For the third successive year, the Railway Budget for 2011-12 spared the passengers of any increase in fares and proposed no hike in freight rates while introducing 56 new trains, including nine non-stop Duronto trains and three Shatabdis. ( Watch: Mamata Banerjee presents Railway Budget ) Regretting the two incidents of sabotage that led to a large number of deaths last year, Mamata said to avoid such incidents in future, anti-collision devices will be commissioned in three more divisions and all unmanned crossings will be done away with in the next fiscal. Mamata, however, said rail accident rate has declined from 0.29 per cent last year to 0.17 per cent at present. The states with lowest number of rail accidents will get two new projects and two new trains as an incentive, she said. The booking charges for A/C as well as non A/C seats have been slashed by 50 per cent and online ticketing is all set to get cheaper.

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Georgetown, Malaysia by TravelPod blogger Ellajay titled "Rain, trains and more Western meals." Ellajay's travel blog entry: "Our first task of the day was to find a new place to stay - the one working toilet had finally given up and we were woken up by bells and horns again. Luckily we chanced upon I 2 Inn, a lovely guesthouse above a hairdressers with super helpful staff. Once checked in we took the monorail down to the train station to buy our tickets to Butterworth. From the station we followed the guidebook's walking tour around KL's stunning colonial district and grubby Chinatown. The rain started as we made our way back to the guesthouse for a rest an didn't let up all evening, we watched the lightning out of the window for a while before venturing out in search of food. We eventually settled into a restaurant to sample some traditional Malaysian 'Baba Nyonya' food. Nathan had Mee Mamak (peanutty-curry noodles with unannounced tofu) and I had Otak Otak (fish grilled in a banana leaf). They were both gross. After another lazy start we headed over to the bus stop in Chinatown, admiring terrapins and trinkets in the central market along the way. We hopped on the bus to Batu Caves and after a long trip we bailed out, already stunned by the steps and statue at the entrance. We made our way up the 272 steps, keeping a watchful eye on the cunning macaque monkeys who were stealing people's water bottles. The caves were ...

Springfield, Illinois -- Illinois State Senator Martin A. Sandoval (D-Chicago) held a press conference today highlighting the need for high speed rail, and bullet trains, which will connect people and commerce throughout Illinois. "High-speed rail is the backbone of a modern economy. Investing in high-speed rail infrastructure is a pre-requisite for the United States to compete with the rest of the developed world's economies," said Senator Sandoval, Chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee. Illinois has delivered on railroad infrastructure funding by authorizing $850 million in our capital budget. We have spent more on Amtrak service than any other state in the Union besides California, and in tough budget times, Illinois is keeping the Amtrak program running strong by upgrading the freight line between St. Louis and Joliet. Senator Sandoval introduced two measures this year to keep Illinois on the path for bringing high-speed rail to Illinois. Senate Bill 1381 will use the Fuel Tax Fund to create a Grade Crossing Separation Fund. This will improve road and railway safety while developing the capacity for Illinois to move forward on high-speed rail construction. Senate Bill 1904 will give the Toll Highway Authority the ability to lay railroad tracks and control access. This will put Illinois in the position to effectively run a high-speed rail line. The first step to bringing high-speed rail to the Midwest is to build a line that connects Champaign with the ...

For all you train fans... a teaser for the upcoming untitled documentary on "the Canadian". A 3221 km trip from Edmonton to Toronto. The Canadian is a Canadian transcontinental passenger train originally operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway. It is currently operated by Via Rail Canada (as the Canadian) with service between Union Station in Toronto, Ontario and Pacific Central Station in Vancouver, British Columbia. In the years following World War II, passenger trains on the CPR consisted of a mixture of prewar heavyweight and pre- and post-war lightweight cars, even on their flagship transcontinental The Dominion and its eastern extension, The Atlantic Limited. While these cars were serviceable, American trains of the early 1950s, such as the California Zephyr, had already adopted streamlined all-stainless steel consists featuring domed observation cars. Following an evaluation in 1949 of the dome cars featured on the General Motors / Pullman Standard demonstrator Train of Tomorrow, CPR management, including then Vice President Norris Crump, resolved to upgrade their rolling stock. In 1953, CPR placed an order for 155 stainless steel cars with the Budd Company of Philadelphia that included 18 rear-end dome cars (Park series), 18 Skyline mid-train dome cars, 30 coaches, 18 dining cars and 71 sleeping cars (Manor and Chateau series). A subsequent order for 18 baggage-crew dormitory cars brought the final to total to 173 cars, sufficient for establishing an entirely new ...

President Obama proposes a freeze annual domestic spending for the next five years. This would reduce the deficit by more than $400 billion over the next decade, and will bring discretionary spending to the lowest share of our economy since Dwight Eisenhower was president.
I'm starting off a new project to build a model Railway, This is footage of the first running of the trains straight from the boxes, and things are looking good, I am very pleased with the general look and finish to the models and they run very well even at slow speeds, so the 5 pole motors give a good performance even with a basic analogue control. I hope to expand the layout this year (2011) and add some buildings and scenery, so this is just a very basic start to the hobby. The trains are now back in the box's waiting for the next stage of the project. I know nothing about real trains, but I am learning a little as I go. I always think a model railway looks fascinating, a world in miniature. But don't expect to see total period accuracy and attention to detail, this is just for modelling pleasure and I will being looking run anything from 1930 to 1960 so quite a broad time period. Hornby is still possibly one of the very best toy and model ranges available anywhere in the world. Regarding Hornby it has it is a brand name I feel we as model enthusiasts can trust and I am very pleased to see the good stewardship of Corgi and Airfix, and Scalextric under their management. Another good point is the development of the "Railroad" range this is wonderful news for every modeller on a budget, and so everyone can enjoy the hobby regardless of their budget. I recently bought the "Railroad" Falcon A4 for around £62 and I am delighted with it. My Flying Scotsman is also a budget ...
An illustrated cartographic history of the City of Angels from the colonial era to the present. Los Angeles inhabits a place of the mind as much as it does a physical geographic space. A land of palm trees and movie stars, sunshine and glamour, the city exists in the imagination as a paradise; of course, the reality is much bigger than this. Through seventy reproductions of seminal and historic documents, Los Angeles in Maps presents the evolution of this almost mythical place. Maps featured include historic Spanish explorers' charts from as early as 1791, as well as more recent topographic surveys, tourist guides, real estate maps, bird's-eye views, and more. Like the course of the Los Angeles River, the book winds through essential terrain: the discovery of oil, the rise of Hollywood, the streetcar system, Los Angeles Harbor, earthquakes, sprawl, and splendor. Author Glen Creason is map librarian at the Los Angeles Public Library and co-curator of the landmark exhibition LA Unfolded: Maps from the Los Angeles Public Library. Creason recently discussed the content of his book at the LA Public Library.
Huge crowds of protesters, upset about stringent Greek economic reforms, marched past the Greek Parliament in Athens Wednesday as police in white helmets tried to keep them from getting any closer. The protest march entered Syntagma Square, which lies between the Parliament and Finance Ministry, and then left again just after midday. Most of the marchers were peaceful, but a small number of violent protesters threw Molotov cocktails that burned two cars outside the upscale King George Palace hotel, which sits on one corner of the square. Police responded with stun grenades and tear gas, and the entire exchange left the square filled with smoke and an acrid smell. The violent protesters left a trail of burning waste bins and lots of garbage and debris that they had thrown at police. At least one small fire burned briefly about a block away from the square. After the marchers moved through, however, the tension was mostly over. Police still formed a line around the front of Parliament, but there was no traffic and only small groups of people milled around the square. Wednesday is the climax of a week full of strikes by the country's unions against changes in labor laws and the introduction of wage cuts. The new fiscal measures are required under the conditions of the massive bailout Greece received from the International Monetary Fund and European Union in May. The three-year, 110-billion-euro package saved Greece from financial default. The country's two largest umbrella ...

The dart underground is a planned railway project to link rail lines from the West of Dublin to lines from the North and South of Dublin, by building two twin board tunnels underneight the city centre starting from Inchicore, continuing past Heuston, Christchurch, St Stephens Green, Pearce and emerging at Docklands. This video is to show how easy it would be to use existing railway lines, modify them for a cheap cost and let it serve the same funtion of Dart underground but for a cheaper price.
Derailed: no power for new carriages Linton Besser March 10, 2009 THE CityRail network has insufficient electric power to run the biggest order of new trains in Australia and has been forced to spend more than $1 billion to fix the problem and to pay for other essential upgrades. The first of more than 600 rail carriages due to begin testing in October will be restricted to one section of the rail network until a program of capital improvements is completed, some of which are running years late and over budget. Although RailCorp was aware more power was needed for the trains, the budget for the overhaul has blown out almost seven-fold. If too many of the trains are put into circulation at once, sections of the network will short-circuit, sources have confirmed. In a tender last year the State Government revealed "RailCorp does not currently have an enterprise-wide change strategy for achieving business readiness to accept [public-private partnership] implementation, and this represents a major risk". A July 2006 RailCorp investigation report revealed the power "capacity of the existing network is predicted to be exceeded in 2008". The organisation's three-year internal audit document identifies "inadequate power to run trains" as a medium level risk. Budget papers show the power upgrade should have finished this year at a cost of $125 million, but that has been pushed to 2012 after the program hit internal difficulties and its director was replaced 18 months ago.
