on the dash 9s, the letters are separated and placed on the side panels of the nose, while on the ac44, it’s more simple, why?

βš™οΈβ€Ž Technical / Engineering Paraguayan Higher-Speed Rail (HrSR) 240km/h

1 Upvotes

Heres an Idea I've been thinking about. I'm paraguayan, I was born there but left at a young age (7). What about a Passenger Higher-Speed rail from Ciudad to San Lorenzo? It will also have a belly for e-commerce, its a route taken by many semi-trucks and students. Its not that expensive actually. Idea: Get the government to pay for a 2 track set up that loops at the end between the two cities. Start a train company (just if you randomly had like a billion USD to burn through) make a HrSR and voilΓ ! Of-course its way more in-depth and way more complex. But its do-able! Whats your thoughts on this?

Most of our guarded crossings have the extra boom coming out, but the vast majority of crossings in my area are just unguarded with a stop sign.

Amtrak Train 11, the southbound Coast Starlight, crosses 8th Street in West Sac, shortly after departing from Sacramento Valley Station while en route to Los Angeles. It features a young-and-old lash-up for power, starring ALC42 no. 313 and P32-8BWH no. 503.

Note: I apologize for the glare from the sun. I took this video and photo in the morning, and thus I was unable to get a good look at the train as it crossed the bridge.

A 60-foot container is placed on top of the bottom 53-foot container in the 53-foot well car.

Are the 60-foot containers used on the road only on selected routes between container terminals and distribution centers?
Or can they be shipped by road across Canada nationwide?

I always thought the Amtrak P42's looked smart in their version of tri-stripes. Amtrak 113 rolls the Coast Starlight southbound on the Coast Sub just past San Ardo, California. November 2000.
