I was expecting multi-articulated subway trains from that headline tbh.

They're standard everywhere else by now (even in Canada and Mexico) and I don't understand why agencies in the US are only just now starting to seriously consider them.

>>131652

muh crash protection?

>>131653
The FRA doesn't regulate subway systems. Furthermore, some of the first open gangway cars in the world were developed in the US.

Pic related of an experimental set ordered by the BMT in the 30s.

Didn't even need to make this thread, bruh.

I hate it when I get trolled to click on a video made by that idiot. Used to happen more often but I've gotten wiser.

This guy is in a pissing contest with a teenager (ranting railfan) who criticize him.

Look what we got, we got tshirts

This guy seems to be ripe for lulz, someone should de an ED article on him.

>lulz
>ED article

Ham are you stuck in 2005? Fuck off seriously.

>>131609
No U

First impression: "Man this guy is not the kind of breed we need in the railfan community, it's the equivalent to shitposting."
After watching a bit: "Okay, so the title of the video and this guy's obnoxious attitude tells me that someone from Amtrak is gonna tear this guy a new one for dancing around so close to the crossing. That should be fun to see"
End of the video: "Thoroughly disappointed."

His knuckle break video was kinda neat though, you don't usually catch that kind of thing on camera

>this is the age of the train

From what I understand the late 70s and early 80s were when rail ridership in the UK reached its nadir?

Wow, Giggle Translate really can't handle this type of stuff.

On a semi-related note, do Japanese foamers ever make US trips? I've heard of them making trips to France in the past but I don't think I've ever read of them making trips in NA.

>>131593
I've heard they get big tour buses of them at North Platte.

One of the things about Japanese is that they often take holidays which we Australians would otherwise consider absurdly short - max 1 week, sometimes shorter.

>>131600
Nips are lucky if they get one week vacation a year.

And international flights from Japan are cheaper then from 'Straya.

>>131603
As I understand it, the holidays aren't a problem, it's just the length. According to my former high school teachers (various, JET teachers, freelancers, some engineering contractors etc - including one that imported a Japanese man), you got your usual 4 weeks. But to get anything more than 1 week chunks, you really had to fight for it even though it works out as the same. Beyond that, your only real strategy is to make the most of the weekends on either end of a week because to fly back to Australia would otherwise eat up a day.

Then there's that one polar bear who keeps visiting Australia every few months for week long holidays.

Forgot to mention that the abovementioned thread's TTL (Time To Live) on 2chan is until 2016-02-09.

Do I get double points for Spanish stuff and the same location? That original thread hurts my most of me in translation.

I'll bet the owner of the car was pretty sad when the Nekomimi Shinkansen was sent to the breakers.

At least there was still the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E5_Series_Shinkansen which is sort of the production version of the nekomimi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fastech_360 S-type.

>>131519
Needs more neko-mimi mode.

>>131558 -- +blink+ +blink+ Sure, even I know that kigurumi is not to everybody's taste, but I did not expect @Kartma to go into clipping.

>>131577

It was so hideous, though!

At least that was girls cosplaying girls. Try some random bloke dolling as Belldandy. That's bad - and I only saw it as a pic. Real glad I did not see it live. Great... so much for repressing... Suffice it to say, it made this (the pic enclosed) look good, IMAO.

doot doot

Reminds me of that Stephen King cover. I wanted to read about a demonic train and got some fag monorail instead.
