@trashyhonky Gnarly, dude.

Newcastle trams are Australia's first High Speed Railway.

Waiter waiter more pre election bullshit please

@trashyhonky That depends on you!

@BerryAndBitty Nuclear fallout from Maralinga. Everyone was like that in the '80s.

They're digging more than a ton of clay.

[Suburban Rail Loop @suburbanloop]

We’ve started digging out your new SRL station in Clayton.

@matthewmusing I mean, it's outrageous.

[Railmaps @railmaps]

This is a secret, apparently.

A dozen new train stations have been mapped out for Sydney’s west, with suburbs like Maryland, Marsden Park and Oran Park targeted for new driverless trains according to secret modelling for new Metros. https://t.co/iLVVKOSExK

@SFoamer Great action shot of the rear end of a single ended 930 Alco.

@trashyhonky That's not to be sneezed at

The most interesting thing about the 'solar panels in railway tracks' thing is nothing about the solar or railway technology, and not the energy implications (or lack thereof). The most interesting thing is how people react. It's a psychology experiment.

Say what you will about China, but this seems significant.

@AuspiciousTimes It will be massively ironic if Trump's legacy is to have accelerated the world's switch away from reliance on oil.

@GarethDennis Worth noting even though that UK contact has already been signed, their first train won't run until 2032 (so good luck getting anything on the rails within a 4 year Vic Parliamentary term that's yet to start), AND the cost per car is more than double Vic's fully electric XTrap2.

@GarethDennis This brainworm has spread here.
Note the example this candidate is citing! There's some value for longer routes, but this is to avoid electrifying Sunshine to Melton: 25km of plain, straight double track in open, flat suburban expansion area with no tunnels or low overbridges

[gravel gamer @gravel_gamer]

He replied with this when I asked why they couldn't just electrify

[Railmaps @railmaps]

A bit of history for context.

One of these competitive tram driving events is held each year, alternating between a European event as this year (even though Melbourne is participating), and a World event, which next year will be hosted in Melbourne.
