Space transportation general: Stage Separating into a new year edition.

This general is here because spaceflight is increasing exponentially. We are up to at least a launch per week and we are now in the midst of flight testing an industry revolutionizing fully reusable
super heavy lift launch vehicle.

Any of you guys live in New York and ride the train? What was your experience?

After almost 15 years, the Eglinton Crosstown LRT is nearing completion. Earliest date being 1st of June, 2025. Thus, 2026 is the reasonable timeframe.

What could have been done to save the Pacific Electric Railway?

What would public transit in LA be like today if it had been?

>In Caltrain’s transition from diesel to electric, the transit agency opened a new online store featuring a variety of branded merchandise. In addition to holiday sweaters and exclusive boxed models of the new electric train, a much larger commodity is up for sale: the “Caltrain EMD F40PH-2 Locomotive (Used).”
>“These gently used, lovingly maintained 1985 F40 diesel locomotives could be yours,” the listing states. “The historic locomotives come with 40 years of service, and more than 1,000,000 miles traveled. Perfect for your model train set, train-themed diners, ornamental lawn decor or planter box, unconventional bed n breakfast or just to show up your overly gnomed neighbor’s lawn.”
> When Caltrain completes its electrification project with full service Sept. 21, it will retire most of its diesel fleet. Almost 100 gallery cars will likely be sold to another operator, said Caltrain spokesman Dan Lieberman, and the locomotives are being split up by age.
>Nine newer diesel locomotives will remain in use for the Gilroy service, which isn’t undergoing electrification because Caltrain doesn’t own that portion of the corridor. However, Caltrain has 20 diesel locomotives that have passed their expected retirement dates and will no longer be operational.
>These older trains might be scrapped, Lieberman said, but first, Caltrain wanted to give rail fans the opportunity to bring them home and make something out of them.
>The engine must be disabled and the buyer must cover the costs of storage and transportation, according to the listing. The locomotives will officially go up for auction in October.

It is said that if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Are you one of the good ones, /n/? Do people say you're not like those other cyclists?

Urban or rural?

Defining terms:
--Inner urban: every building is 4+ stories
--Outer urban: Like dense suburbs, street parking (if available) is always parked out or requires tickets/permits
--Suburbs: Developed areas where you can drive and be 100% certain free parking will be available at or near your destination
--Semi-rural: Outskirts of a larger city, blocks are far bigger than residential lots but not big enough for large scale commercial farming
==Rural: Small towns or farmland
--Buttfuckistan: Australian outback tier, the nearest fuel station is 110 km away and it's a busy day when it gets 2 customers in the same hour

Can anyone explain why this is wrong, or why it isn't done more often?
>doesn't actually remove parking lane
>any place with sufficient off-street parking keeps the parking lane mostly clear anyway
>prevents bike lanes from effectively being in the gutter
The only thing I can think of is the possibility of getting doored.

Winter is coming. What is your experience with picrel, /n/? (It's hard to find reviews online that aren't just bait for Amazon affiliate links, and of course Amazon reviews themselves are often sus). Any particular brands/models you've had success with? From what I gather one of the main general issues is noise.

Ironic. In cities with no nighttime transit, first and last shift bus and tram and train drivers cannot commute to their work by mass transit (unless the company launches a pickup bus service for them)
