Two countries’ rail companies are planning a slower connection between the capitals, in addition to the high-speed link.

This story hits so many of my interests - #Botany, #YorkUK, even #RailHistory - a rare plant, York groundsel (Senecio eboracensis), has been brought back from extinction, and it was rare in the first place because it hybridized in industrial land around the York railway station (first identified in the car park in 1979!).

Someone set up a camera to record every train that goes by their flat, then runs computer vision software to make elongated images and get speeds and lengths. I'm jealous! https://trains.jo-m.ch/#/trains/list

A terrific resource for anyone researching #PullmanPorter ancestors, from the wonderful #Newberry #Genealogy Library in #Chicago:
"Teach with primary sources from the Newberry's collections. This FREE lesson plan teaches students about the #Pullman Company--one of the largest employers of #AfricanAmericans in the early 20th century--and the #porters who worked there."

Does #MastoTrain exist as a hashtag? Or #TrainStodon? Anyway, moral of the story is that the Amaterasu Railway is running their engines on old Ramen broth (or the fatty parts of it, more accurately), so the exhaust smells like fried rice -- and OH BOY do I have a new place to visit!
