I saw on another thread using the FRA Rail Network site can tell how active a train is, my question is how accurate is it. For example, I was looking at Railroad Grade Crossings: 280077H and it appears to be a dead end track that doesn't look used at all, the report says twice a day and none a night.

Is there a chance it's reported twice a day just in case but in actuality it's rarely used?

If you look at street view it does not look used at all... but maybe

Railroad Grade Crossings: 280077H

i just know its made by Eugénio Santos, i have searched everywhere, google lens, forums, spanish forums, flickr, other websites and found nothing, only a scheme of the 1400, which i will attach along with the 1550 scheme on paper

Has it ever happened, even if a special one-off, that on dual gauge track, a train has been composed of cars and locomotives not all of the same gauge? (I would only count running on the rails for this; trailering a car on another wouldn't apply)

I can't see it ever being a regular occurrence, but it doesn't seem impossible for delivery purposes or something. The biggest obstacle I can see is that on 3-rail dual gauge, the centerlines would not be aligned, so the drawbars would not match up.

The box just labelled it as a "work car" but when I googled I didn't find a match. My best guess is that it's a piece of MOW equipment.

I imagine some type of adventure by going on this train.

Love this livery!

When seeing the underside I am unable to tell which coach is traction coach and which is trailing coach.

Ofc one way to know is through whichever coach has pantograph on top.

Also what a pretty view of sun glistening on the Stainless Steel isn't it...😌

Took this last Saturday during the 2026 Naniwa Yodogawa Fireworks Festival when I rode a Hankyu local train bound for Takatsuki-shi.

696 wagons, 7.6 km long. 9 minutes. The Ore Export Corridor repositioning empty wagons between Saldanha and Sishen in South Africa.

The most exciting video today (IMHO). Pretty fkn cool.

Edit: this is not my content - I absolutely wish it was. If it's yours, I'll most certainly add credit.

Here's a "best of" compilation of the videos I took while chasing 2102 from Reading to Jim Thorpe this past Saturday

Pray you don't wait for it at a level crossing

The Northeastern industrial area of Melrose Park, Illinois has a few sets of rails that I assumed were dead. Rusted over and abruptly cut off in places. In my lifetime, I have never seen a train run by here. My Father, also a train guy, doesn't even remember seeing one operating up here. But I guess there's at least one customer, because I saw them rolling some hoppers up to the plastic injection moulding plant today. Such a cool thing to witness.
