People are waiting two hours to get into Union Stationβs tour of Railroad cars and Equipment at the Train Festival.
Contrary to what the auto and oil lobby tells you, people love trains. #rail #train #Amtrak #hsr #Metrolink #MetroLosAngeles #LosAngeles

Metro Los Angeles' Regional Connector opens in two weeks. It has the potential to be a transformative project, allowing run-through service without needing to transfer downtown. The Link Union Station project has the potential of being similarly transformative for Metrolink, enabling run-through service as we move from the concept of "commuter rail" to "regional rail".

Bad news: The person in the flat with the big Taylor Swift cut out in the window near Cornbrook is moving!!! π±
Good News: The Taylor Swift cut out is being sold for charity. π€
Doubleplus Good News: It is now a clause in the tenancy agreement that a replace cut out will be displayed in the window. π

Another friend told me he is moving out to Palm Springs. I hope they finish the Coachella Valley - San Gorgonio Pass Rail Project soon.

Looking to connect with public transit advocates in Southern California, and all over really.
Also, want a "Second rail revolution" in America with Amtrak, regional rail, intercity rail. and high speed rail.

Congrats to our UK colleagues on the opening of #ElizabethLine, better late than never. Hopefully some lessons learnt from #Crossrail as we move #Metrolink (first announced 2005) off the drawing board and into construction here in Dublin.
RT @ianvisits: In July 1993, a brand new railway called Crossrail was announced.
At 6:30am on 24th May 2022, a brand new railway called the #Elizabethline has opened.

I'm on the #Metrolink going from Claremont to Rialto. I've been wanting to do this for a while: ride to the western terminus of the Pacific Electric, then take the train to the eastern terminus and ride bike to my brother's house. Sounds absurd, but it's striking me as particularly fun.
