Six people were taken to a local hospital and nine people were treated at the scene by Dallas Fire-Rescue after a fire involving a DART train occurred Wednesday afternoon. Between 10 to 15 people were evacuated from one of the transit cars after a fire was reported on the train near the Pearl and Arts District station. In other news, a ban on retail products containing THC won overwhelming support for the second time this year in the Texas Senate on Wednesday, even as the shadow of another veto by Gov. Greg Abbott hangs over its passage into law; frustration over the way Texas uses computers to grade students' essays on the STAAR test is building after Dallas ISD officials again saw more than one-third of the exams they submitted for review come back with higher scores; and a whiff of optimism has spilled into the Pleasant Grove community with improvements led by The Loop Dallas, a nonprofit that's steering a mammoth 50-mile trail around the city.

When you meet Teara Harris, you know instantly—this woman is a force. In this episode of WAHNcast, she shares her powerful journey: from overcoming childhood adversity and learning to read in 7th grade, to becoming a preacher, HR pro, nonprofit founder, and real estate developer transforming her hometown.

Her work at The Rail District is reshaping Lagrange, GA—turning neglected spaces into inclusive, mixed-income neighborhoods with affordable luxury homes, homebuyer assistance programs, and spaces that bring people together. Teara reminds us that leadership isn't about popularity—it's about purpose, persistence, and showing up for your community, especially when it's hard. You'll laugh and you'll be reminded why home matters.
P.M. Edition for July 29. The merger deal between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern would create a single company controlling coast-to-coast rail shipments for the first time in U.S. history. WSJ reporter Esther Fung discusses why the deal isn't totally done yet, and why it's taken this long to get a coast-to-coast rail operator. Plus, JPMorgan Chase is nearing a deal to take over Apple's credit-card program. We hear from WSJ banking reporter AnnaMaria Andriotis about why the deal would be significant. And as tech companies build more electricity-hungry data centers to power artificial intelligence, utilities want the companies to pay more. Journal reporter Katherine Blunt describes how the dynamic is playing out across the U.S. Alex Ossola hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter. Learn more about your ad choices.

After shamelessly stealing the topic from Joe Beamer, we talk about the proposed expansion of the Metro Rail out to UB North Campus. The project probably wouldn't be completed until 2032 at the earliest, and would cost upwards of $1 billion, not even figuring in the inevitable cost overruns. Even if you're a fan of public transit, is this even worth it?

Edition No203 | 26-07-2025 - We are turning the spotlight inward—into Russia and Belarus—exploring courageous dissent rarely seen in mainstream coverage. Today, we unpack protests inside Russia (or the lack of them), sabotage of military assets, partisan rail warfare in Belarus, and the shifting lines between Russian anti‑Kremlin actors and Ukraine's intelligence. Spoiler alert: Putin's control is showing cracks, but probably not enough to bring the house down.----------Public protests in Russia remain rare—and now seem to be confined to places outside the capital, or even ethnically majority Russian places. 2022 was the high-water mark of protests that were explicitly anti-war, but after that an exodus of people fleeing mobilisation and the crack down on protests, there had been very little. People last went out in mass in defiance of the regime after Navalny died, and on the day of his funeral. But these were more implicit criticism of the regime rather than explicit or direct. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: https://kyivindependent.com/russian-su-27ub-fighter-jet-catches-fire-in-apparent-act-of-resistance-ukraine-military-intelligence-says/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/04/23/ukraine-belarus-railway-saboteurs-russia/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_war_in_Belarus_%282022%E2%80%93present%29https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_the_Wagonshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat_Organization_of_Anarcho-Communistshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machulishchy_air_base_attack----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

This week, Joseph Towers discusses potential Class I mergers—Union Pacific with Norfolk Southern and BNSF with CSX—which could reshape U.S. rail but face steep regulatory hurdles. He also covers new U.S. trade moves with Japan and the EU.Rail traffic rose 5.4% YoY, led by gains in grain, motor vehicles, and coal. Intermodal volumes are also up, especially for CSX and Canadian carriers. Year-to-date rail traffic is up 2.9%, driven by intermodal strength.Plus, a reminder: the FTR Conference is just weeks away!The Rail Market Update is hosted by FTR's Senior Analyst, Rail, Joseph Towers.

The Green Party is pushing to reinstate passenger rail across the country - starting by connecting Tauranga and Auckland. It's launched a petition targeting the Minister for Rail to get it done. The party says it would cost $10 million over four years to extend the Te Huia train to Tauranga. But Transport Spokesperson Julie Anne Genter says it will cost more to achieve the long-term vision. "Total budget for all the projects, including a transformational improvement to the rail network - which would mean a two and a half hour train journey between Tauranga and Auckland - is about five and a half billion."

In an era where sustainable transport solutions are more critical than ever, rail travel is emerging as a preferred choice for many. In our latest podcast episode, Anthony Smith, chair of the Independent Rail Retailers, discusses the pivotal role these retailers play in encouraging more people to choose rail.Anthony highlights the importance of customer-focused retailing, which is essential for meeting the evolving needs of passengers. With a strong emphasis on innovation in ticketing, independent rail retailers are at the forefront of developing solutions that make rail travel more accessible and appealing. From split ticketing to digital ticketing solutions, these innovations are helping to drive growth in the rail market.A significant portion of online ticket sales, approximately 90%, is processed through independent rail retailers. This demonstrates their influence and the trust passengers place in them for value and service quality. As Anthony notes, competition among retailers fosters better outcomes for consumers, driving them to innovate and enhance customer experiences.Looking ahead, the introduction of Great British Railways presents both challenges and opportunities for independent retailers. Anthony emphasises the need for a level playing field to ensure fair competition between public and private entities. As the rail landscape evolves, the collaboration between these retailers and the government will be crucial in shaping a modern, efficient rail network.Fare simplification is another key topic discussed in the episode. While the idea of simplifying fares sounds appealing, Anthony warns that it may lead to increased costs. The focus should be on presenting clear options to customers, ensuring they understand the choices available to them without losing sight of affordability.As we navigate the complexities of the rail industry, it's clear that independent rail retailers are not just selling tickets; they are champions for passengers, striving to enhance the overall rail experience. With a commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction, the future of rail travel looks promising.To learn more about how these retailers are making a difference and what the future holds for rail travel in the UK, make sure you listen to the latest episode of the RTM podcast.

A former international athlete knocked down by a car while out jogging managed to get to her feet and run more than half a mile home - despite suffering a fractured spine.The driver has appeared in court after the runner was struck near Canterbury, sending her tumbling into a grass bank and onto the road.And in football, Gillingham's draw against Reading gave their manager a good feeling about what the team could achieve in the future.We spoke to Gareth Ainsworth after Saturday's match.
Welcome to another Rail Safety Review, and yes, despite the joys of a strep throat and a voice that sounds like it's been dragged through ballast, Dan is back to talk trains.This week we're diving into the chaos that's been brewing recently on the West Coast Main Line—a derailment near Bletchley, a buffer bump at Euston, trees taking down wires, freight trains giving up the ghost, and more disruption than you can shake a track circuit at. Safe to say, it's not been a great run up North.We also get an inside look at the new branding for Signals to Danger, as Dan shares the story behind the podcast's visual overhaul, why now was the right time for a refresh, and what remains unchanged at the heart of the show.
Vous qui souhaitez voyager cet été tout en ayant un petit budget, le gouvernement a peut-être trouvé la solution ! Depuis le 15 juin 2024, il a mis en vente les premiers Pass Rail, notamment sur son application Connect. C'est un forfait à 49 euros par mois qui s'adresse aux moins de 27 ans et qui leur permet de voyager en illimité dans toute la France cet été. Toutes les régions ont donné leurs accords, les utilisateurs ont donc un accès illimité aux trains régionaux, les TER, ainsi qu'aux Intercités. Ils ne pourront en revanche pas utiliser les TGV. Certes, cela revient moins cher, mais le trajet sera aussi plus long. Théoriquement, vous pouvez bien traverser toute la France, pour les plus courageux il vous suffira d'emprunter des TER lorsque les liaisons ne pourront pas être effectuées en Intercités. Vraiment partout ? Pourquoi ? Et financièrement, le pass rail est vraiment intéressant ? Un podcast Bababam Originals, écrit et réalisé par Joanne Bourdin.

It's feared two critical Clare infrastructure projects may never see the light of day without action in this government's term. The Ennis to Limerick rail line has been the subject of frequent closures due to flooding at Ballycar near Newmarket-On-Fergus, however a feasible drainage solution has been identified, for a cost of €16.7m. While Clare County Council has also applied for a major funding stream to commence preliminary works to reopen Crusheen Railway Station. Clare Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney says a commitment is urgently needed.
Have you ever thought how we got here - that farm land is all AWAY and houses are all in close?That products come to you... and packaging is often more important than the thing inside?That didn't happen over night. The fact that farms are there, house are here, and manufacturing stuff is a third place altogether is not an accident. Instead it's something that has been developing in America for about 200 year.To see WHY you don't have neighborhood farms - as well as why things like setting up local recycling centers and other things that make stuff is hard - listen in to how the roots of segregated land use ties back to the early railroad.I mean... maybe a local goat and donkey pasture wouldn't be such a bad thing?Anyway - more Pea Patches...!But also understand why modern American Farms Markets will always have food from hundreds of miles away.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot comThreads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFood

Discover more at www.commtrex.com. Key Takeaways: Beyond the Tracks: The Next Frontier of American Rail Rail freight industry is exploring innovations like longer trains, digitization, cleaner energy, and inland terminals to enhance efficiency and sustainability. Rail transportation is suitable for high-volume freight over long distances, typically 500-600 miles or more, with a minimum volume equivalent to four to eight truckloads. Railroads move freight in two primary components: intermodal (containers on flatcars) and carload/merchandise commodities. Rail transportation enables efficient, low-carbon freight movement, reducing emissions by 75% compared to trucking. Trucking goods by rail instead of road has sustainability advantages and helps address the shortage of long-haul truck drivers. Commtrex is a platform connecting rail shippers with service providers across the US, Canada, and Mexico, providing visibility and facilitating communication.

Drawn from our 2025 Rail Insights conference, this edition of Railway Age's podcast series features Surface Transportation Board Chair Patrick Fuchs in conversation with Editor-in Chief William C. Vantuono. Now in his second five-year term expiring Jan. 14, 2029, Fuchs was first Senate-confirmed in 2019. Fuchs earned second-term support from dozens of rail shipper groups who citied his expertise and offered depictions as “calm,” “transparent” and “seriously thoughtful.” Railroads, which rarely take positions on pending nominations, acknowledged support. In his six years at the STB, Fuchs' “just the facts” approach has had him siding with railroads and shippers. As examples, his railroad-favorable dissent rejecting an STB-initiated Final Offer Rate Review was cited by an appellate court, while he issued a partial dissent to side with shippers in a recent high-value tank car case.
