Multiple units can also be just as powerful as a single locomotive too, if a railway warranted that. For example, this EMU is a 4REP or Class 430/432. British Rail built these multiple units for use on the South West Main Line to Bournemouth in the 1960s. These EMUs had 3,200hp (8 English...

Well it looks like Sunrail could be growing into a 100 mile long commuter rail line. Some points. FDOT releases new details about proposed SunRail extension to this local county *The Polk County extension will be split into two phases. *It'll cost $850 million dollars, which is less than...

His NJT bus odyssey was a really good video and I loved the explanation on the fares. His trek across the country by Greyhound was incredible. He put up with all the shenenegians of Greyhound just to upload those videos. I've outlined in the past how Greyhound today is not the Greyhound I...

You don't want to add luggage space to a 40ft bus that only seats 40 passengers at best. I've already seen how crowded a 40ft bus can get coming out of the airport with passengers having luggage and it's not fun standing for several miles (thankfully it hasn't happened to me yet). Just to point...

Miles is entertainment to me and I like the guy. I don't think he was meant to be taken seriously. Some did have to correct him a few times in his videos and I did have to throw information out there like that time he was in Cleveland. I responded by telling him Cleveland RTA use to be have over...

I remember when they introduced those, especially when fuel prices were skyrocketing in Europe. I asked myself, so where is DB getting the additional trains from? Even if you want to argue new trains are on the way, and they have a lot of new equipment on the way, they're a few years away at...

DB's delays have become somewhat the butt of all jokes among German passengers. Even rail companies that operate trains in the country have also faced delays as well. It's all due to aging infrastructure, the fact that the increasing numbers of people riding the trains have led to a situation...

Realize that Amtrak ordered the Chargers for a reason. If it made more sense to rebuild the Genesis, they would've gone in that direction. It's the same reason why Amtrak didn't rebuild the F40s (outside of NPCU conversions) over two and half decades ago, most of the engines were worn out from...

If you plan on taking Lynx, download their bus tracker app so you'll know where the bus is. The app can be found on Apple store or Google Play. I haven't carried a bus schedule since that app was implemented system wide years ago.

While I understand it is optimistic, it's a different animal compared to the Florida project. Unlike Florida, Brightline West is building the right of way, rather then using an existing right of way that may have something that could impact service like drawbridges. Although I have been wrong...

People are quick to point out catenary installation delays, as what happened with Caltrain. One has to realize the US doesn't really have the experience with installing many miles of catenary like it use too back in the early 20th century.

The X'Trapolis has been around for a while, since the late 1990s when it was first introduced by Alstom for the SNCF. The SNCF uses a variation called the X'Trapolis Duplex for it's RER lines, lines A and E to be specific. In addition to the SNCF, Melbourne in Australia has several variants of...

We could be finding out soon if Brightline West will get that grant they requested. https://www.reviewjournal.com/local/local-nevada/decision-expected-soon-on-4b-grant-for-lv-la-high-speed-rail-system-2887394/

Interesting article that asks very good questions. I have a sinking feeling the price maybe due to the fact these coaches are essentially unpowered multiple units, being used as hauled coaches behind a locomotive. I do have to ask, besides Shore Line East, does Connecticut have any future...

As for as we know, they're locomotive hauled coaches. The basis for these coaches is a family of multiple units, called the Adessias.

While I'm not an investigator nor do I know all the details, the M7 cars have had a rocky start ever since they went into service in 2002. They had swaying problems with those bogies (trucks for those of you not familiar with the term), which was one of the many issues of them. Whether that...

Through running at Penn Station isn't a new idea, it's been proposed a few times. Whether it'll be considered is beyond the scope of everyone's knowledge. Question I have for everyone, do you guys think Penn Station should become a through running station? If not, what are your solutions to...

It seems to me everybody rode it, Reece who is RM Transit on Youtube makes a hilarious cameo in the video. Going to make that something to see for myself in the near future.

To be fair, Amtrak isn't brand new. I bet if they were, the samething happening with the REM would also happen to them.

Well googling Texas Central Railway yielded these articles. Take them for what it is as these were written not long ago. https://www.kxxv.com/brazos/debate-over-high-speed-rail-in-texas-speeds-up-as-legislation-seeks-transparency...
