Are the Democrats willing to: 1. Eliminate environmental laws, allowing the tracks to be laid, damned be a protected wetland or an endangered species in the way, 2. Eliminate private property laws, telling affected homeowners and businesses that they're on their own - damned be that pesky Constitut...

I never said I didn't want HSR but where were the private companies decades ago? They didn't build a mile of HSR until now! It's ridiculous! Private sector maybe less effected by regulations and overruns but they are not immune to them. Not agreeing or disagreeing, but I looked up these facts: * Po...

Saying the private sector should be the only ones building HSR is the same nonsense politicians from a certain party has regurgitating for years. Well there apparently is real interest. Vegas and Texas projects are probably going to happen. Of course what Brightline is doing is super impressive. Th...

We cannot be always reliant on private sector alone for everything. Little investment in the past 40 to 50 years resulted in very little being done. Saying the private sector should be the only ones building HSR is the same nonsense politicians from a certain party has regurgitating for years.

I haven't been to RMLI in years. Is the M1 cars still there?

There has to have been a lot of progress in the past two years!

I take a lot of what Penner says with a grain of salt.

Maybe we should nationalize the railroad. Oh, wait......

Here's the other part of the point I'm making ... I don't think the Obama administration was really sold on federal funding for this project either. It's such an obvious choice for Recovery Act money and even then they didn't pursue it either. The problems with the tunnel didn't get really bad unti...

I heard that the speed limit in Atlantic Terminal is now 5 mph. Is this speed limit recent or was it always 5 mph?

I haven't uploaded any NY Subway videos in a while but these two videos are of R160 F and Diverted E train action at 21st St-Queensbridge and Roosevelt Island on the 63rd Street Line. These are some of the newer stations on the NY Subway both opened in 1989, they are in better shape than the Archer ...

Double Feature! These videos were both taken on the same day in October 2016 at the recently renovated Massapequa station. They are of some LIRR M7 train action. It's been a while.

Let's see what happens when the tunnels fail. How are PA, NJ and NY tax payers going to subsidize farmers in the Midwest? $12 billion was set aside for farmers due to Trump's trade war. There's a good chunk of the tunnel right there. Housing rates in NYC are going to skyrocket even further than the...
