KJP's # 10330. I can't get it to work on the facebook link. Any help to see it?

:wtf: :wtf: Track rendering is interesting for the novice. Can it be made bigger? Which tracks are the old Shaker tracks? Just dreaming: I would like to see some use for these tracks. Any suggestions?

:wtf: Would someone do an update of how the 116 St. station should be.

:-o Maybe add something about drones in the posting.

:wtf: :wtf: :wink2: :yap: :clap: :wave: You know what I'm thinking. These for watching Amtrak, commuter rail,light rail,streetcars. Exception is subways. Comments?

8-) Just found out Vancouver is #3 in production of TV or movies. I found the Translink's The Buzzer blog. They mentioned all the TV shows that used the various Vancouver transit modes: buses,commuter rail,SkyTrain. The latest, I saw was some shots of the Millenium Line Skytrain in the Flash TV show series trailer. It is at 0:25 mark. You can see the Skytrain as Flash runs along the fence. It's very quick. There is another quick one when they did a high speed car roll over. Look up TransLink in TV and film in the blog.

:wtf: Beginning in In Jan. 2015, Missoula Montana's Mountain Line, will begin zero-fare system. Do a search to find lots of info. The plan says it will save a lot of money by not having to buy fare boxes, and the related equipment needed to count money and print fare cards, transfers, and passes. Sponsors have been signed up to pay for the 3 yr. experiment. Comments please. Also, all doors are used. Driver-passenger conflicts reduced or eliminated.

:wtf: I found what trackage were used for each Broadway/Three Rivers. Go to donwinter.com/Railroad Infrastructure and traffic data/Amtrak. It's more than I understand. What would be the route if a new Broadway Limited/Three Rivers would return?

8-) I was thinking about what if the Broadway or Three Rivers could reappear. In what form would be the best route? If i remember, there was a Pre-Amtrak Broadway, Amtrak Broadway, a few Three Rivers routes. What would be the best route and times? I am thinking there is such a demand, there might be a need for multiple trains per day with connections to other trains.

:wtf: We need the Cleve-Pitt proposal too. Maybe then to Chicago? We need the whole NY-Philadelphia-Harrisburg-Pittsburgh- Youngstown-Cleveland toward Chicago. What about the ole Broadway Ltd. route? What would be a good routing?

:wtf: Is there a proposal, like the one above, for a New York, Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh,Youngstown,Cleveland, and Chicago?

:wtf: Now, what would it be like if Kasich said yes to the 3 C's rail line? What would it be now, for those Republican's, to be able to pick the city like Columbus, Cincinnati, or Cleveland? And be able to get to hotel rooms, find Casino's in the 3 cities, etc.?

Sunrail. A new commuter rail line for the Orlando, Fla. area. Search Sunrail on Youtube. What do you think of it? Could it work in Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh?

:wtf: :wtf: Is it true that the Allentown section is shutdown because of money problems? What could be done to use this line better? Any ideas?

:wtf: Is there any ideas for any future commuter rail, light rail, or streetcar lines for Pittsburgh?

:wtf: Is there anything left of the old Shaker lines,be it old tunnels,right of way,old station at tower city, that can used for future rapids?

:-) Nice pics in one place.

:wtf: How can Senior Citizen groups getting involved? Could they buy in as a group?

:wtf: Just looked at the new 2013 schedules. I am not familliar with the system. It should be good since it is a "college" town. Any comments?

Hope the rest of the site returns.

:roll: Since my post in July, Antone's has closed the store in-front of the Liberty Plaza-Walmart. I have seen the new location in the former Rotellie's. The parking lot seems to be busy whenever I've seen it. Good luck to Antone's.

Does anybody remember if there is some type of layout posted of the Red Line car's overhall. Including any different seating arrangements and configurations of the space for bikes,wheel chairs, or those motorized scooter things? Or is it not possible to use these on the Red Line?

FYI: Not much good news comes to WRTA. The (Youngstown) Vindicator has a front page article and pictures about the long awaited repairs to the downtown Federal Station. $1.1 million for interior improvements over 6 months. Ashley Luthern, [email protected], did the story.

:clap: I like this idea too!

:wtf: What about some kind of "Skip Stop" or "Express" service on the Healthline?
