Another rail accident… this time, Chicago
2008-05-28 19:26:00 Not a good day for Mass Transit, today. Chicago’s Channel 5/WMAQ  is reporting there’s been a derailment on the elevated Green line. From the look of the pictures, it appears the second of four cars on this particular train ‘caught a point’ on a switch, one end of the car going one way, and the other, the other way, thus missing a turn. All cars are upright, but some two dozen passenger injuries are reported. BitsBlog Tags: BitsBlog Related posts No related posts.

Cat puts Japan rail firm on track
2008-05-28 03:43:00 A loss-making Japanese railway company is back on track thanks to the popularity of a stray cat. Wearing a black cap and posing for photos with passengers, Tama the tabby is credited with boosting Wakayama Electric Railway's revenue by 10%. The firm had to axe all staff at Kishi station in western Japan two years ago. But Tama stuck by her post and was rewarded with promotion to station manager. The pet mascot even has her own office, a former ticket booth. The feline, who was born and raised at the station in the city of Kinokawa, Wakayama prefecture, is living proof of the Japanese belief that cats are good luck. "She never complains, even though passengers touch her all over the place. She is an amazing cat. She has patience and charisma. She is the perfect station master," said Yoshiko Yamaki, a spokeswoman for the rail company. The nine-year-old - who receives cat food in lieu of a salary - won national stardom last year when t...

After struggling with congession from our population growth, Mayor Will Wynn charged various groups, community leaders, transit experts and other residents to come up plans for a final vote in November.

According to the Austin Statesman, Councilmember McCrackien sad, "We think it is possible to build this with no new taxes." He outlines a potential option in the plan.

Greatest rail journey: London to Dhaka via Delhi in 23 days
2008-04-22 19:47:00 In what would be the world's greatest rail journey, a new rail link, to be opened later this year, will enable one to undertake a 23-day journey by train from London to Dhaka via New Delhi.The 7000-mile Trans-Asia railway network will follow one of the old Silk Roads through Istanbul, Tehran, Lahore and Delhi.

From there just 218 miles of missing track stands in the way of an overland rail journey from London to Singapore.Under a UN-sponsored scheme, Pakistan and Iran will link up their lines in the coming months to join the sub-continent's track to that of Europe for the first time. The UN said the link would open up new trade routes within Asia and give the former Soviet republics of central Asia rail access to Iran's strategic seaport...

France attracts more rail travellers
2008-04-15 02:00:00 More consumers from the UK are travelling to France on the train, new figures have revealed. According to Eurostar, passenger numbers during the first quarter of the year are 21.3 per cent higher than the amount recorded 12 months earlier. This was said to be partly because of its new high-speed rail link between Paris and London, which has made the French capital accessible in just two hours and 20 minutes. However, reduced journey times were not the only attraction of the new service to consumers, Eurostar added. Richard Brown, chief executive of the firm, said the railways are increasingly being seen as an eco-friendly alternative to flying to France. He commented: "We don't have all the answers, but we are chipping away at reducing our environmental impact and we will keep at it right across the business." Mr Brown added that both Eurostar and its customers have a "duty" to try and reduce their carbon footprint. Earlier this month, Virgin Trains ...

Roadmunkey's Rail Conversion
2008-03-31 01:56:00 Whilst doing a search for new local blogs I discovered that Longdendale Councillor and pro-bypass fanatic Sean Parker-Perry (nee Sean Perry) a.k.a. Roadmunkey, has a new web presence.No, I'm not talking about the resurrected Roadmunkey blog, or even the blog of all Sean's Wikipedia edits, this is something entirely different. The road lobbyist-cum-fake environmentalist appears to have a new hobby horse which is the hiring out of tools to the local community. The website can be found here in exactly the same style and design as the old Roadmunkey blog!Ironically, in his first and only post to date, there is no mention of his beloved bypass ('will fight to the end') but rather a picture of a railway arch in Broadbottom which is to be the home of Active Longdendale (AL), its 'community toolshed depot' so to speak. Indeed, Sean himself has sought and unsurprisingly achieved planning permission for the project himself (documents here).So who's a good, public spirited, altruistic...

Rail Europe for the Student Traveler
2008-03-28 04:46:00 Hitting the Rails —It has been a time-honoured tradition for the North American university grad to leave his sheltered nest and seek the unknown in a distant land.Unfortunately, tradition also lends way to cliché.The early twenties, book smart grad is filled with an ambition to add some life experience to his new set of professional letters. He sits in a dockside café eating hometown food with French provincial names as he writes into a leather-bound booklet some deep insights that he assumes are original. He dreams of having a torrid love affair with some local peasant girl but settles instead for swapping email addresses with some Canadians doing the exact same thing. As entertaining as this prospect seems, it was not my wish. I wanted to carve out my own adventure, and in Europe there is no better way than by train.The European rail system has been for years second-to-none for accessibility, comfort, and, with Rail Europe, affordability. There are a variety of Rail Europe pas...
