    interesting indeed. I often wonder how good electric is as well. would it be worth wile for Irish rail to build some sort of a wind farm or a hydro station for future network electrification

    was passing through Athlone midland recently. seems like they are doing work to the roof on the engine shed. unfortunately the railway has been disconnected from the line. i cycled the greenway about a year ago. a few people use it but more would use a rail system. if you kept a greenway beside the railway people probably would not use the greenway anymore there is enough land though to quad track you would have to get rid of a lot of the vegetation which residents probably would not like

    even if it does open on time the ticketing system probably wont recognise it like what happened when hazalhach to grand canal dock started

    i remember watching a program about a Japanese heritage railway that runs there small ish 4-4-0 on compressed air though it certainly is not the same as steam.

    absolutely terrible news. hopefully everything can be returned to its pre flood glory it is also posable to rate the topic at the top right of the screen which might boost its awareness
