Trains - Tumblr Posts
Recently gave my on30 porter a lil’ woodpile in its cab
Saw a HCMT test train at watergardens station today, the gasp at the end is me realising it is infact a HCMT. I thought it was an x'trapolis train with the new yellow door edges since I'd seen 2 of those on the sidings further up the line along with a loram track maintenance train. (For context neither of those trains service this line, not yet anyway, and I was surprised to see either, but especially so the HCMT, the maintenance train was just a cool extra thing too)
also the video is filmed though a window and at a bad angle because I was just in the train next to it when I saw it
Railroad accidents happen because of the fey. Think about it, they have to cross them at our built crossing to stay safe. Why? Because the fey are weak to iron. And what do they do while they are crossing? They mess with human minds to cause accidents, to try to destroy our barrier and to punish us for daring to restrict them. They yearn for the destruction of rail to tear down the border wall between us and them. They possess politician minds or buy them out in order to make us make cars instead walkable cities are the enemy of the fey.
This is the TRUTH.
They want you to make trainjacks, to become carbrains, to mald and cope at the mention of climate change.
THIS IS THE TRUTH I CALL FEYS, TRAINS, AND AUTOMOBILES
I ask you honestly, who doesn’t like trains? I remember being fascinated by them when I was a child, I grew up in a small coastal town called Crystal Beach on the west coast of Florida. We had a train that came through twice a day until I was 9, I would always run liaise to see it. I also would leave Penney’s on the tail for it to flatten.
Oh the good ole days!
The nerd from The Polar Express is completely fucking wrong when he talks about the engine. He says the engine is "a Baldwin 2-8-4 S3-class Berkshire type steam locomotive built at the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1931 and weighs 456,100 pounds"
This is what he *said* the Polar Express is..👇
Vs. What The Polar Express actually is...
Pere Marquette 1225 N-class 2-8-4 Berkshire type. Built by *Lima* Locomotive Works in *1941* and weighs 802,500 lb (364,000 kg)
This kid is just fucking wrong
wanna see the world.

This is my aesthetic .
Kinda old, pretty and colourful houses next to railway tracks are my new aesthetic🌸
I’m on my way to my uni, and all I can see outside are these very pretty, very Colorfy Houses.. no complaints 🌸🌼
The walls kept tumbling down in the city that we loved..
Ya know I really want to type out happy things. I want to write that I'm happy, my grades are up, my attendance is top notch, my professors are amazing, haven't been sick in a while, that I'm FANTASTIC!!
But that's the thing, I'm not. And I know that there's quite a lot of people out there right now, probably not reading this, feeling this way.
I'm scared. Simply put, I'm scared.
I'm so scared for what's to come that I'm not able to live my now and I dont even know what even IS coming..
My 2nd sem starts tomorrow, and I tried to open my book and I just blank. I dont know what I'm going to do in class. I'm scared to even drop my course, because if I do, what next? What new course can i do? I cant not have a college degree, right? Will I be okay if I dont have a college degree?
I've been tried so hard to catch up to something that I dont even know, I've forgotten whom I used to be..
But if you closed your eyes, does it almost feel nothing's changed at all ...
There are these small pockets, small moments when for a small while I forget about my impending doom and I feel calm. Just for a little bit.
Then the walls come tumbling down again...
Tell me how am I gonna be an optimistic about this ..
I love you Amtrak, I love you Caltrain, I love you rail options that run regularly, connect to local transit, and cater to more than just commuters.
Best idea I've ever fucking heared.
[video ID: A tiktok with video footage of various trains and mellow music in the background a (male-sounding) voiceover and white text on the video say: "if the train doesn't make a profit, why should we keep it??" The voiceover continiues: "The train isn't making money, I don't see why we need to keep it" Oh I think you're right! let's get rid of the other thing that doesn't make any profit at all
During the last words the background fades from footage of trains to photos of cars on a highway with a spreadsheet of highway spending sorted by US state rolling over the screen - it's too fast to read anything but you can see that the numbers are high. It blends in white text that reads: Highways Don't make Profit Either
The voiceover continiues: guess we have to get rid of them! *the music changes to dramatic orchestra while the voiceover guy laughs like a cartoon villan*
New photos of large highways show up in increasing frequency in tune with the speed of the music. White text pops up that reads: Fund the Goddam trains instead of this bullshit
With the text still on screen the background fades to a video of a tire landfill with a huge dark cloud of smoke coming it.

I took a train trip for the first time last weekend so I did this while riding it.
Took a train trip to Savannah, GA this week and to fill time I decided to quickly revisit the character I drew when I first traveled by train back in 2021. The train was shaking a lot this time around so it was kinda hard lol The first drawing I made is under the cut, as well as a time-lapse of this one!
