Anyway, before I was car autistic, I was a tiny baby child and was train autistic (until like age 7). My dad worked in an office right next to our town's train station and I would watch the trains go by from the office window in between watching hotwheels highway 35 with all the cars I owned that appeared in the movie.
I had "Giants of the Rails" on vhs and at least one "lots and lots of trains" vhs tape alongside the thomas the train videos and movies.
But I just got a core memory unlocked about France's Orange TGV train and how cool I thought it looked as a child.

This badass motherfucker right here.

Hell. Yeah.

so i majorly fucked up my sleep schedule, but also i have a railpass for all of switzerland that's valid from 7pm to 7am (it's only like 99 CHF, which is about what id pay when going out clubbing in another city just 4 times a year, so well worth it) so i think im gonna spend the night exploring some nightly trains

This video keeps showing up in my recommended videos and I absolutely hate it every time it does precisely because the E235 is NOT part of the Tokyo Metro. This green thing is under JR East and I will not stand this slander.

I got the lucky chance to ride Amtrak’s Keystone Service from Philly to New York and I have to say I am in love. This is just about the best of what Amtrak could be doing everywhere and it is criminal we are not doing this for more American cities
We really need to nationalize the rail network, and give Amtrak a budget to rival the US military

Yo train nerd side of tumblr, what is this thing I found on an abandoned track?

Moving the black and white lever back and forth seems to make the red metal thing on the left hinge up and down off the track, I'm assuming in one position it's supposed to go all the way up but the mechanism is jammed with twigs and leaves and dirt
For context, this is on a short branch line that connects to some kind of factory
I'm guessing this is a derail thingy?
