In lieu of our usual Control Point (CP) Sundays edition this morning, we have an updated Transformative Rail Vision Map ready (google.com/maps/d/viewer?…), including MTL-TOR HFR, Ethan Allen to BUR, Vermonter to MTL & a couple glaring gaps: Big Sky Explorer to Sandpoint & KNX-CHT.

Can any #avgeeks help me understand this LBB->DFW routing? That not terribly scary cell was still moderate turbulence on climb. And then why send us south to come back around to land from the north? The only one arrival runway produced a lousy taxi.

I ended up being busier than I expected in Omaha & didn’t get out to see as much rail stuff as I hoped (also: required to watch Sabres playoffs), but did find some of the first Omaha Streetcar rails installed at S 10th St & Capitol Ave. on Tuesday night. Loved the town.

@PYZC773 Completely agree. Zachary Shragg’s book makes this point, that if there was money or political will to do anything else, it would have been the Columbia Pike branch. They thought they’d be lucky to have 300k daily riders happy with 10-12 min frequency and half that in the core.

@StreetsblogNYC Of these,the biggest, most terrible factor for the Purple Line was named Larry Hogan, who did everything to destroy the project except actually destroy it.

@StreetsblogNYC The Purple Line alignment between Bethesda & Silver Spring was never repurposed as a park or even a formal trail, and always maintained the designation of future transit corridor. And while legal delays on the segment contributed to the cost, many other factors escalated costs.

Any attempt to build transit on former rail lines repurposed as parkland will either fail or accrue hundreds of millions of dollars in delays, as shown by two projects to build transit on deactivated tracks in the D.C. suburbs and Atlanta. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/05/12/rai…

My favorite @metrolosangeles Rail station: Hollywood/Vine on the B Line! The yellow brick road, artworks by Gilbert “Magu” Luján, film projectors from Paramount Pictures, and the ceiling covered with empty film reels!! 🥰🎥🎞️ 🚇🌴

@Halfmykingdom @_KennyUong_ Why should I have to slum there? What does that even mean in terms of an action? Try describing what you mean. I’ll just go use the subway like I have in every U.S. city that has one and be alert to my surroundings. You’d talk to them and not help them? You deranged fuck.

People treat nicer places better. The expense of beautiful places are due once and up-front, but the wonder of tasteful investment is free forever.

@Halfmykingdom @_KennyUong_ @metrolosangeles Security is cheap to add, but the cost goes on forever. The beauty of an artistic statement for a community is a one-time cost but the legacy of the investment goes on forever for free. You know the cost of everything and the value of nothing. And people treat nice places better

@SS_DCTransit @HNLTransitFan Yes, platform doors would precede the Red Line automation. The Red Line is operationally distinct (no interlining) from the other routes so the other routes don’t need platform doors for this to be installed.

@HNLTransitFan I think the plan is installing platform screen doors first. This is like a long term plan, not something that will happen in a year or two.

This stub track is dubbed by UP as the Union Pacific Homeplate, where they’ll pull in a high-profile set of equipment across from the stadium during the College World Series. Across the street is a commemorative area marking the location of UP’s original Omaha shops.

Good morning from Omaha, Nebraska - home of @UnionPacific & the College Baseball World Series. Here is a rarely-used UP industrial spur at the N 13th St grade crossing that once made more regular paper deliveries to the Omaha World-Herald newspaper.🛤️
