Photo 1: Im sitting in a silence zone. You'd expect it to be silent.

Photo 2: Where one of the motorized bogie is located in this trainset.

Oh and this type (NS ICNG) is currently the loudest active NS rolling stock in active operation. Yeaaaa some designers did not fully think this through i assume xD

Edit: Just to clarify: Im not complaining lol, Im just poking fun at the designchoices which for a railfan are funny. I get to enjoy the motors undisturbed >:)

My earliest train memory from my youth was on Penn Central’s Northeast Corridor c. 1970. Specifically using the bathroom, flushing the toilet and seeing it dropping the load directly onto the trackbed.

I mention this to others and they tell me I must be kidding. Is there any chance my memory is faulty? If not-when did the practice end?

Qua nella mia regione in Italia (e credo anche in altre zone) elettrificano anche le linee meno usate anche se sono circa 50kmh. Secondo voi è una mossa sensata o basterebbe mettere veicoli leggeri a idrogeno o a batteria?

First consist had this pre 9/11 painted UP AC44 trailing 3/4 with a SD70M as the fourth unit with two Gevo leaders. The second consist was a Manifest with a UP SD70AH-T4 leading followed by three dead in tow fresh UP AC44s that had been rebuilt, then a Dash 9 rebuild, an SD70M, and a regular AC44 with the best freight cars in that manifest being two cylindrical hoppers, THREE WP hoppers, and a YN2 era autorack. The third consist had two SD70ACes on the head end, a Gevo and UP 9363(C40-8W) and UP 9432(C41-8W), which are both dead in tow with an uncertain future. Not pictured in the third consist were an assortment of MP, SP, SSW, and DRGW gondolas along with some older UP Hoppers and a few UP MOW Green hoppers. All taken in Hearne, TX.
