You're supposed to provide 2 terse sentences about a random work package nobody has ever heard of and which nobody understands. This feels way too normal

The electric railway was always freight-first, and after 2009 it continued to perform internal transportation for the Fushun mines. A tourist train briefly restored public service in 2019, but it has since ended and the lines are planned for reuse as a transit railway in the city's 5-year plan.

The system faithfully hauled around Fushun residents until 2009, when municipal subsidies ran out. Its various archaic-looking trains draw a lot of curiosity.

First constructed by Russia in 1904, the system was subsequently expanded by Japan and the People's Republic. Although primarily a mining railway, it came to take on a role of urban transportation, especially for workers in the city's industries.

I have to wonder how these cars all found their way to Fushun and not the broader China Railway after the civil war.

Finally, a sense of scale of the annoyingly long tunnel. I get why the Spadina Subway station was supposed to be called Lowther

Certain political figures are drawn like racist caricatures seemingly at random. Prince Konoe? Kishi? Chiang? yes. Matsuoka? Xie Wendong (a northeastern bandit turned KMT general)? no

The planners of suburban Toronto are faced with the challenge: how do you fit 5000+ persons/km^2 without challenging the basic fabric of car-oriented suburbanisation? This is how they do it.

Until 1919 Ontario at least was all in on electric regional railways, on the premise of consolidating the various radials, heavily upgrading them, and linking them with new urban rights of way. If not for surprise political upheaval in the 1919 election such a system could well exist!

You need to be reading the 90s manga about a half-Mongolian urchin who gets adopted by Ishiwara Kanji (???) and endeavours to recover his fragmented past by seeking out Leon Trotsky (?????)

The foreboding 80s ad run by socialist-aligned railway union Kokuro prophesies:
As in England, as in France... As in Japan.
The 83 deficit lines are wiped from the map with a dramatic effect.

Apparently the Bundesbahn and SNCF ran them into the 1980s, and the Reichsbahn into the 90s!
