In all my free time (๐Ÿคฃ), I've turned into an accidental hobbyist, run the automated weekly build system for fork , spoil the giant pile of needy , and play on anything that doesn't run away from me fast enough. Any time left after that is usually "spotting" mechanical things, if it's machinery I'm probably interested. Some (also an collector), , and grew up ( for Americans).

@garius Yes! I had been a Trains magazine subscriber since I was a kid but until I got online 30+ years ago, I didn't really realize just how many of us there were & how far down certain rabbit holes folks had gone.

The Siemens S200 LRV needs some fanart, so I thought I'd draw up the version planned for use by the Cleveland RTA.

I do think the scheme is a bit on the bland side...would it hurt to bring back the eye-catching traction orange?

@N3VEM Pennsy, very clearly. :-) I have only a passing knowledge of PRR lineside structures, but my *guess* would be a telephone to talk to the dispatcher or block operator in pre-radio (or pre-Trainphone!) days as needed. There trainloads of web resources that cover the PRR and there is probably A Guy who knows the date that it was built.

This is a really well done video. If you are a rail fan, or cyclist, or a Californian, I think you'll like it.

I can finally tick the BR Class 395 Javelin off my train bucket list (and rode on 395012 aka the no less). Unsurprisingly similar to the 80x series, but the ride comfort was a bit better imo.

Hopefully the Eurostar is gonna be something I experience in the not too distant future

I've gone down some pretty deep YouTube holes on the freight of , as pictured in the toot above this one.

Sometimes the slang cracks me up. A locomotive might be called the obvious: locomotra or maquina.

But the switchers used by are also called patieras: yarders, or yard switchers.

The best term, though, is cotorra. That's the word for parrot -- a nod to the engines' green and yellow paint scheme.
