Today's historic #photo of the day: Exactly 39 years ago today, a trio of CPH Railmotors headed by CPH1 sits stabled in a siding at Richmond, NSW, September 30, 1984.
Richmond is 60km NW of Sydney in the Hawkesbury region of NSW. The #railway opened in 1864, and from 1926 to 1952 it extended further to Kurrajong. In 1984, diesel railmotors connected with electric trains at Riverstone or even Blacktown, although there were also a handful of services that ran direct to and from Central.

@CloudyMrs Most people from the south of #England think of Manchester / Leeds as 'The North', and as the Lake District and Northumberland as 'The Far North'. They've little idea how much further even Glasgow or Edinburgh are, let alone Aberdeen or Inverness.
The Four Horsemen will have saddled-up long before an English #government would even think about a high speed rail that involves even the south of #Scotland.

Have you ever heard of the London Necropolis Railway Company?
I hadn't, until someone shared a short video with me, which I immediately thought must be a hoax.
But no, it checks out, and is an incredible story: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Necropolis_Railway
![Archival black and white photo showing the scene at a London train station looking towards it along the tracks. There are platforms, trains, and buildings in the background, but my eye is drawn to the words on one of the station buildings which, in white letters on brick, say: "London Necropolis Coy [meaning company], Private Station, 121 Westminster Bridge Road".](https://cdn.masto.host/frontendsocial/cache/media_attachments/files/111/124/152/869/235/632/small/6677dd66fdaa4d72.jpg)

@jon @wrzlbrnft That's quite strange. AFAIK Chinese railway companies use #ETCS themselves. E.g. for the new #railway they built in #Ethiopia.
There has to be more in the background that isn't in the open yet.

Was experimenting around for a bit about #eInk for #Railway #Ticket #Aztec codes.
My aim was to display may daily #InterRail Aztec code on a small e-ink display at a lanyard rather than checking it out on my phone each and every ticket check.
My first attempt was a #badger2040 W as display device, but I figured out it does not have a sufficiently high resolution. Whereas the badger has a 296 x 128 px display, an InterRail Aztec requires at least 256 px to scan.

I sometimes think the Andrews government is more into big announcements than ongoing commitment. They need to step up to fund this track maintenance.

I read about the virtual tour here: https://www.railwaygazette.com/virtual-train-tour-to-help-passengers-ahead-of-travel/64870.article
But it took me a while to find it on Lumo’s website (which detracts from the accessibility slightly!)
For some reason it’s under the ‘Who We Are’ menu at the top of the site, rather than under the prominently displayed ‘Assisted travel’ section (where I expected to see it): https://www.lumo.co.uk/help/assisted-travel
The ‘Assisted travel’ section – with its mysterious icon 🤷🏻♀️ – contains a couple of PDF leaflets
• The one under ‘Making rail accessible’ is really geared to the commonly considered (but still under-served) groups: people who use wheelchairs and other mobility aids, people who use assistance dogs, and people who need to travel with a companion
• The other one, developed by the same company that created the 3D tour, is an ‘Autism Guide’, and is not much more than a list of the East Coast Main Line’s tunnels and their lengths! 🫠
#accessibility #ActuallyAutistic #disabled #neurodivergent #anxiety #rail #railway #lumo
Many Autistic and other disabled people like/need to have lots of information when visiting somewhere for the first time
I always check Street View* before going anywhere I haven’t been – and if there are interior photographs, so much the better
So it’s really nice to read about a train operator, Newcastle-based Lumo, offering online 3D tours of their trains: https://www.lumo.co.uk/who-we-are/virtual-tour 💜
Not sure what happened to the end coach though! 😳

Railways around the world are rapidly going electric – except in North America. Yay for the rest of the world and booooo for North America.
This article by Michael Barnard in The Future is Electric seems to offer a good overview of the global electrification of rail and why North America is lagging behind. (Spoiler: the article blames private ownership. Are railway tycoons STILL screwing us over? 🙄)

Indonesia Train Company representative addressed the lack of height of the LRT carriage doors that a lot of people have complained about.
They said that the construction of the LRT carriages considered the average height of Indonesian adults to be 160cm. Anyone who’s 175cm or taller will have to duck upon entering or exiting the carriages.
The average height of all adult Indonesian men is 168, women is 159 according to the the Statistics Bureau. However, younger Indonesians are more likely to be taller.
So rather than accommodate for the taller population, they took the route of the average and annoyed thousands.

My comment in @wired about sabotage disrupting railways in Poland. Radio emission brings trains to a halt in several places. Who's behind unclear. Executing this sabotage is technically simple (I explain), though requires proximity. Solution: move to GSM-R.

Tunnel Vision: An Unauthorized BART Ride is a documentary film by local timelapse photographer Vincent Woo. Embark on a journey with a camera secretly attached to a BART train and ride through the arteries of the Bay Area. A hidden world is revealed through intersecting passageways, flashes of graffiti, and sections of track only witnessed by BART operators:
