NGL the oracle all time stock graph is incredibly funny to me

unposted 146 reroute down Michigan south of Wacker??? huh???

So its been a few days since this passed. Assuming it gets turned into a law, how incredibly fucked are most municipalities? Like this is just a total death blow to their economies right? Maybe we'll see municipal gas taxes through the roof or something

NGL I'm very glad I started railroading at a younger age so I can, hypothetically, retire as early as 60 with no reduction in my railroad retirement, while social security would have me wait until 67. On a related note, the FRA for Soc. Sec. being 67 and the average lifespan being 79 is stupid.

Honestly if you want to get the best bang for your buck with advertising, get stuff on metra trains. I saw some stickers the other day that had been up for 2-3 years.

oof DFW is down 4.5% YoY for january...yeah ORD is definitely overtaking this year

You can always tell when someone that posts online has never worked a minimum wage job, just saying.

smh my head misinformation

Dude fuck you

I rembered to post the stadler flirt documents pgm.sh/dir/files/me...

Just found the greatest website ever hotdogchicagostyle.com/testlab.php

My favorite fun fact anecdote is that most "buttermilk" in the US isnt actually the result of making butter and is in fact fermented milk

On the red line rn and this has to be one of the slowest operators ive ever had. He's now created a triple bunch and i wouldnt be surprised if it gets worse as time goes on (screenshots taken at different times)

Metro seems to be redesigning the station departure boards again. see if you notice the major issue here.

Sitting Metra board member on the “proponent” list, by the way

The burbs are trying to reinstate parking minimums near Metra stations and busy Pace routes. Don’t let them. Submit an “opponent” witness slip below.

Interesting, Metra is doing rust repair and repainting of *checks notes* TRE locomotives ridetrinitymetro.org/wp-content/u...

ATL has released their final 2025 passenger figures. September was adjusted to a drop in the bucket 905 less. Overall the airport say 106,302,208 passengers, down 1.63% from 2024's count of 108,067,766. Funnily enough, their aircraft movements were up YoY, but ORD still passed them on that metric.

> The construction on the new stadium is set for early 2026. Well yeah its early 2026 right now. They might want to take a look from the Roosevelt bridge at the site. www.chicitysports.com/chicago-fire...

Great words from @rsday.bsky.social this morning on the strange, and damaging, concern that building taller high rises in West Loop would be a bad idea citythatworks.substack.com/p/against-sm...

Not everyone who jumps a turnstile causes problems on the system, but those antisocial behaviors often begin by jumping the turnstile. Given the current state of the 'L' network, Chicago should be looking into modernizing our fare controls.

who invited bro????

mmmmmm suboptimal

hello my name is jewel osco self checkout customer. today is my first day on earth

Who wants to be an Amtraker iOS/iPadOS beta tester? Should get it up in a few days. To be clear, this is just a wrapper of the website, but a proper app is in the works (that'll be a while tho)

When Republicans do it / When Democrats do it

The sticker the CTA/Ventra is putting on buses identifying Ventra 3.0 test devices leads directly to the ventra 404 page. Literally THE 404 page, not a page that doesn't exist.

One of my favorite people to work with is in need of financial support after a horrific incident. If you've been an Amtrak employee or customer, and have ridden the cardinal, you likely know Heather. If you can, please donate to help her recover. www.gofundme.com/f/rally-for-...

Ok so I have an old farecard reader from capmetro and was originally planning on using it to control my spotify via NFC card taps but it seems like spotify has essentially killed off its API for that. Any ideas of things to build that could be controlled via NFC card taps?

If I have a URL of your website and put it in the search bar of your app, the results should include said post. Youtube does it, you can too.

Lake shore drive needed bus lanes YESTERDAY like dear god this sucks. Michigan avenue too. North shore residents can pound sand

TIL you can get a free divvy key. Wish I knew this before I paid 10 bucks for one lol

Metra had a change order started in September 2025 and signed in January 2026 to increase the capacity of the Flirts from 325kWh to 1,055kWh. I'm unsure if the "45 to 65 mile" range cited in 2024 was the original battery capacity or the new capacity.

A fun case study since there have been 72 million articles on the cold in the east and 4 on the warmth in the west

Vote

Real talk: if the environment is anything close to what yesterday’s special election implies in November, there need to be people working very hard on a serious agenda for a substantial Democratic majority in both houses of Congress, focused on voting rights, democracy, and court reform.

Metra has issued an RFP for battery electric locomotives, seemingly poised for rush hour RI-Bev service

wdtx if you can hear me you need to photoshop an alstom bi-level with amtrak colors you gotta

what the hell blew up at union that they're already anticipating 30 minute delays in the MORNING

Here is glimpse of multi-unit buildings that are for sale or sold in the last 12 months where the realtor advertises converting the building into a single family house. All. Across. Chicago. We are making dense, sustainable living unaffordable so others can live in single family mansions.
