Hello, my name's Allen. I'm here to share my various train photos, news, and advocacy.

Focused mainly on British Columbia and Ontario, Washington and Oregon states but sometimes I will post a couple other adventures from where I've gone!

My original photos may be used under the terms of the CC-BY-SA-4.0 license. Feel free to send a message for other uses or any questions. I can speak and write terrible-quality French (français) and mediocre Japanese (日本語).

  • @HellsBelleThis is the right move. Imagine if politicians were paid only for the time they were at their seat.

    Railroad unions have followed the process by the book, and there's still no resolution after being in court for a year now:

    Being forced to go back to a job under-compensated is an untenable situation here. Something needed to be done lest we lose our right to collective labour action.

    The RailDriver train simulator controller only has official Windows support.

    After reading the technical documentation from the makers, I cobbled together a "driver" that reads input messages then puts it out as a virtual device like an xbox controller.

    With two translation layers, and with calibration required every time, I am able to play TrainSimWorld with it, because out of the box it can't seem to recognize it.

    As a young person under 35, 3 word slogans from the Conservatives were never going to help me.

    I do feel hope for Canada through Mark Carney, because he strikes me as someone who does stuff, rather than just says stuff. Words I like to hear alone won't fix my future. #cdnpoli #carney #elxn45

    Sorry in advance folks, I couldn't figure out how to make a Link Post from Mastodon.

    Also frightening is Trump's reaction to this on Truth Social, casually referring to himself as king:

    "CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!"
