@RAILMag I’m glad the Hartford Line exists but it’s quite primitive and apt to get bogged down north of Hartford

It is true that higher-speed conventional rail is often overlooked in the N American context in relation to High Speed Rail, but it’s also not just a simple matter of train equipment. In many cases, the infrastructure updates needed to increase speeds are the same ease/$ as HSR.

I think part of the reason Americans are weird about trains is because we’ve effectively missed out on several decades of technological advancement, modern “low end” trains can easily do 100+ mph, like even with slow speed Houston to Dallas is only like 2-3 hours

Connecticut's above average snowfall this winter was good news for the region's tick populations. The snow acts like a blanket to protect ticks from New England's cold winters. Even without snow, ticks are a very resilient species. bit.ly/410hHUY

@nytimes Fix your site! Even with the latest app nothing downloads. There’s just perpetual spinning and occasionally the message: “Something went wrong.” Some of us just want to read “the paper,” not watch a bunch of videos.

@richseld @washingtonpost @nytimes No need. The bundle supports the newsroom now. Old analogy: The newsroom is the window display that draws people into the store to buy other stuff.
