Did I miss the era of trans-atlantic passenger ships? I've been on a ocean liner before but from what I can see all thats left is the QM2 and even basic tickets are expensive as fuck. I guess I could just go on a Carnival cruise line for a few days...

don't be sad that it's over smile because it happenedalso post qt antique trains if you gottem
>>1439081I’ve always wanted to go to Seashore. Are they really the world’s largest? And is it all trolleys or do they have trains?
>>1440709It's a mix, they have trolleys, trains, trolleybuses, a bit of everything.
>>1434357That certainly describes the Ogden Train museum to a T.
>>1434441THEY NOW HAVE F40PH
Shelburne Falls Trolley Museume is tiny but worth the visit if you are in the ariea and they have handcar rides.
What are this year's must-have accessories to be an Unracer™? I don't want anyone to think I'm one of those cyclists, ugh. This is NOT a race!
>>1440932>which is basedou can put your weed in there.Bikesnob needs to lay off the 4chan. I mean he even changed his name to a meme, wtf is that
>>1440932>Not only does this render your food and personal effects readily accessible right from the cockpit, but it also frees up all your other pockets for weed.yeah but where are you gonna put the rest of your weed if your bar bag is full of sandwiches or whatever like dude just stop at a brewery and get an impossible burger and a brut.
>>1440582Lmao based. Today i literally was bumbling in the forest hopping logs on my 25c. I cant imagine light gravel as pictured being a problem. Granted if you wanna race or be comfy bogger is better. But dont act like your bike CANT do it, its you.
>>1440932>bike fashion has shifted away from the Galactic Empire and gone decidedly more Rebel Alliance.cringingly accurate but rebel alliance > galactic empire
>>1440582yea couple years ago before gravel blew up I lived near a bunch of dirt/gravel fire roads. Went down to bike shops and asked if they had cross tires...the local dudes looked at me and said they just used their normal road tires....no big deal.
>How about another takeoff, con-trol?
>>1438154What a chad
>KLM had suggested initially that Veldhuyzen van Zanten should help with the investigation, not realising that he was in fact the KLM captain who had perished in the accident.So was everyone having an off day or what?
>>1438159LIKE A SUPERSTAR
>>1438154>Bragg described the initial impact as little more than “a bump and some shaking.” All five men in the cockpit, located at the forward end of the 747’s distinctive upper-deck hump, saw the KLM jet coming and had ducked. Knowing they’d been hit, Bragg instinctively reached upward in an effort to pull the “fire handles” — a set of four overhead-mounted levers that cut off the supply of fuel, air, electricity, and hydraulics running to and from the engines. His arm groped helplessly. When he looked up, the roof was gone.>Turning around, he realized that the entire upper deck had been sheared off at a point just aft of his chair. He could see all the way to the tail, two hundred feet behind him. The fuselage was shattered and burning. He and Captain Grubbs were alone in their seats, on a small, fully exposed perch over high above the ground. Everything around them had been lifted away like a hat. The second officer and jumpseat stations, their occupants still strapped in, were hanging upside-down through what seconds earlier was the ceiling of the first class cabin.
>Oh, yes
Hello /n/Like many cyclists here, I have had a few bikes stolen over the years. I hate bike thieves and the lack of action taken against them. So, I am going to be setting up my own bait bikes as I live near a top ten theft hotspot. I have a nice shiny road bike arriving on the 1st along with a gps tracker and a rubbish bike lock! Wish me luck :)
>>1440734Carrying on the work behind the scenes! Wont update the thread further but rest assured I will continue to fight cycle crime. Hopefully others join the fight

>>1441113OP set up a honeypot bike. They reported back when they got a thief arrested.
In my neighborhood there's a two lane highway, construction went on for nearly two years making roads narrow (to create wide bike lanes with protected islands) plenty of apartment complexes are being built all over and it pisses me off that nobody will use those bike lanes,milions of dollars wasted, and a whole bunch more traffic. I did some research and it seems they hired some Europeans to design the roads. Why the actual fuck do they want to convert us to thin eurocuck roads? Shitty pic but just example of the massive increase in traffic I'm seething so hard. Am I in wrong for being angry about this?
>>1440836No need to cut into the sidewalk la' They really fucked you over they just needed painted bike lanes lmao
they were right to do this. it wont be very long before these bike lanes fill up. just wait a bit, youll see

>>1440344>the clearance damage doesn't seem too much of a problem.easy peasy, the cause of the collision is old station platform stairs. few hours of smashing the old stairs should do the trick. I forgot to mention that in some railroad switches, the cowcatcher had some close calls with the rail switch's electric motor. >Also KCI already use felica system on their cards. it seems KCI also pursues Suica payment system for easier usage in future E217 operations>The problem is the age of E217 and it's reputation for failing frequently due to long operation range.we had experiences in handling old trainsets, especially types like Tokyo Metro 5000 & Toyo Rapid 1000.

>>1440919I'm surprised that they decided to include Namie in the Capital Area instead of the Sendai Area. I wonder why.

>>1440892So, am I missing something? Did the UP own the Milwaukee Road? Why do some MILW engines have their yellow scheme? Is this just a coincidence or is there a reason. Does it go back to something involving the City of San Francisco?
Anyone here have one of Bachmann's Chinese Steam locomotives? I want to get one but not sure what one to buy. Probably gunna buy the QJ first and get the others eventually, but there really isnt any good videos online of them running
>>1440930didn't MILW's FP45s not have dynamics?
>>1440964>Why do some MILW engines have their yellow scheme?Because Union Pacific was retarded. For whatever reason UP had a partnership deal with Rock Island, Chicago Northwestern and I believe someone else for long-distance passenger trains from Chicago to points west. CRIP ran part of it, CNW ran part of it, UP supplied the equipment and also ran part of it. Something like that.Well, as I'm sure you guys know the Rock Island and CNW were on shaky turf just like MILW, with Rock prob being the worst. Eventually the condition of CRIP and CNW forced UP to axe the deal, and they sought out MILW to partner with instead.Part of the deal was for MILW to provide their highly reputed passenger services on UP trains. This also called for MILW passenger equipment to be painted in Union Pacific colors (which was actually cheaper and easier to maintain than MILW's superior colors) so equipment could be shared as needed.So after about 1965, MILW's home passenger trains like the Twin Cities Hiawatha, Olympian Hiawatha, Pioneer Limited and Arrow would be turning more and more yellow, until finally...
>>1440976>didn't MILW's FP45s not have dynamics? When you go back to the 1980's, 1970's, and especially the 1960's, many diesel locomotives did not have Dynamic brakes. In today's world it's rare to not have them. 40 years ago it was about half and half. MILW's passenger trains didn't usually encounter serious hills (TC Hiawatha route is pretty damn flat) and were so equipped.

>>1440459>What is it with drivers just having to get in front of you immediately, at all costs?Can confirm, if you don't sit right in the middle of a single lane road where they can't overtake you, they will 100% try to overtake you, even 20m before a roundabout despite the fact the you want very much not to be squished while they enter the roundabout.There's something really deeply subconscious in a lot of drivers' brains that tells them>bike SLOW>MUST overtake slow
>>1440455>>1440459>engaging with deranged cagers>escalating the situationYou're not doing anyone any favors.
>>1440497I did a cross-Canada bike tour a couple years back, and I can't even offer an estimate at the number of times cars passed me right before blind corners or hilltops.Saw a fair number of near misses where they barely made it out of the way as another vehicle came into sight.Like, holy shit I know all about the cager "ME GO FAST, NOTHING MUST SLOW ME DOWN" mentality, but slow down for all of 5 seconds until you can be sure no one is coming or one day your number is going to be called and you'll kill yourself or someone else.
