High Speed Train Derails in Spain

[Safe-Keeper]

The central command told the second train to proceed. It's not yet known why and everything would have been ok otherwise.

The way I understand the current reporting, both trains were told to proceed, then the crew of the train in front reported they couldn't start their train, and, apparently due to the command central being in chaos, the train that was now on a collision course with the train in front of it wasn't stopped. Tragic either way.

Can't help thinking of the first responders, must have been beyond gruesome.

Tragic for sure.

As Safe-Keeper worries about Norwegian rail, I wonder what's more likely: California HSR that ends up like Japan's, or California HSR that ends up like Spain's.

California HSR rail that ends up like Ireland's.

California HSR rail that ends up like Ireland's.

404?

Think about it.

I did. I originally was going to say, "full of Kiwi fruits", for a California-is-gay joke, but it seemed a bit too much of a stretch, for a bit too little comedy. So I dialed it back to something that was merely nonsensical. That's probably far more thought than it needed, but I guess I failed you. I apologize.

404?

They don't have one and never will.

 

[Klimax]

They don't have one and never will.

So FileHSR Not Found.

at this point I have to wonder

They don't have one and never will.

yeah, funding for high speed rail in California appears to be going nowhere.

It will keep getting funded, they just won't have high speed rail.
