Trainscapes: Heritage In The Southland: EPIC Freight?Trains

that's so brilliant

September is Rail Safety Month in the U.S., and it is a great opportunity to celebrate the incredible safety advancements in rail transportation! Transit agencies and railways nationwide are spotlighting their best practices and sharing tips to ensure everyone has a safe and pleasant experience around rail stations and tracks. In addition, exciting advancements in rail safety technology are revolutionizing how we travel. For example, Deutsche Bahn is leading the way with cutting-edge safety measures across Europe. From the European Train Control System (ECTS) to innovative radar systems at crossings, these technologies are enhancing the reliability and safety of our rail systems. Rail transportation continues to evolve with these forward-thinking solutions, making it a safer and more efficient choice for travel. Let’s take a moment to appreciate these advancements and the dedication to keeping our journeys safe and enjoyable.

Our approach embodies change. Know with confidence that if you embrace change, you can achieve that which seems impossible. #howtiscoworks #worklow #businessprocessmanagement #nocode

Front Range Passenger Rail to begin polling soon

Fun video for transport nerds here on the making of the new Piccadilly line trains. I remember while at Greater London Authority challenging with then Board Member Michael Liebreich the Transport for London executive team on ensuring that the new stock would be future proofed for a low carbon (this was before Net Zero) economy. So, it's great to see the descriptions becoming reality on how they've lowered the weight, for example having intermediate carriages without bogies, and making them from an aluminium frame, to reduce energy usage. Lowering the weight also helps with cooling the tunnels, as much of the kinetic energy always ends up as heat. Looking forward to taking these new trains some time next year. https://lnkd.in/eDBPD8Y2

It’s so exciting to share how to provide health and safety to railway staffs especially for high voltage rail environments

Tonight, I'm en route to Ottawa for a few days of local business engagements, and this video could not have been more timely in capturing the absurdity of my train journey (VIA Rail Canada is entertainingly discussed in the second half of the video). Ironically, it was posted just 12 hours before I began what was supposed to be a 4-hour trip, now going on 6+ hours, waiting for three freight trains, a full-on detour *around* Scarborough and at one point actually going backwards for half-a-kilometre! I've always been a strong advocate for train travel for business trips, especially between the triangle of Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal. Back in my leadership days for global companies on national accounts, I did the math: door-to-door, taking the train (with a hotel stay) was more time- and cost-efficient than a same-day round-trip flight. You also gain the benefit of meaningful (un-rushed) engagement with local teams and the obvious environmental advantages of not driving or flying. Plus, trains actually offer the chance to get real work done with elbow space. But with experiences like this, it’s hard not to feel disappointed. We can, and should, do better. As the title implies, it is worse. https://lnkd.in/gQTyagSn

In 2023, 5,000 railcars were moved via barge, with each trip carrying the equivalent of 72 truckloads. Learn more about use of the region’s “marine highways” on our blog: https://lnkd.in/eadnR9He
