Looks kinda bad, hey
Today we're unveiling our eighth locomotive in Metro-North’s Heritage Series—a moving tribute to our nation’s veterans.
Created and designed by Metro-North veterans, this locomotive embodies gratitude to those who have worn the uniform, both within the Metro-North family and across the country.

One of the arguments the Class Is and AAR put up any time anyone talks about freight rail electrification is that there's no electric locomotives designed for US/NA freight service. While on the surface this claim is true, it's also not a big deal
To prove it, let's talk about this fucking thing

no one has ever spoken like this about a GoA4 (grade-of-automation four, or no staff on-board and completely automatic) driverless metro

Another photograph of the spirited departure from London Victoria yesterday by the MNLPS-owned Rebuilt 'Merchant Navy' Class @ClanLine28, hauling a Railway Touring Company special to Hastings on a bitterly cold, wet morning. An almost monochromatic image (apart from the train, that is!).

Have you heard of the Transit Death Spiral? It's happening right now in Metro Vancouver. Nic Laporte explains it perfectly in this video in collaboration with Movement. Do you think we can flip this downward spiral into growth that serves the needs of our region?

Happy birthday to the Soviet linguist Yuri Knorozov who casually deciphered the Mayan script in 1952 and got pissed when editors removed his cat as co-author on papers or cropped her out of his author headshot (the only picture of himself he even liked)

Meanwhile the Seattle Times weighs in, apparently not knowing that the City of Seattle actually plays a substantial role in bus service via the Seattle Transportation Benefit District, which provides a significant amount of $$ to Metro and thus giving the City a say in how Metro operates
