This is about a 1 1/2-2gal oil can which had the markings MOPA RR. It seems to be quite old but is very good condition. I was told it was a antique and worth more than I expected.

I thought they'd have emergency brakes and stop quicker if they wanted to.

So how come they don't?

Remember that part in that movie "Fried Green Tomatoes" when they guy's foot was caught in the rialroad track and the train came and killed him? Why didn't the train stop in time?

With the price of gas rising constantly, in parallel to searching alternative fuel technologies, we should be looking at ways to develop public transport and a high speed train would be one of them. The French TGV hit another record a few weeks ago with speeds of almost 575 km/hour or 357 miles/hour. It would take a little more than 2 hours to go from NYC to the Midwest...

I would like to take the train from Boston, Massachusetts, USA to Halifax, Nova Scotia. The AMTRAC website doesn't seem to help. I would like to find out about routes and cost. Help, please!

I remember seeing a TV program on the scorpions at Ongar (must have been around 70's or 80's)
The station is now off the tube network, but the site is still undeveloped.
Is the colony still there?

Diesel trains, steam trains, I have a secret love of rail and trains, which I have not disclosed for fear of social exclusion. Is there a treatment for this or should I come out?

Does anyone know the name of the private train service in the US that uses older train tracks that haven't been used in years? It is not affiliated with Amtrak and I believe it only travels out west.

In the United States we've worked to break up monopolies, yet our only rail service provider is Amtrak. I don't understand why we have multiple airlines, but just one train service. I think the creation of new rail service providers and maybe even some type of high speed monorail that travels across the country would be very beneficial. Amtrak has really been going downhill in the last couple of years. Does anyone else agree?

I may have this test coming up, so I am concerned about the specifics involved. It would be cool to know what I'm going to be facing at the test, and how tough it will be. I've never had any railroad experience so I'm not sure what to expect.

I am looking for the dates when the railway was built, was it Broad Gauge? what connection did it have with the Glouscester and Warwickshire railway? Could one travel directly from Birmingham to Bristol?

The whole family (about 15 people) will be travelling from Ohio to the Bay area (CA) for a wedding. Would it be cheaper to book Amtrak as a group? How long would the trip take?
