Both piles of junk symbolise the sorry state of our railways.

They still exist purely as a result of greedy, idiotic, and corrupt companies allowed to form by stupid, short term thinking, and equally corrupt governments.

I cannot wait for the day old BR DMUs along with those damn Pacers are subjected to the cutters torch.

Have you considered just calming down and accepting that you can't really do shit about assholes in cars, and that your best plan is actually to ride defensively and avoid unnecessary situations where you might get in a conflict with a car, instead of planning on escalation and incidents?

Or, if you're such a chicken when it comes to riding traffic, picking a different hobby or limiting yourself to bike paths?

One other depot on that same line is the Dunedin Depot in Dunedin, Florida 10 miles south. That one was built in 1924, also by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad after the original burned down (things seemed to burn a lot more back then). That last train trip in 1987 was between Tarpon Springs and Dunedin, probably because they were the only two cities on that line that still had their station buildings intact.

Small local train station. It's served by 17 local trains daily in each direction. Apart from this one there are another 7 train stations in this city. It's been a long time since I took a train from this particular station because it isn't exactly convenient for city transport. It's rather for commuters going out of the city, still the station is very quiet.

What a fucking stupid thing to say.

>>1031257
Yeah totally worth the few billion to make it. Government sure knows how to throw money in a pit.

Yes it sounds plausible. Trains have only been around for ~200 years, cars for half that, it's not set in stone.

Cities could easily put in the infrastructure to host charging loops and have cars go from charge point to charge point with no batteries, only supercapacitors.

I hate air travel so DGAF about their demise.

>>1026189
>This book argue that while future cars will need to run on electric power, no battery can replace gasoline’s high energy density.
LOL no, that's never going to work. The amount of infrastructure you'd have to install to make it work would run into the trillions, and it wouldn't be practical or even feasible for it to reach everywhere it needs to reach. Necessity is the mother of invention; better battery technologies are being created even as we speak. I also personally suspect that the energy industry has been buying up new technologies and sitting on them, perhaps for decades, waiting for the right time to maximize their profits, after of course fossil fuels and other 'traditional' energy sources are played out, so they can maintain their dominance of the global energy market. People will always want personal vehicles, and personal vehicles will always need to be able to go anywhere, and under their own power. Therefore being tied to a public electric grid just isn't practical, except for mass transit in urban settings.

Now, here in the U.S., at least for the next 4 years, we'll be stuck with a loudmouthed fat lying asshole who, with the backing of the GOP, will try to turn back the clock 50 years and put us back into being dependent on fossil fuels, raping the land (even the national parks system I'm imagining) and screw the consequences to the environment. We'll have fatasses in their equally fatass SUVs that get 10mpg filling up 30 gallon tanks for $0.99 per gallon. Wouldn't at all be surprised if they abolish the use of catalytic converters and smog controls and bring back leaded gasoline, too. If you live here in the U.S., I'd worry more about the NEAR-TERM future of transportation (and everything else!) and less about the FAR-TERM future.

LOL without air travel we would still likely be living in little more than agrarian subsistence-farming societies with no high-tech.

We are already to far gone to be saved. The universe we inhabit is the one where we failed and everything ends up going to shit. It's not that bad though; it could be much worse but it is hopeless still to try and fix everything. Just ride it out and know that in some alternative universe it doesn't suck

Is this bait? I do agree model trains are technically toys and would fit better into that board, but
>implying you can make thread about trains in /toy/ that lasts more than half a dozen of replies
>implying there aren't far more train enthusiasts in /n/
>implying there haven't been discussions about trains in /n/ for years
So go ahead and report, cunt. The mods aren't suddenly going to stop the tradition of modeltrainposting just because of your butthurt.

Why do you like it? I don't like the name because it sounds like it's going to charge up my asshole and spoon it out.

Those fucking rims though

>>1036735
They are a little gaudy but tolerable I suppose.

I'm not sold on the whole 27.5+ thing but it is hard to argue against a bike with those specs for that money. Just ad a dropper and you are set.
