A model of two passengers standing in a green railcar,  appearing to be engaged in conversation. In the foreground there is another freight train with empty, brown cars, and in the background is what looks like a station off in the distance, and a tipple to the left.

Thanks to https://twitter.com/heyjohnrussell for this. Lots of questions still surrounding #EastPalestine and the #NorfolkSouthern #railcar explosion. Some evidence showing that detonation wasn't necessary ​:meow-popcorn:​

Rickshaws to space travel: now that's a character arc!

Hehehe. I wrote "vaguely precise" for a reason.

As far as the Pullman goes, I've had the opportunity to ride a private railcar attached to an Amtrak train. You betcha some of a story used a lot of those experiences! It even got mentioned a couple of sequels down the line. Having a full course meal prepared in the size of a pantry closet was a course in engineering and ingenuity. Watching the train roll over itself on the Tehachapi Loop was spectacular. Standing on the end of the train, watching the railroad track endlessly endlessly endlessly receding, hearing the wheels click-clattering, seeing the California coast and the blue sea rolling beside you, with no other evidence of people... was breathtaking.

“Amtrak says it’s unlikely we’ll see new long-distance cars entering revenue service until sometime after 2030.…that’s because the status quo settles for talking about new train cars in 2020 and getting new ones in 11, 12, or even 15 years’ time, not because that’s the best we can do. Why are we settling for the status quo?…It's just train cars, for heaven’s sake. A metal box on two sets of wheels. We've been doing it for over 100 years.” https://www.narprail.org/happening-now/news/blog/new-rail-cars-are-harder-than-moon-landings/ #Rail #Railcar #PassengerRail

I just want #trains. #Train #infrastructure in #Houston. Train infrastructure in #Texas. Affordable, reliable, timely train infrastructure for interstate travel. #HighSpeed or #LowSpeed , #RailCar or #LightRail ; I would hyperbolically give a kidney or a chunk of my liver for functional, reliable, affordable, accessible, and timely #PublicTransportation. #Amtrak

Can’t remember when I shot it. Probably 2021.
