Interesting that the access into STL came up - it's like you guys were reading my mind. I was looking at the MacArthur Bridge yesterday (virtually, not in person) and watching videos of crossing it - really, really slow out from it as it turns north in East Stl. I wonder how much that could be...

Grimshaw does some pretty nice - and in many cases, innovative and impressive, such as Waterloo International, projects - I'll have to look for more plans and renders of this, the rendering in the article was only ok, but they are very competent transportation architects so it should turn out...

Just had a successful jaunt on the T yesterday from the airport to the North End and back (work trip with extra time) - no snafu's like last time and went to new stations. However, the Green Line trains are really looking ratty, tired and, compared the rest of the world, majorly dated. That...

Ha, yes! But still a nice job. Funny, I was running arounds yesterday and we saw two Trailways buses nearly simultaneously - one crossing over and another merging and was thinking of the various threads here.

Whoever drew that sign did a nice job with it!

Interesting, thanks for posting. So, question, it's not totally clear to me, would this be Amtrak California running the trains or perhaps Caltrain?

I can't find a reference right now, but was there, at one time, another causeway or bridge for rail across the bay between Tampa & St. Pete? Or was that road/street bridge that was abandoned (what I remember from being told when I visited)? (edit) Interestingly, I found a reference to a...

Fascinating - Kolkata looks so intriguing. Must get off my duff and go.

Love that the background image is still single tracked in Tim's link...

Usually pulled at an endpoint (some, I think, can be disassembled). Off topic, but they developed a TBM that could do rectangular sections for a project in Hong Kong recently.

This is pretty cool - though I will say it's very "rainbow fleet" in some ways.

Seems to me this is just a one time deadhead. If there are chronic and consistent sell-outs between Chicago and Milwaukee, maybe it's time to really fly between them and get Metra to extend all the way.

This is actually a great suggestion for a multi-use corridor.

Oh, it was a USC bus....

Yay! At last and woo-hoo!
