A Union Pacific manifest train rumbles into Union Station as the Dallas streetcar crosses overhead on the Houston Street Viaduct. Barely visible on the other side of the convention center, a DGNO train can be seen following close behind.

Speed display signs only slow drivers down by 1km/h: Halifax report
Halifax has installed nearly 50 speed display signs around the municipality, but on average they only slow down drivers by less than one km/h, according to a new staff report.

I always think it's funny that the US developed pretty much the optimal--by revealed preference--kind of suburb (close-in streetcar suburbs) in the early 20th century and then spent the rest of the century trying furiously to undo that good idea
as will notes, people tend to *say* they want suburban living. they want a big house and a big yard and etc. this is not however what is suggested by their actual purchasing practices, which invariably result in something like this:

no one has ever spoken like this about a GoA4 (grade-of-automation four, or no staff on-board and completely automatic) driverless metro

A pair of extra tiny ermines will be in this shop update! These two were super fun to make, but I might make them a little bigger next time. They will be available this Friday, November 21st at 8pm Eastern time.

One of the arguments the Class Is and AAR put up any time anyone talks about freight rail electrification is that there's no electric locomotives designed for US/NA freight service. While on the surface this claim is true, it's also not a big deal

Been super art motivated since the Zootopia wrap party, couldn't help but to paint Nick in Krita! I've also been working hard behind the scenes to improve my work, and I feel it's paying off!
Sometime I'd love to make a post how I've been using Obsidian to improve my art!
