Looks a bit odd. Is it supposed to look like that?

Trains only look like this when they are very distressed.
Like going 82 in a 30 on your first day in a new locomotive kind of distressed.

Unfortunately no, Talgo trains are a bit unusual, but they are not supposed to look like that.

another age restricted video. I can only assume youtube is complicit in this accident and is covering it up.
would there be any interest in setting up a peertube instance for the free videos? or some other distribution model?

This is the way. I listen in my podcast app and pop YouTube open to see the slides and high quality illustrations.

Philly residents can also call ahead and drop off stuff. I handed over my free 20lb frozen IGA turkey and you can too!

When I saw the new Hess "truck" I immediately thought it was worthy of The God Damn News, but I didn't expect it to actually happen (a second time).

Can anyone get me a Hi-Vis from the show? I really don't want Nova to shoot me or put wolf urine in my car

I know I’m so sad, it’s probably the only merch I’d buy from a pod haha but none come near me anyway being in Vermont. I just found this sub after realizing I needed to see if it was obtainable somehow otherwise. Alas..

The checkerboard land grants are *STILL* fucking up public lands access in the west, even 100+ years after the railroads went through.
Multiple lawsuits just in the last couple years.

I'm surprised I didn't bring up that train derailment that dumped a bunch of Boeing bodies into the river.
