During the industrial revolution trains were one of the most heavily used forms of transportation and many countries today base almost all of their transportation around them. In places like Germany or England it is easy to find a train to get from A to B, why can't it be that simple in Lucas County? To do this would require a massive overhaul of the current railway system, cars would

STRENGTHS • Competitive advantage. The concept of hauling over a hundred railcars with as little as two crew members allows for a distinct advantage over the trucking industry with regards to fuel and labor costs. • Space. A large quantity of railcars can be stored in a small area due to track design and the fact that cars are coupled together in a straight row. • Maintenance costs. While this can also be a weakness, the longevity of assets is typically more than in other industries. Locomotives

An out-of-control train is barreling down the tracks. There is a split in the track ahead and you are standing near the lever that controls which way the track will go. On one side of the track, a group of construction workers are working on the track. One the other side of the track is just one constructor picking up some tools.

And the train will not be swerving to miss us, should we be in harms way. We probably have better odds of winning a lottery then surviving being hit by a train. Be a safety example for the next generations of rail fans to come

As a student coming from Vaughan to Union it takes the train every 30 mins to come to the Vaughan. Having less transportation causes inconvenience which draws to another issue when it comes to waiting for a bus for twenty minutes. For a change, we should have trains and buses come frequently in times of ‘rush hours’ at popular destinations. It saves people valuable time and they can get home earlier to their

I was thrilled to see Freight Train by Donald Crews on our reading list for this week! The books use of bright colors contrasting with dark shapes and lines drew me to this book. On the front cover we see a steam engine pulling train cars with gradient smoke coming from the chimney. The steam engine and cars are flat, geometric, shapes helping anchor them to the track. The billows of smoke are organic as they rise into the air. I can now see there is not only bright versus dark but a hard versus

When the book first you get a feeling that Jamie and Sadie (Jamie’s ex girlfriend) hate each other. They both love the earth but he way they protect it is completely different. Jamie believes that everyone should ride their bikes to work because all cars do are pollute the earth and use up all the natural resources. Throughout the book Jamie talks about Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV) at one part he sees a Chevrolet Avalanche and it says that it now gets 25% more mpg which Jamie knows that comes out

The Great Train Robbery was one of the earliest silent films, made in 1903. The film begins with two masked robbers bursting into a railroad station office, and binding and gagging the railway dispatcher. From the very beginning The Great Train Robbery is off to a dramatic start. It instantly engages the viewer. A person viewing this film for the first time in 1903 would have been hooked from the start. The film is about twelve minutes long and has a fully developed narrative and distinguishable
