Whenever you're city hopping think of taking the train. #brightline included, I'll be planning a trip sometime that includes both Disney World and Miami, both very easy to do and no rental car required, thanks to Brightline.

Heute gibt es wieder größeren Lesestoff als Missing Link von mir bei Heise Online. Ich gehe der Frage nach, wann gibt es in den USA echten Hochgeschwindigkeitsverkehr Verkehr. Das größte Potenzial sehe ich bei der Brightline West zwischen LA und Las Vegas. Der Rest sieht schlecht aus.

In October 2018 I had the very first chance to try out a high speed rail system in the US. Well, technically higher speed rail. The diesel-powered Brightline trainsets were a lot of fun. What a difference to typical trains in the US by Amtrak it was. And look at those diesel locos from my lounge view. :)

フロリダ州パームビーチ郡でブライトライン列車がSUVと衝突
パームビーチ郡で、高速旅客列車ブライトライン（ #Brightline ）とSUVが衝突する事故が発生しました。
事故の状況: パームビーチ郡保安官事務所によると、事故は12番街サウスとサウス・ディキシー・ハイウェイの交差点で発生しました。
原因: SUVが線路内でエンストし、接近してきた列車に衝突されました。
負傷者: 運転手は衝突後に車両の外で発見され、地元の病院に搬送されましたが、容体は不明です。列車乗客に負傷者の報告はありません。
この事故は、ブライトラインの運行開始以来、同鉄道に関連する事故が多発している一連の出来事の一つです。ブライトラインは、走行距離あたりの死亡事故率が米国の鉄道の中で最も高いとされていますが、事故のほとんどは、自殺、線路への侵入、または遮断機を回避した運転手によるもので、鉄道側の過失ではないとされています。 #Brightline

How much is your privacy worth? In the case of Brightline it’s worth $17.10. And you don’t get your privacy back. #brightline #privacy
#Brightline , the only privately run inter-city rail route in the United States that keeps getting handouts from government is in bad financial position.
They mainly offer service in Florida right now but are planning extension in California/Nevada
Turns out private rail might be hard to make money from, what a surprise.

A quotation from Hannah Arendt
In their moral justification, the argument of the lesser evil has played a prominent role. If you are confronted with two evils, thus the argument runs, it is your duty to opt for the lesser one, whereas it is irresponsible to refuse to choose altogether. […] Politically, the weakness of the argument has always been that those who choose the lesser evil forget very quickly that they chose evil.
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist

If #brightline can deliver as promised: LA(ish) to Las Vegas in 2 hours... You'll see high speed rail projects 'pick up steam' across the nation. We badly need it here in America.

At #DisneyWorld they are adding more roads, specifically at the Polynesian resort. They should be building a light rail line connecting all their resorts and parks which will be connected to the future #Brightline station near Disney Springs, not building to bring in more cars. They NEED to replace their buses that do not allow luggage. #FLTransit #PassengerRail
A quotation from Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Categorizing is necessary for humans, but it becomes pathological when the category is seen as definitive, preventing people from considering the fuzziness of boundaries, let alone revising their categories.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb (b. 1960) Lebanese-American essayist, statistician, risk analyst, aphorist
The Black Swan, Part 1, ch. 1 “The Apprenticeship of an Empirical Skeptic” (2007)

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt
It is not possible to lay down an inflexible rule as to when compromise is right and when wrong; when it is a sign of the highest statesmanship to temporize, and when it is merely a proof of weakness. Now and then one can stand uncompromisingly for a naked principle and force people up to it. This is always the attractive course; but in certain great crises it may be a very wrong course. Compromise, in the proper sense, merely means agreement; in the proper sense opportunism should merely mean doing the best possible with actual conditions as they exist.
A compromise which results in a half-step toward evil is all wrong, just as the opportunist who saves himself for the moment by adopting a policy which is fraught with future disaster is all wrong; but no less wrong is the attitude of those who will not come to an agreement through which, or will not follow the course by which, it is alone possible to accomplish practical results for good.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)

After a Slow Start, High-Speed Rail Might Finally Arrive in America http://dlvr.it/TJwKBv #Amtrak #Brightline #HighSpeedRail #RailNews
The state of high-speed rail in the U.S., as told by the New York Times.
#Texas #Cascadia #Brightline #California
The reality: the only true HSR is the Acela, which tops out at 150 mph. That's just barely high-speed by international standards.
