Was The Pole Jaywalking?

Agreed. The method of selection is all wrong. This should be done using a New England town meeting style format to chose the winners. A few particularly well qualified people (the Kardashians come to mind) should be nominated, and those nominations seconded, if warrented. Then a vote via the...

What is it with Montgomery County. Maryland and transit centers that have the color purple in them? First, the infamous Silver Spring Transit Center ( Now called, amongst other things, the Paul S. Sarbanes Transit Center) which seems like it could possibly never open, and now news about the...

I'm resurrecting this thread to post a link to Transportation Nation's article from 9/16/14: How San Francisco Is Designing Its Metro Train of the Future From the article:

Yep. Grrrrrrrr.... :angry2:

Nice to know they weren't after you, Jim. :P But Dave has a good point.... :unsure: You must have reeked... :o of BBQ! :giggle: Speaking of BBQ and 'The Heat'... Betty better be careful! :lol:

An editorial from Politico's Morning Transportation Report: In all likelyhood we will be talking about this, and much more, in the coming year...

From this article at WTOP: I don't use facebook or twitter, but maybe Amtrak needs its own pages for this? For example I was on a train going into CHI last October and a pax was told to sit down by a conductor and didn't... Oh wait.... :ph34r: :blush: :ph34r: :P

Hopefully this helps. Alexandria, with its many historic buildings, has had more than a few things done in the name of 'historic preservation,' that are now seen as regrettable.

I don't know if this is true or not, but I found this at the website songfacts.com: And my own observation (which I have every once in a while... :ohboy: ) "Well I hear the whistle but I can't go..." ? :blink: Even WAY,WAY back in the early 1970s, steam had been retired from almost all...

Basically my thoughts. The space should be used... but I hope it does not get 'updated' in the process. I don't know anything about the two restauranteurs, but their website DOES make it look promising that they will not destroy the space, which is a national treasure, IMHO. My concern is...

Given the choice, I'd go Vancouver to Winnipeg. You'll need to spend the night in Winnipeg, as you can't rely on an on time arrival. If you can, spend that night at The Fort Garry, which is almost accross the street from the train station, and was originally built for the Grand Trunk Pacific...

Oh... You mean on rails! :o My dad use to say: "She looks like she has a lot of mileage on her!" :huh: ...and he wasn't talking cars... :giggle:

Truer words were seldom written. -_-

The International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association (IBTTA) has a new video out about tolls on 'freeways' which is linked here. Guess what? :unsure: It is pro-toll! :P NOT pro-duck trolls - which live under toll bridges. :giggle: ##################################### On a...

I think we might have a "guest duck troll" in the house. :ohboy: Certainly a quack. :lol:

While nothing is certain this far out from election day, I agree that there it is not likely to be a change in governors in NM this Fall. The question is how will the TIGER grant change things in terms of timing of the possible reroute. You seem anxious to see the reroute. However, those who...

Here we go again... ...but it will get kicked past the elections in November and into 2015, or 2016, or... From the article linked below in The Hill... House bill cuts Amtrak funding 40 percent From the article:

Obviously written by an avid rider of #14... :rolleyes:

While I appreciate it is not Fox 'News,' I learned of Mr. Moulton's work with Texas Central from this article in USAToday.
