... Yes, but you do realize that all CTA lines are treated operationally as north-south, without regard to compass direction? -- __o Kristian Zoerhoff ...
Interesting as most railroads are strictly east and west. When I refer to the "eastbound Amtrak at Glenview" that can seem confusing to those who do not know...
... Yes, but, IIRC, there's no ear-splitting squeal at Piccadilly Circus. At Waterloo(Bakerloo), not only is the station on a curve, but , in March, 2001, SB...
... Ah, you'd mean NYC. And while South Ferry will become a stub, the loop will still be used for turning 5 trains outside of rush hours. I suppose they...
... Oh yes there is! Approaching the station from the south you get quite a squeal, and it's audible in the station. ... The Waterloo squeal has been remedied...
All this talk makes me think about something my father told me years ago. The more fancy stuff you put on something is just more stuff that can break down at...
Think about it from the standpoint of automobiles. Cars today are far more complex, and have many more features, than in 1956, yet they are also more ...
So what does that have to do with the price of tea in China? Seriously, the more you put on the greater change of a breakdown somewhere. When I worked for ...

Given how bad conditions on the Ryan are, deadheading 103rd buses up Stony and LSD to downtown makes incredible sense. How are 77th downtown deadheads going?...
Those who are the first to deal with an cutting-edge technology tend to get cut. Later, once the first "victims" have had the experience of finding all the...
... I don't have too much exposure to Wal-Mart throughout my life. Having lived most of my life in the city of Chicago, where there still is no Wal-Mart in...
Expectations of what rapid transit cars and autos have gone up over the years, and for much the same reasons. Some feature that is thought of as unnecessary...
I just got an e-mail from someone, who saw a photo of a strange CTA bus at the following URL. http://www.hopetunnel.org/bus/050827/3091c.jpg Does anybody have...

This will be interesting. My guess is that most AM riders whose destination is the Loop will catch whatever comes first. They will have to make a choice on...
Sorry Larry, didn't get to see you this time. However, did Metro get some new New Flyer LF 40s? I thought I saw some on John Ireland/Summit Ave near downtown...
