That can't be right; at least one last train is at 12:30 (my line it's 12:50) for Metra.

Funny - this thread made me more aware than usual of the planes that I saw while I was out hiking - the only one's that I could ID were Southwest of course, including one flying rather low in from the NW over the Stevenson!

Why did I think that BLW was going to be diesel? Glad it's not, but where did I get confused?

I think the teak floors were still in situ in the early 2000's (2002/2003ish). My mom just had a TIA (your welcome) and no lasting effects - and it seems to have licked her vertigo - she already had double vision which is 'cured' with special lenses on her glasses. I think she's been given a...

It kind of looks Midwestern to me, but without watching the video & seeing more, that's just a wild guess.

Thanks for the links: as expected, everything above me (nothing at the moment) is SWA to MDW. Even my favorite hiking spot is under the Midway approach (home at least varies based on wind patterns).

Seems like planes run into trouble when both pilots are incapacitated (or it seems that when it happens, it may be a bigger, insurmountable problem).

I think those areas are the crumple zones which are meant to be 'unoccupied' for the most part for passenger safety.

Looks like Berthoud was closed last week again and over the weekend (possibly).

Interesting difference in time between the stations based on which direction the train is travelling.

True, but it's an extension of the current route - a few baby steps can make a huge difference (can we call this the "Mark Twain" or something?).

JIS - is that curvature in the video you just posted due to running under streets (it's very curvy like the Underground - LU/TfL)? And is it supposed to continue on from the end of the video with the blank wall? That blue underwater segment is kinda cool - I was looking for flood doors -...

This is going to be an incredibly stupid questions, but are there problems with air supply (coupled or caused by poor maintenance) in the cockpit?

I saw a post on another forum - because, as we all know everything on the internet and everything you read online is always true - that the whistleblower said to friends shortly before his death, that if something happens to me, it wasn't suicide.

I hope that 30 minutes included the station stops because that's only about 22 miles of rail (assuming it's not 60 MPH due to switches and bridge, etc).

But seriously, there's been talk of Reno for the Capital Corridor, but it seems unlikely at the moment. I think there are plans for a NE extension, to Chico, but I think that's the San Joaquin via Yuba City.

East would be Chicago.... 🕵️‍♂️

Some of the original builders of the rail lines were subsidiaries of other or bigger companies and were kept separate for various accounting/liability (financial) reasons. There is a lot of convoluted history there...

Does anybody have a link to the potential route or a map or the route?

This one? When in doubt, Tim has a video about everything! He's also got one about the enclave/exclave of Germany in Switzerland and the island that changes nations.... Funny, I recently was suggested a video where a Canadian town had their driveways in the USA or something along those lines...
