This is just a paid political announcement by the AAR. Aii=AAR. Brought to you by the people who want one-person crews, 4+ mile long trains, and so on.

There is a lot of buzz words, but it would help to define how long is a “long train”, where “the data” came from, what areas you’re looking at (e.g. western lines with long straight stretches or east coast’s more variable turns), freight types, and how this analysis is being funded.

Longer trains. Did you evaluate the addition of more locomotives in the middle and ends of the longer trains. How is that more cost effective and environmentaly more efficient. Seems to me the only savings are Carriers reducing train crews. A stopped two or three mile train can cut more than one community in half. I've seen it more than once on the UP.

Amazing how you think blocking traffic is not a significant issue.

Less room acoustics / reverb would be better

Global warming was officially stated at 1.1°C in 1991 and 1.06°C in 2022. There is no mechanism that would allow greenhouse gas behavior to cause global warming. The back of the United Nation's IPCC science report states it took its greenhouse gas samples at 20,000 meters altitude where it is common high school level knowledge there is no greenhouse radiant energy. This is typical practice for deceptive marketing to state legal data transparency protecting the perpetrators from fraud prosecution. Earth's greenhouse effect is frequently used as a primary example to high school students of a system always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor absorbing all the greenhouse radiant energy from the earth with greenhouse gases within 20 meters of the surface that is all around us everyday and can't have its overall effect changed. There is no further greenhouse radiant energy to interact with greenhouse gases. At 1% average tropospheric water vapor over 99% of earth’s greenhouse effect is from water vapor. Water vapor would hold earth's greenhouse effect in saturation if it were the only greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. Arctic warming is taking place with the proving mechanism being warm Atlantic Ocean waters migrating deeper and more frequently into the Arctic Ocean warming it and the region. That warmer water is causing a few weeks less of reflective snow and ice coverage resulting in more solar heat gain to the Arctic region surface. Atmospheric CO2 levels of 1200 ppm about three times what they are today would greatly invigorate C3 plants the majority of plant life on earth greatly greening the planet. 0.4% of the atmosphere is CO2 and on average 1% is H20 water vapor. (1% H20)/(0.4% CO2) = 25. Water vapor is 25 times more present in the atmosphere on average than CO2. Water vapor has an CO2e of 18, 18 X 25 = 450 CO2e total for water vapor to 1 CO2e for CO2. The Earth’s oceans have 3-1/2 million sea floor volcanic vents warming the water and changing it’s chemistry that have not been systematically accounted for.

Hi

A BS organisation who does nothing concrete but criticises others. BS much.

I kind of wish you had defined Long. Here in Australia, most freight trains are about 1.1 miles (1.8 kilometers) in length, but I don't know what the average is in the US. Thanks for an interesting report on the subject. 😁

That's all fine and dandy but I'm not waiting 3 weeks for whoever to come out so I can dig

"Promo sm"

P R O M O S M 😔

unless Biden is looking over your shoulder in which case it might explode

Using rail used to be safe also . Until Biden

This is her roman empire

So if 0 is no infrastructure… how is America a 3?😂 i mean i think 5-6 is more accurate if were actually comparing to other countries. I mean there countries with dirt roads and 100+ year old train cars carrying thousands of people. Or ya know places with no power and dirt houses

Necessarily

This episode was such a wake up call! So scary.

Energy density

Electric everything? Why not? Because it can’t work. Have you ever needed a new battery? Think about it

Theyll be viable eventually, but we definitely dont have the weight to energy ratio for it to be prqctical yet. There are electric airplanes, theyre just small and have limited range.

Electric cars are the scam of the century

They will never be viable.

Lol an electric plane would have to immediately land cuz itd be out of charge upon lift off

Pumping water upstream takes significantly more power than is generated at the dam. Sure, it lets you use the water when it's needed most, but it is incredibly inefficient. Just build nuclear power plants.

This is really interesting, thank you!

Just wanted to comment that I learned something new today! Thank you.

Having worked on licensing low head hydropower schemes with fish passes, they are incredibly harmful to the aquatic ecosystem.

Im not getting solar period

Solar panels aren’t recyclable

Yes 💯 not even possible 😂.

Small question can you dump sea water into these vents to produce steam for power and also catch the vapor for drinking water

@simonbowman6206 RDP Marine Australia the outflow you are seeing is WAISTED POWER at least 5 if not 10% of that dams power output could be recovered with no issues to the turbine hall re turbine surging issue or dissolved gasses. think on this a dam retro fitted with three turbines in line not side by side

The only energy that is cleaner than coal, oil and gas is Nuclear and I am not talking about CO2 - that is a non issue.

Solar and Wind are NOT a good thing: they are very dirty to manufacture and are NOT recyclable so every 20 years or so they need to be replaced and the old ones go into land fills because they cannot be recycled. Both Solar and Wind are expensive to Build and maintain and land use costs are astronomical.

200 miles? What a piece of JUNK!!! = )

No

It is honestly beautiful that a nonprofit organization is shitposting in order to educate people

Awesome!

Curious to know what the total was in charging for the Tesla vs the total in gas for the Jeep?

So awesome, Aii! Keep up the fantastic work.

These numbers seem highly exagerrated. But you might be right. I know the numbers used to be a lot better than that but still not good at all. Corn has NEVER been a good replacement for petroleum. Not even close. So either way you are right.

Wow!

1. Protect the TWO MAN CREW BILL (HR 1748 Safe Freight Act) It’s about public safety and jobs. 2. Go to SMART-UNION.org/td Click on the Red button. 2. Enter contact info 3. Click Send. You have all got this wrong when it come to 2 man crew verses one man crew when all you do is worry about losing jobs. Its common sense thousands of railroad workers will lose their jobs if all the railroads are allowed to go to 1 man crews. That's an issue you need to take up with TRUMP! He claims he is creating jobs then let him do something about people keeping the ones they have! This is about safety. This is about saving lives. Not just crew lives but the American people as well. CSX preaches safety every single day. Its in their rule books and in their advertising. Its 24 hour a day safety...safety....safety. Well let them put their money where their mouths are. Pay for safety. Keep 2 men in the cab. The public has no idea what we deal with. Tell your neighbors about how many cars we hit and people are killed every year when they are hit by trains. Explain to them how the engineer is in the cab calling the dispatcher and getting 911 called. He is taking care of anything that may be wrong with the locomotive. He stays with the train. Tell them how the conductor gets down and rushes to the vehicle to see if he can possibly save a life. Maybe a baby is in the car and needs to be helped or maybe the parents can be removed and need CPR. Maybe he can comfort someone who is dying or in shock or screaming because they are severely injured . Tell them about how we hit live stock and large deer. Tell them how people love to put junk on the tracks. Shopping carts, bicycles, steel barrows, wheelchairs and even abandoned cars. Tell them about how many trees we hit a year and do extensive damage to the locomotive. The engineer stays with the locomotives and assess the damage and does what is necessary to radio dispatchers for help while the conductors gets down and removes debris and check the rest of the train for any damage or signs of derailment. Tell them about the territory that is in the middle of TIM BUCK TWO! The places where no one can get to you fast unless you have a helicopter. How will they go bathroom now without two people to keep the train going down the tracks unless they have to stop not blocking crossings or take lunch. Tell them how radios don't always work in remote locations. Telemetry drops out and communication is lost. How many times does a conductor have to go back and trouble shoot another unit after alarms are going off. The engineer keeps the train rolling the best he can while the conductor checks the computers and checks to see if it is loading. Tell them about the blind curves that only one crew member can see around when your approaching public crossings or trees that block signals so that only one crew member can see them until you get the train right on top of them. Tell them about wash outs from floods, and heat warped rail and fog so thick you cant see a foot in front of you. SO WHAT IF YOU GOT PTC!! PTC does not tell you if a car in stopped on the tracks or a tree is across it or a person is walking in the tracks or there is 5 inches of water over the rail! Tell them how crew members have been attacked and some have even been killed by gang thugs and trespassers. A single man has no chance in hell in these situations. It is better to have someone else with you to keep watch when working in bad areas and ghetto rail yards. The list goes on and on. Tell them how the company took away the right of the crew members to take a power nap. One crew member is supposed to call stopped every 15 minutes while they are waiting on line of road. As long as someone is awake and doing this and paying attention there is no reason on god green earth while a tired crew member cant take a 20 minute power nap. Tell them how crews are run into the ground and some are called out every 10 hours around the clock. They work all hours of the day and night and most have no weekends off. The company wont even let them have a power nap. What is going to happen when there is only 1 man on the train by himself and he is just plain worn out or is sick and afraid to take a day off because of the companies new attendance policy which is just absolutely insane. People come to work sick all the time. Vomiting, diarrhea, fevers and the flu doesn't stop them because they are in fear of losing their jobs. How is a sick man who is all by himself going to be able to make a full run safely and without risking his life or the publics when he doesn't have his other crew member to help keep him alert. The engineer has many roles and duties as well as the conductor. There are times when something happens that it is a must for an engineer to be on board and ready to take instructions while the conductor handles the rest of the responsibilities. There are so many things that go into railroading and running trains that the public doesn't know a thing about. THIS ONE MAN CREW IDEA IS THE MOST UNSAFE AND IRRESPONSIBLE IDEA that has ever been brought forward in the history of the railroad industry. And for what? To save a damn dollar. To line someone's pockets. To make someone rich. Who care who gets killed. Who care about the destruction to family lives. I don't know about you but I sure the hell do and so should every person in America!
