i dont take the ferry every day but i used to take it home any time i ended work and wanted to go drinking
it's a hobo haven. there's a public library right there too and the pedbridge is overtly unsafe because it's full of gang members and hobos straight up live in it. there's signs literally saying "do not sleep here overnight" but the jeet security guards do not stop them. and particularly "tramp" styled boomer hobos like to fish from the boardwalk whilst smoking crack. it's actually the most east coast shit you will see in your life. some scruffy wiry individual wearing three parkas and no pants with a bright orange toque rolled up so far it's basically a beret will hit his glass pipe (filled only with hopes and dreams, supply chain issues, please understand) and throw his rod right in the water
also people claim there's giant wharf rats around but i think they're just seeing raccoons. i've seen tons of field mice and a couple normal-sized rats but never a WHARF RAT (i did spot a marmotte-looking thing on the nearby trail once though)

>>2062274 I used to work right near there and I never saw one the fabled giant wharf rats either.
I did have a one of those methheads express concern about me fishing in the harbour though, he said the mackerel there aren't good eating. I was keeping em for bait.

Is vaping in bus / metro / trains illegal ? ive seen some kids vaping and blowing the smoke in their hoodies or sometimes keeping the smoke in their lungs until it becomes barely visible. Are there like smoke detectors on them ?

>>2062241 aren't smoke alarms triggered by temperature? IIRC exhaled vape clouds don't reach the necessary temps to trigger it. Or are those old smoke alarm?
Anonymous
>>2062292 Some smoke alarms work by having a small radioactive element thats detected by the alarms trigger. When smoke enters the monitor, it blocks out the radiation and that trips the alarm. A dense vapor cloud potentially do that as well

Hey guys I love when school busses are repurposed either for USA van lifers or as public transit in other countries like MX, Nica, Guatemala, etc. SO I saw this and took a picture to share with you all I love the green color.

>The San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway (reporting mark SDAE) is a short-line American railroad founded in 1932 as the successor to the San Diego and Arizona Railway (SD&A), which was founded in 1906 by entrepreneur John Spreckels. Dubbed "The Impossible Railroad" by many engineers of its day due to the immense logistical challenges involved, the line was established in part to provide San Diego with a direct rail link to the east by connecting with the Southern Pacific Railroad lines in El Centro, California. >the railroad has a checkered history, with periodic disruptions in service to rockslides, storms, fires, and derailments, and has never been profitable >the line ceased being used in its entirety decades ago and has been bounced around by owner to owner ever since >at present, only a fraction of the line in San Diego, Mexico, and Campo is actively used, with the rest being left to decay Here's my questions: 1. Were the "Impossible Railroad's" issues inherent to the climate and terrain, or more so the technological/economic limitations at the time of its construction (the railroad was built with anachronistic infrastructure such as wooden trestles)? 2. If funding could secured, would it be possible to rehabilitate or even rebuild the line in its entirety using modern engineering techniques to negate the hazards that plagued its previous incarnations? 3. What services could be provided to make the line economical, or even turn an actual profit? Obviously there's tourism, Carrizo Gorge attracts thousands of tourists a year (many of whom come to gawk at the ruins of the railway). I recently found out that the Mexican portion of the line is used to host the Tijuana-Tecate Tourist Train (pic related, several gallery cars that were originally intended for it but ultimately left unused) and has proven quite popular. But I'm also wondering industries could be served or even if a US-Mexico commuter service would be feasible (ignoring current diplomatic issues)

Did the Key System really die or did it just evolve into BART? BART was already in the planning stages when the last Key trains ran in 1958 and from there it was a mere 14 years before the first BART trains started running.

So how come the Key System had these ultra-unique cars that weren't used by any other railway?
