Looku up Brave Dave's Big Fat Freight Hop series on YouTube for a look at what it's like for inexperienced travellers. He travelled from Montreal to Vancouver and it's a great series.

Yeah you do need knowledge before hand and ideally you'd want to travel with someone who has done it before but you can still do it alone. Just educate yourself on things beforehand and be careful about your safety.

Where do you think the recording box is? I remember reading a post of a technician who got fired for covering up the cameras but wouldn't it be better to just disconnect the power from the camera box? No vandalism of course but if they expect to review the footage then it would have to be somewhere accessible, especially if it was rigged on. Might make DPU riding viable again

That would trigger an anti-tampering alarm.

I wished the common man had enough put away money to be able to force their will by simply quitting/striking. Its sad to see the ones who labor is the most important be essentially a slave class. its either slave away for scraps, or dont and starve

If you're not storing it on active rail and its presence isn't violating any local laws, you could definitely have any type of rail car you wanted on your property.

Getting it to you is the biggest challenge, however. You can probably find gondolas for sale right now. Paying to have a single car shipped to you can be a bit of a hassle because you're the exact kind of customer that most railroads don't want. They want volume, e.g. a rock plant getting 75 cars a day or some shit like that.

Get it shipped to someone else's track nearby and then pay to get it trucked the last bit.

It's still going to cost more for the shipping than they car, most likely.

As an example tidbit, when Age of Steam acquired their AT&N 2-10-0, they paid roughly $10,000 for the locomotive. Having it trucked from where it was to an active rail siding (approximately 4 miles away) to be loaded onto a flatcar and delivered by rail cost approximately $90,000.

e-found-in-the-titanic-wreckage-1.6392896


Twelve Toronto streetcar tickets sunk on the Titanic and were unearthed decades later on the sandy floor of the Atlantic Ocean.

The tattered tickets, printed with streetcar illustrations and “Toronto” in block letters, were tucked into the wallet of Major Arthur Peuchen, a Toronto entrepreneur who was onboard the Titanic before it collided with an iceberg in 1912.

The entrepreneur was heading home from a meeting in London, when he boarded the luxury ship alongside other mega-wealthy “Astors and Guggenheims,” as Bunch put it.

At least 34 passengers on the Titanic were Canadian, he said. There was Harry Molson, inheritor of the Molson brewing empire, and Hudson Allison, one of Quebec’s most successful stock brokers.

On April 14, Peuchen was getting ready for bed around 11:30 p.m., when he felt what he thought was a heavy wave hitting the ship.

“I would simply have thought it was an unusual wave which had struck the boat; but knowing that it was a calm night and that it was an unusual thing to occur on a calm night, I immediately put my overcoat on and went up on deck,” Peuchen said, recalling the events of that fateful night during an inquiry into the sinking of the Titanic just months later.

It's the Mallard's sibling! LNER A4 Silver Link, named after a poem by Walter Scott.

>True love's the gift which God has given
>To man alone beneath the heaven;
>It is not fantasy's hot fire,
>Whose wishes, soon as granted, fly;
>It liveth not in fierce desire,
>With dead desire it doth not die;
>It is the secret sympathy,
>The silver link, the silken tie,
>Which heart to heart, and mind to mind,
>In body and in soul can bind.

Is the Japan Rail Pass over? As of October 2023, prices nearly double as pic related. You don't need to understand Japanese to see the old price on the left hand column, and the new price on the right hand column. JR press release: https://japanrailpass.net/pdf/JRP_pressrelease_230414.pdf

My local JTB (largest Japanese travel agency and authorized Japan Rail Pass retailer) told me it's possible to buy one on the last day of Sept, wait the maximum 3 months to activate it, and then use it to my heart's content. Japanese nationals must show permanent residence outside of Japan and demonstrate they've lived at least 10 years out of the country.

I've bought it twice before about 15 and 10 years ago. Where would you go if you could go on any JR line? Touristy (nee Joyful) trains are so much more popular now and they're delightful to see everywhere in the country.
