Today in print in The Sunday Age and Sun-Herald - I write a section about new and upcoming rail experiences in the 'Next Great Journeys' special supplement. Includes trains in Italy, Australia, Norway, Japan and Laos.
Buy a copy in print today; I'll share the online version if/when it appears later.
🚂 Face au changement climatique, le #train est notre meilleur allié. Chez Équinoxe nous défendons ce mode de transport et son financement à travers une taxe européenne sur le kérosène.
Jusqu’aux élections, nous vous présentons deux fois par semaine une de nos mesures phares. C’est aujourd’hui au tour de la deuxième : développer massivement le #ferroviaire et le rendre plus accessible que l’avion.
Afin de pouvoir continuer de nous déplacer et de découvrir le monde dans une #Europe faible émettrice en CO2, nous disposons d'un atout de taille : le #train. Pour cela, nous proposons de développer massivement le #ferroviaire, et de le rendre plus accessible que l'avion.
Today's historic #photo of the day: A narrow gauge grain #train from Orroroo, double-headed by Sulzer engined diesel locomotives NT67 and NSU58, has just arrived in the triple-gauge station yard at Peterborough, SA, April 11 1985.
Peterborough is about 250km north of Adelaide in the mid-north region of South Australia. It was a railway town that housed a depot serving railways of three track gauges radiating in all four compass directions.
Train 641 will depart Ottawa from Mondays to Thursdays at 4:19AM, and arrive in Toronto 8:48AM, with express service stops in Brockville, Kingston, Belleville, Cobourg, and Port Hope. Perfect for business commuters that need to make a 9AM meeting in The Big Smoke and a great alternative to the short-haul flight.
Also, Train 644 TRTO -> OTTW will run daily! See full release here:
Trois accords-cadres de capacité négociés entre SNCF Réseau et la société Ilisto 1-4-6, filiale de la société Kevin Speed, concernant les lignes à grande vitesse Paris-Lyon, Paris-Lille et Paris-Strasbourg – Avis n° 2024-029 du 30 avril 2024
The board meeting with #SoundTransit on whether to continue considering Amazon and the Mayor's alternative proposal for #Seattle 's Ballard Link is happening tomorrow, May 23 2024, 1:30-4:00PM PT.
Charlie Colin, founding member of the band #Train, whose hits included 'Drops of Jupiter,' has died at 58. Colin slipped and fell in the shower while house-sitting for a friend in Belgium, according to TMZ. He was later found dead.
The passenger station & #train depot will function as assembly, repair, maintenance & operational center for long-delayed & anticipated – #FirstEver#RailLine of its kind in the southern metropolis.
A century ago, this photo was taken in Haubstadt, #Indiana. This town had both a #train station and #electric#interurban service, with a population of less than 700.
Now it has over 1,600 people, but has no service of any kind. The station and several of the buildings in this photo are now gone or empty.
Even major cities with populations in the hundreds of thousands sometimes lack basic #rail service. It's painful how much we've lost.
