reminded me of having to explain that a lunar eclipse can only occur on a full moon.

The latter point, after a few beers, took longer to get across than you would hope.

I did spot this oldie in the trains folder. From way back in 2004! 🤩

Not bad for an early (and cheap!) digital camera. 21 years ago 🤯

Ok this is a super niche and nerdy #transit question about the #MBTA - why does it seem to be that most of the F40 and GP units operate out of north station while more of the HSP46 locomotives operate out of south station?

Hidden Wonders | Soya Line: Reaching the End of Japan's Northernmost Railway

Shortly after 10 AM on a Saturday, about 20 people were lined up inside the huge glass building. Wakkanai Station on the Soya Line has only one platform and one track.

Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, he was the son of a railway worker in #Argentina.
