Well my Mom's 80th birthday party turned out to be quite the fun filled weekend, with getting there the most stressful part.

The flight was also over booked so I was bumped off the jump-seat and it went out full with m

Walking down 3 flights of stairs with a strong wind blowing ferociously upwards with people moving fast, side stepping musicians and ad hoc vendors, with a quick stop to pay 3 Yuan, and an even quicker ticket checker pulling the stub, a quick glance at a map for directions, and off you go on the Beijing Metro. Getting around the center core of Beijing on the metro subway is a breeze. There is plenty of signage in English, with lots of detailed maps. There are 3 main lines in Beijing. The number 1 red line runs mostly east and west and runes right past the large picture of Mao at Tiananmen Square.

My train journey home last night took two and a half hours for what is normally a forty minute high-speed dash up the country. It all started well, but the train came to a halt at Wembley Central and some of the lights went out. About ten minutes later the Train Manager announced that there was a burning freight train just ahead of us and, as the fire brigade were busy spraying water around, the power to overhead lines in the immediate area on both sets of north/south lines had been cut. A while later the train's backup power supply depleted and the remaining lights went out. All passengers were forced to vacate and wait on the platform for a while, before squeezing into an already overcrowded London Overground train to Watford where another fast train was waiting.Stopping the trains sound

April 28, NY TimesBEIJING — A predawn collision between two passenger trains in Eastern China on Monday has killed at least 66 people and injured 247, according to Xinhua, the state news agency, making it one of the deadliest rail accidents in recent years.The two trains, one heading from Beijing to Qingdao and the other traveling between Yantai and Xuzhou, collided at 4:40 a.m. in the town of Zibo, Shandong Province.Witnesses said one train derailed at a bend and then struck the other, throwing at least ten cars into a ditch. Wire reports quoted a rail official saying that a new timetable introduced on Monday might have contributed to the crash.Last September, a collision involving two trains took place on the same line, although there were no deaths.

Recently in Newark, New Jersey I was attempting to find the New York Transit’s PATH Train system. The course to get there took me many routes: From the motel I took a van shuttle to the airport where I got on an air tram to take me to another terminal to catch a bus which went across town to Penn Station where I boarded the PATH Train. Most days the route was decently easy, but on at least one day the trip seemed to take forever. And, that particular long day when I finally got there the train was filled to not just standing room only but standing room only packed liked sardines! I looked over the crowd that was packed in and noticed all the different types of people pushed in together. There were some from probably every walk of life. There were some from most any “social” class. Th

In November, Californians will be able to vote on a 220-m.p.h. bullet train, which would zip from San Francisco to Los Angeles in 2.5 hours. If Californians approve the $10 billion bond proposal – enough to provide initial financing for the $42 billion system that could link north and south through the agricultural Central Valley –they will likely see the zooming trains in about a decade. Governor Schwarzenegger is pushing the idea for several reasons, including creation of jobs, the lowering of greenhouse-gas emissions per passenger mile, and taking cars off the road. High speed trains have been around in Europe and Asia for years, now California has a chance to haves it's own network of bullet trains. Not only will the trains be good for residents but they will be able to transport

A Road Train is a trucking concept used in remote areas of Australia, the United States, and Western Canada to move bulky loads efficiently. The term "road train" is most often used in Australia. In the U.S. and Canada the terms "triples", "Turnpike doubles doubles" are commonly used for longer combination vehicles (LCVs)." and "Rocky Mountain The space in the name is usually omitted.OverviewA road train consists of a relatively conventional prime mover, but instead of pulling one trailersemi-trailer, the road train pulls two or more of them.

あずさ、スパーあずさIf you are heading north west from Tokyo towards the delights of Shinshu: Matsumoto Castle, Yokota Onsen, Hakuba and Kamikochi the most comfortable and affordable route is on the Azusa or Super Azusa trains from Shinjuku Station to Matsumoto.These frequent JR trains (about once an hour from Shinjuku Station) take around 2 hours, 30 minutes to reach Matsumoto via Kofu. The service, named after the Azusa River in Matsumoto, started in 1966 with the tilting, 130kph "Super Azusa" commencing service in 1994. Both trains have been completely no-smoking since 2007, something of a rarity in Japan.There is some wonderful countryside to enjoy on your journey from Tokyo to Matsumoto. Fares are around 6500 yen and a JR Rail Pass is valid on this route.Yahoo Japan Auction

What will the world look like, after the return to rails? Autos and airliners distribute population, writes Stilgoe; railroads concentrate it."Assume the train as a given, and suddenly many small satellite cities, often with very low real-estate values, become attractive to real-estate investors." Old roadbeds will be upgraded, rights of way previously converted to nature trails will be reclaimed and converted to high-speed passenger service.

James Fallows, Atlantic Magazine writer extraordinaire, has a great post, entitled,”‘The’ way vs ‘a’ way (Japan v China dept),” comparing Japan’s way of doing things versus China’s (h/t to Experience Not Logic). Fallows uses fueling a plane as a great visual example, but to fully understand it, you must go to his blog check it out. Fallows summarizes the differences between China methods and Japan methods as follows: With usual caveats against sweeping generalization, what this made me think was: Japan is all about the way of doing things. Practice, ritual, perfectionism, as much fanatical attention to the process as to the result. China is all about finding a way to do things. Improvisation, little interest in rules, putting up with whatever is necessary to attain the result. (Yeah yeah yeah, there are exceptions: perfectionist operations in China, loosey-goosey ones in Japan. Still.) At the moment, I am feeling positive toward both ap

Property in France experienced it when the TGV was rolled out; now Italian property is experiencing a piece-by-piece real estate surge as its own high speed train system is put into place. This is also referred to as the Ryan Air effect, whereby values rise as budget airlines arrive.

By: Elmo Kandel When you are running late for work and waiting for the train to finish going by so you can cross, it doesn't seem like they are going very fast. They do travel at fairly decent speeds though when you consider the amount of weight the equipment is hauling. The source they depend on for energy as well as what they are carrying determines their speed.The first trains in the 1800's were only able to operate at a speed of approximately five miles per day. Freight trains and passenger trains such as AmTrak generally operate at a speed between 55 and 65 miles per hour. While they can go faster they don't for safety reasons. The faster a train is traveling the longer it takes it to stop if there is something on the tracks in front of it.Many commuter trains travel at a rate of 65-75 miles per hour. It depends on the amount of distance between each stop. The more stops that they have the slower they operate in order to be able to protect the equipment from unnecessary wear

By: Demetria Kobold One of the greatest things about visiting San Francisco is the close proximity to nearby attractions. You can stay in one city while visiting several. You can not only get the conveniences of being in the city, but the beauty of nature is not too far away from almost any point within the city. In fact, a short train ride will take you rather quickly to some nearby attractions that are definitely worth checking into. One of the first train tours I'll mention isn't only a train tour but a bus and train tour. This tour goes from San Francisco to Yosemite Park. This trip requires transfers back and forth from bus to train but offers some beautiful scenery and the ability to enjoy it without the worry of driving, rest stops, and a need to simply stretch your legs. Sometimes a little inconvenience is worth a lot more convenience later in your trip. The train portion of the tour lasts about three hours and you get to spend three hours in Yosemite. For some it isn't wort

This topic was actually the very first personal narrative ever attempted here on the blog, a little less than a year ago.

Examining the dates more closely, I realized that many of the 8 p.m. Saturday concerts in Memphis were followed by 11 a.m. rehearsals in Milwaukee. I panicked, seeing my future employment crumbl

Bancha Khongnakhon, acting governor of the State Railway of Thailand (SRT), said the two trains total eight carriages. They were being shipped by sea and would arrive at Laem Chabang port in Chon Buri province on Oct 15. The trains will be shown to the public on Nov 9. Mr Bancha said nine trains had been ordered, with a total of 31 cars, from Siemens of Germany. After delivery they will be housed at the SRT depot in the Soon Wijai area.

Ever wonder what happens to used planes, trains, and military aircraft? Where do they go? and What is done with them? Below are some haunting images that show where some have ended up and where some are still standing today, many years after their former life. Mining Vehicles in Namibia Graveyard Military Aircraft Dead in Arizona Old Steam Engines in Bolivia - R.I.P. To see the “submarine cemeteries” with nuclear subs from the cold war, visit the source site. It is a shame these vehicles have not found a proper home and are laying, sitting, floating in places where people live, and or drive by on a regular basis. Alot of this waste has gone unhandled mostly because of monetary reasons. but….. Surely the federal or state governments (not too mention the media) can take some time off from lesser issues (i.e. bill o’reilly rants) and focus on getting rid of dangerous and unhealthy equipment that is environmentally unsound. It’s only been what like 30-50

This morning, while on my way to work, I overheard this lady instructing another lady loudly to move in. The response was “都没有位了，还走什么？你是不是中国人？” It meant “There’s no space, how to move in? Are you from China?” Somehow, the remark on moving in further the car of the train would come from the mouths of those form China. Not that I’m biased but there was this lady whom I met while waiting for this bus is that is forever slow and crowded who said the same thing, “move further in.” I guess they are not embarrassed to tell people to think and move in so that others who may be rushing for time to board the public transport. The remark on the nationality earned another remark that Singaporeans have no brains and are fixed on standing on the “best” spot so as to alight easier. It could have stared an international war. The never ending reason why I hate taking trains, especially during peak hours.

I don’t cover a lot of toys here that don’t fall under the action figure umbrella, but every once in awhile a non-action figure orientated toy will catch my eye. In this case it’s a pretty interesting electric train layout. Come to think of it, I don’t know if anyone can still consider electric trains “toys”, considering there’s not that many kids that are into them as there middle aged (or older) guys with elaborate set ups in their basements. I digress, this train set is notable only because it puts a spin on the classic train diorama. It doesn’t portray a perfect world of well manicured lawns, quaint old village shops, and lots of white people. This set depicts urban decay in it’s most depressing: (more…)

This week’s most requested pictures for house signs seem to be trains.  We have painted 3 different trains for customers - so if you want a train on yours, now would be a good time (as we are getting good at them!)  Here is one we have just done. Share This

I just got back from Japan and I’m only now getting to sort through all my pictures and process all my experiences and how I can relate them to our little space here on the Web. One thing I noticed: Japanese trains run wild all over ours here in New York, not unlike Hulk Hogan [...]

Tammy emailed Jessica and I with a great link-- Taste of The New York Subway System by the guys at IdleWords.com. Tammy says, "This is a map of restaurants located near a subway station. Just click on the subway line of choice."What she didn't say was how much fun it is! Both Jessica and I spent so much time just clicking around. Our list of restaurants (that we want to eat at) just got longer!Enjoy.

A report earlier this year highlighted Paris' position as top city for property investment. The Emerging Trends in Real Estate® report by PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Urban Land Institute underlines the city's economic stability and sustainability, as well as placing Paris in first place for supply and demand balance. Unlike the UK, this balance means there's a good chance buyers will find the sort of property they're looking for, and sellers will typically not have long to wait when selling up. What's more, the plans of the new President, Nicolas Sarkozy, to provide tax breaks to encourage home ownership will surely have a positive impact on rent return and capital growth over the next few years.

The company has set up a centre at its Chennai campus dedicated to teaching its employees how to walk, talk and think in Japanese. I”ve been working with Japanese clients and communication is very difficult plus their business ethics and mannerisms are different from the rest of the world, Parag a trainee at Shimpo said. Its us who have to learn the language because most of them don”t know English and so to communicate we have to, said another trainee Sanjay. Cultural sensitivity is very important says the company, especially with the Japanese. To understand the nuances of their culture every year, all employees going to Japan on long-term projects are made to undergo this training.

Today’s post continues on this week’s transportation theme. A few days ago we posted an article about electric cars and it got us thinking - what about electric forms of mass transportation? So we started researching, and found some of the most interesting new developments we’ve come across in quite some time. One project being researched in California (among other places) caught our attention through its innovative use of photovoltaics - the solar powered ultra light rail. Ultra Light Rail? We’ve heard of trains, subways, monorails, light-rails, trolleys, but what exactly is an “ultra light rail,” and how do they keep it powered using only solar energy? Great questions have great answers. The ULR (ultra light rail) is a smokeless, noiseless rail-based mass transit system. The technology behind the design comes from great advances in solar racing car technology (like the NASCAR of alternative energy). Each train car in the ULR holds between 20 – 40 passengers seat

Trains are a romantic way to travel, there's always something exciting about riding on the rails--think North by Northwest, Strangers on a Train, Murder on the Orient Express, Fried Green Tomatoes, The Polar Express--and if you're ever in Wasilla, Alaska you need to make a whistle stop at Alaska Live Steamers Miniature Trains.On the north side of town at the exit for the Air Museum, nestled among the birch and spruce of the Alaskan outdoors is a twelve-gauge track that reminds you what fun it is to be behind an engine. Run by volunteers and train enthusiasts it's a fun activity for an Alaskan summer afternoon--even with the drizzle of rain we had when we were there last month.The train has room for twenty or so people and the fifteen-minute train ride takes you over tressle-bridges and tiny gorges, underneath tracks and birch boughs, criss-crossing and chugging along in the quaintest way. Along the track are tiny houses, water towers and trucks that make you feel as if you're Gul

In case readers missed it, Phillip Serna posted a great video of Jay Leonhart singing a song about getting a bass on a plane. Check out Phillip's post here.Bass blog contributor Benjy reminded me about this post he contributed concerning European train travel woes. He also shared with me some of his experiences with bass flight cases:I also have a Stevenson case which I purchased 25 years ago when I was with the Toulouse Chamber Orchestra. I made them buy one and bought one for myself. Theirs went through 2 months of touring in the states, while mine was used it only on 2 occasions, the first to go to Colorado, the second to Israel. Ever since then, I have kept it in my various cellars for years and years. Now that I no longer have a real need to travel by myself, I have finally decided to sell it so that it can be of use to someone. Stevenson has made a contact for me and I'll be getting rid of it soon.I improved the mobility of both of these old cases by adding a 360° pivoting w
