The "Hudson Tubes" celebrated their 100th Anniversary earlier this year.

I'm watching Sandhogs as i type this, a show about the guys who build subway tunnels and such, they're brave folks.

Are we gonna see Hamdude on national television?

>>19910

They're broadcasting from a former F40PH. Ham will be all over that!

>>19911
Do not want

ghost bump

>>19912

It looks like a tesla tank F40. hah

Let us know how it goes man.

Sweet. Too bad that's the other side of the state. Too bad I have work and school that day.

Oh well, give a 1chan shoutout Ham, if they give you the chance for airtime!

Also, anyone else on here post on Railroad.net?

>>19912

What the hell did they do that thing? It's like cabbage wasn't bad enough.

>>19912
It's a spy cabbage, clearly it runs on the end of white boxcars

I wasn't even aware that China ran on Standard Gauge tack, although that makes sense.

>>19923
yarr they be standard.

There were places in China that looked like the US rail scene in the 40's and 50's, with steam and diesel running next to each other. Impressive stuff.

My only complaint with the QJ's is that they put a diesel horn on them.

>>19925

Funny thing about the QJs is that they were built some time around the 80s or 90s.

>My only complaint with the QJ's is that they put a diesel horn on them.

A poor sounding one at that -- but most still have the steam whistle. The three in the US right now have their original whistles, albeit air operated via floor pedals in the cab.

Unfortunately...they don't sound all that better anyway.

Incidentally, Greenbrier, through its' Gunderson Fabrication division, is the manufacturer of The White Boxcars.

Fraud....

Lol that's nothing new with "the Big Bad G" errr I mean Pan Am.

Seriously, Gulidford is based off of Springfield Terminal... I mean come on... the only railroad out of New England (aside from CSX or as Snail would put it... CSuX) and it's was bulit from the ground up from a 6-mile short line...

And by the Guliford took over... it didn't even run daily and all it did was operate about a hundred yards and serve one customer, and then look what happened it swallowed up New England's true railroads, the Boston & Maine and the Maine Central and made them their bitches, and after raping B&M in the ass, they didn't use B&M labor agreements instead they consolidated into that little tiny shortline that ran between Springfield, Vermont, and Charlestown, New Hampshire, because it being a shortline had more management favorable agreements.

Pan Am Railways and it's parent company Pan Am Systems suck. I mean, Pan Am just killed their little Clipper Connection for their little airline and the DOT proposed to kill their certificate because "is not financially fit and does not possess the managerial competence to conduct any air transportation operations and has failed to comply with the regulations governing its operations."

>Springfield Terminal..

Terminal railroad and Bridge operators held very liberal labor agreements, like single crewman, or mobile operation, which have been used to leverage much, much larger labor concessions.. Was Mellon the first to do this?

That's messed up, i've heard of things like that happening to small leasing companies in other industries but nothing on the scale of entire railroads.

Wow.

Well, I was going to say that ST was/is a scab RR out to fuck labor, but I was beaten to the punch... However, while I say nasty things about CSXT, I never really belived ST would fall behind like this, although it goes to show you, once you get into fucking labor you just can't stop fucking around. Now if only the asses who run the "Wall Street Journal" figured it out... things could be better.

They told me it is part of the JR safety plan, they point at everything, signals, watch etc. I guess you could say it some sort of "check"

and btw. they don't do this on Hokkaido for some reason ?

Is it true that train drivers must say out every signal they pass, even when driving alone?

>>19712

>and btw. they don't do this on Hokkaido for some reason ?

I didn't see that in early August when I went there. Then again, I wasn't really keeping an eye out for that then, so...

I've only noticed JR West doing it diligently, not the other JRs.

>>19716

Yes, they say something like "shin go" for a green signal, I don't know what they say for the others (in my rides I never had a red signal) . Also, when they point at something, they go like "yush!" or "check oke da" what must mean ok ?

My finger points.

(Bonus points to anyone who gets the reference.)

>>19921

Took me a few seconds, but I got it! I haven't watched that in forever.

It's Chessie-tan! I like!

DO LIKE!!!

Oh God I raged.

>>19803
Okay, so it's some average deviantart thing with bad angles and...

>The Chesapeake & Ohio railroad needed a new ad campaign, and decided to use a picture of a kitten, whom they named "Chessie" as their new mascot.
>This image is based on the original sleepy kitten image, but with a catgirl in place of the kitten.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

It doesn't even LOOK like a girl.

To be fair, I don't think the Chesapeake & Ohio is around to need a new ad campaign. Now it's the CSX, and all that line can do is advertise how much sucktacularity it produces.

My sister could do better. In fact, I think I'll ask her to do so. >:)

>>19851
CSX has single track out the ass. They need to sink a billion or two into their physical plant. That won't solve all their problems, but it certainly would improve throughput. (Incidentally, BNSF just upgraded their ex-ATSF Tehachapi/Cajon mainline from single track to triple. Track goes where?)

Wow! That would have been something to see go down!

Tay Bridge..

And thar she goes!

Lol. Big Sky.

Aaaand, sum oldtimer retroed the solar on the third car.

What? 9000? How can this be?

Dassum Bleeeeeng!

Also, WTF is the INRD working this?
