Lost Narrow Gauge Railways

Anonymous Wed 06 Sep 23:12:30 2017 No.1106531 View Reply Original Report Download thread

Quoted By:

Thread for narrow gauge railways which closed and are totally lost or abandoned.

Such as the Rye And Camber Tramway which ran from 1895 to 1939.

Before anyone says "Anon you dumbfuck tramways and railways are two different things!"

It was still considered a railway regardless.

Quoted By:

Does anyone with more expertise or experience now how often bus routes actually change? Surely there's a lot of bus routes out there are well-established and stable, and where the volume of bus traffic would favour an investment in overhead power instead of a large battery-powered fleet.

Interestingly enough, when CTA bought their trial battery electric buses they claimed that the batteries have the same lifetime as the bus - 12 years. They also said that the battery would last for 80-100 miles which might be a reasonable distance for a bus to cover in a day. Does this mean that the battery thing isn't really an issue then? Or perhaps the added weight and cost of batteries across the fleet is less than trolley catenary?

What's worth considering is growth areas where a trolley bus line could later be converted to a tram/light rail if done carefully.

You have your choices-
>Sit on a plastic seat and travel from one end of a line to another, and watch in amazement as the quality of the environment gradually spirals between each station (North Springs to College Park on the Red Line is like nothing I've ever seen before).

Or

>Take the two-a-day Crescent between Atlanta and Toccoa, the train headed Northbound comes around at 8-9:00, and you'll end up arriving at and having to stay, to quote the Macho Man, "Unjustifiably in a position I'd rather not be in" in some podunk town miles away from Atlanta (Or, Heaven forbid, Gainesville). And prepare to make it a day trip, motherfucker, 'cause the Crescent is bound for NY- and you won't be seeing her for quite a spell.

There is no comfy choice in Atlanta, Anon. You're ass is gonna be in a leather seat, on a crowded interstate, and you're gonna be uncomfortable and be FUCKING PLEASED ABOUT IT. What? The streetcar you say? Sure, get your /comfy/ from the Hobo Carousel- good luck with that.

It also depends on the state of the track. Higher-speed rail (not just HSR) needs more care with maintenance.

In some cases, the real issues are with junctions or crossings. At-grade crossings don't mix well with safe fast trains in any setting other than the quietist areas.

The front isn't intended to be aerodynamic as such; it's designed for crash & pedestrian safety. It's a tram, it's never going faster than 50kph, so it's not like the aerodynamics are a huge issue.

It's a Sprinter train, stops at every station. It'll reach speeds of about 140-150 km/h on long stretches. But accessibility for maintenance is more important than aerodynamics. All the equipment on the roof is probably HVAC systems, prone to breaking down on a moving and shaking vehicle.

sort of new to spd but tried out both single sided road pedals and 2 sided mtb via my bike co-op - much prefer the mountain for ease of clipping in and out, shoes are comfy but you might have to play around with shims to get the cleats totally recessed, make them walkable etc...
my main gripe with all these pedals is they're so fucking ugly compared to nice touring platforms with cages and straps - i'll not go back to those now though.
