What would your dream transportation job be? Any time period, any place.

For me, it would be running steam locomotives on the ATSF from the late 1930s to the end of steam. A close second would be an airline captain in the 1950s and 60s to experience the beginning of the jet age.

> As a train enthusiast, none of these are brightlines fault. The only reason they have so many deaths are because of people doing stupid things around the tracks like trying to beat the train, or walking on the tracks.
Do you autists not realize how sociopathic this makes you look?
The train has killed over 180 people since 2017.
It's killing a person EVERY THIRTEEN DAYS.

>Bike Training
Not sure if this is better on /fit/ or here but I assume I'll get probably less shittier posts here. How are you handling training in the winter? I've been forcing myself to zwift more and I have no idea how people do races so frequently where they can do 2-3x a week.

>The aircraft, registered as VT-EHH, was a Boeing 737-2A8F from the Baby Boeing family. Delivered to Indian Airlines in 1982, it later operated with Alliance Air before Air India converted it into a freighter in 2007.
>It flew with India Post titles but was grounded at Kolkata Airport in 2012. Instead of being sold, scrapped, or parted out, the jet sat idle in a remote corner of the airfield and disappeared from the airline's fixed-asset documentation.
>Kolkata Airport officials eventually contacted Air India to request the removal of the abandoned jet.
>This prompted a detailed internal check that confirmed the aircraft had been omitted from multiple documents for years.
>Air India CEO Campbell Wilson informed staff that, in the years leading up to privatization, VT-EHH was repeatedly left out of internal records.
>As a result, the aircraft did not factor into the valuation during the Tata Group acquisition. Before privatization, the carrier did not maintain the kind of structured fixed-asset registers that well-run airlines use to track depreciation, parking charges, insurance liability, and maintenance cycles.

Old thread from 2023 finally hit bump limit >>1955863

New thread. "Cycling infrastructure" is harm reduction. But not in the way you probably think. The anti-bike crowd considers riding a bicycle on public roads as an offense against the interests of motorists. An so, they wish to create infrastructure to reduce cycling (harm). Yes! Those who advocate for "separate but equal" are (whether they admit it or not) working against the interests of bicycle users:

-The American Automobile Association strongly supports bike lanes
-Countries that place responsibility on car drivers have 70-90% fewer fatalities per billion km traveled by bike. This is of course beyond the pale, drivers must always have total immunity. But hey, look, green paint! We solved safety!
-The true purpose of bike lanes is to neutralize the opposition by corrupting the discourse. Don't support bike lanes? Then you must not care about safety!
-Bike lanes have a curious pattern of appearing where they are superfluous, and vanishing as you approach potential traffic conflict zones. This way, when you get run over by a dump truck making a turn, it's your fault! You shoulda been in the bike lane that wasn't there!

In conclusion: bike lane activists hate cyclists and want to eradicate cycling as a form of transportation.
