Couldn't agree more. I wonder what harebrained scheme they'll come up with next?

Where's VENICE III, a modern city-state city on pilings?

How about about hanging garden of Babylon 2?

Or maybe one of those UK brutalist megaprojects?

Google Street View screenshot. A single-track railway runs straight through a landscape of green, treeless rolling hills. Wooden poles hold up an overhead wire along the railway, and a smaller pole displays a white sign simply reading "Birds Landing". Windmills dot the background.

Interior walls are designed in Inkscape and printed on cardstock, then laminated to the basswood structure. A very fast way to have a nice interior to glimpse though the windows

If any of you model railroad guys want a portrait of your finest (or grubbiest) motive power, drop us a line!

Which transit agencies that have weekend/Sunday service actually design service for patterns of how people move on weekends versus just a broad, general reduction in frequency to save money?

Do any exist? Or is just for cost savings?

#TodayInHistory: #OnThisDay in 1950, the last trolley crossed the Brooklyn Bridge. A major transit artery for much of its history, the Brooklyn Bridge had also carried cable cars and an elevated railway. Trolleys were the last to go. These #NYTMcollection photos show trolleys on the Brooklyn Bridge.

Ah, so the last things that made the store worth visiting before they went anti-woke. I wish them a very rocky chapter 7 bankruptcy.

I finally had the chance a few years ago to fly a glider out of Truckee, CA in the Sierras and it was phenomenal. Unpowered flight is so, so underrated.

Returning the roof to silver as the E69.002 originally had really adds a nice touch.

No stripes for this engine, looks better without 'em
