Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 25ú lá de mí Lúnasa, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1972 shábháil seisear páiste ó sheomra leapa a bhí ar tine. I 1989 chuireadh ceist ar Bono ó U2 chun an bheith I gceoldráma sa West End. I 1998 bhí na Gardaí san Aonach Urmhumhan ar tinneall de bharr go ndúradh leo go raibh eitleán le 250 duine air ag eitilt le inneall amháin ag obair. Chuir siad plean éigeandála le chéile ach ar deireadh leaindeáil sé go sábháilte ag Aerfort na Sionainne. I 2010 bhí na Gardaí I nDurlas ag fiosriú tine a tharla sa bhaile agus de bharr sin tharla a lán damáiste tríd an bhfoirgneamh. Bhí atreorú trácht ann de bharr agus bhí na seirbhísí éigeandála ag iarradh an tine a mhúch. Sin Boyzone le No Matter What – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1998. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1970 chan Elton John don chéad uair I Meiriceá nuair a thosaigh sé a turas ceoil ag an Troubadour I Los Angeles. I 2006 bhí dordghiotáraí Aerosmith Tom Hamilton ag fáil chóir leighis d'ailse scornach agus de bharr sin ní raibh sé ábalta cúpla cheolchoirm a dhéanamh leis an bhanna cheoil agus bhí sé seo an chéad uair a chaill sé amach ar aon seó. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Sean Connery san Albain I 1930 agus rugadh amhránaí Billy Ray Cyrus I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1961 agus seo chuid de amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 25th of August, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1972: 6 children were saved from a bedroom fire 1989: u2 star Bono was asked to star in a west end musical 1998 -NENAGH gardai were put on major alert, following a report from the Ambulance Control Centre, in Limerick, that an aircraft with 250 passengers had shut down one engine. The gardaí were prepared to put a major emergency plan into operation, but fortunately, the plane, which had been circling the skies close to the town, landed safely at Shannon Airport.  2010 –Gardai in Thurles were investigating the circumstances surrounding a fire at a licensed premises in the town, which resulted in extensive damage being caused throughout the building. The fire at Blake's public house, Friar Street, Thurles, resulted in traffic diversions having to be put into place for vehicles travelling from Westgate, towards the Railway bridge and vice versa as emergency Services battled to bring the blaze under control.  That was Boyzone with No Matter What – the biggest song on this day in 1989 Onto music news on this day In 1970 Elton John made his US live debut when he kicked off a 17-date tour at the Troubadour in Los Angeles. 2006 Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton was undergoing treatment for throat cancer causing him to sit out the first half of the band's Route of All Evil Tour, the first time he would miss any shows in the band's history. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Sean Connery was born in Scotland in 1930 and singer Billy Ray Cyrus was born in America on this day in 1961 and this is one of his songs. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel speaks with Northwest railroad historian and author Martin Hansen about the fire on Monday, August 25, 2025 that appears to have completely destroyed a large and historic wooden structure belonging to the Columbia & Cowlitz Railway in Longview, Washington. There were no injuries reported. The nearly century-old structure housed a machine shop and other maintenance facilities for the railway, which was founded by Weyerhaeuser in 1925. Columbia & Cowlitz Railway is currently owned by Patriot Rail. CASCADE OF HISTORY reached out to Patriot Rail for comment, and received this written statement: "On Monday, August 25, 2025, at approximately 4:00 p.m., a fire broke out at the Nippon Dynawave Packaging Company building in Longview, WA. The building housed Patriot Rail's Columbia & Cowlitz Railway warehouse and locomotive shop. The Longview Fire Department and Cowlitz 2 Fire & Rescue responded promptly to the scene. No injuries were reported. The incident remains under investigation at this time."

This episode started out to check with Wallace Locomotive Works, but before we got a chance to do that, we lost a good friend and longtime supporter of the AML Nation. The one and only Ralph Renzetti a.k.a. the MudFather. Ralph was a regular on the Wednesday night chats, ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who might have questions about their modeling, especially when it came to paint and weathering. One of the most talented modelers to ever grace the airwaves of the AML. Ralph was truly an artist, and we were fortunate to know him. However, after a good cry for the first twenty minutes or so, we finally managed to get around to chatting with Chris and find out more about his ever-growing company. It's a great podcast and one we're sure you'll enjoy!!

China's railway operator says the country has seen 823 million railway passenger trips since the start of this year's summer travel rush on July 1. This figure marks an increase of 6.4 percent from the same period of 2024.

 सुनसान रेलवे स्टेशन In 2013, on a cold night, a female passenger vanished mysteriously after getting off the Delhi-Mathura Express at a deserted station with no signals or staff. CCTV footage showed a blurry, strange face in the station's mirror before abruptly cutting off. Hours later, her bag was found in the bus parking. Witnesses report hearing children's laughter inside the station walls at night. The station is said to be haunted, with recurring sightings of the eerie woman's half face appearing in the mirror every month on the 13th. Several women disappeared at this station on the same date. A ghostly presence walks late-night passengers off the platform, leaving wet footprints in the rainless night, making this a spine-chilling mystery.  Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Michael Jagdeo, a headhunter and founder working with Exponent Labs and The Syndicate, about the cycles of money, power, and technology that shape our world. Their conversation touches on financial history through The Ascent of Money by Niall Ferguson and William Bagehot's The Money Market, the rise and fall of financial centers from London to New York and the new Texas Stock Exchange, the consolidation of industries and the theory of oligarchical collectivism, the role of AI as both tool and chaos agent, Bitcoin and “quantitative re-centralization,” the dynamics of exponential organizations, and the balance between collectivism and individualism. Jagdeo also shares recruiting philosophies rooted in stories like “stone soup,” frameworks like Yu-Kai Chou's Octalysis and the User Type Hexad, and book recommendations including Salim Ismail's Exponential Organizations and Arthur Koestler's The Act of Creation. Along the way they explore servant leadership, Price's Law, Linux and open source futures, religion as an operating system, and the cyclical nature of civilizations. You can learn more about Michael Jagdeo or reach out to him directly through Twitter or LinkedIn.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:05 Stewart Alsop introduces Michael Jagdeo, who shares his path from headhunting actuaries and IT talent into launching startups with Exponent Labs and The Syndicate.00:10 They connect recruiting to financial history, discussing actuaries, The Ascent of Money, and William Bagehot's The Money Market on the London money market and railways.00:15 The Rothschilds, institutional knowledge, and Corn Laws lead into questions about New York as a financial center and the quiet launch of the Texas Stock Exchange by Citadel and BlackRock.00:20 Capital power, George Soros vs. the Bank of England, chaos, paper clips, and Orwell's oligarchical collectivism frame industry consolidation, syndicates, and stone soup.00:25 They debate imperial conquest, bourgeoisie leisure, the decline of the middle class, AI as chaos agent, digital twins, Sarah Connor, Godzilla, and nuclear metaphors.00:30 Conversation turns to Bitcoin, “quantitative re-centralization,” Jack Bogle, index funds, Robinhood micro bailouts, and AI as both entropy and negative entropy.00:35 Jagdeo discusses Jim Keller, Tenstorrent, RISC-V, Nvidia CUDA, exponential organizations, Price's Law, bureaucracy, and servant leadership with the parable of stone soup.00:40 Recruiting as symbiosis, biophilia, trust, Judas, Wilhelm Reich, AI tools, Octalysis gamification, Jordan vs. triangle offense, and the role of laughter in persuasion emerge.00:45 They explore religion as operating systems, Greek gods, Comte's stages, Nietzsche, Jung, nostalgia, scientism, and Jordan Peterson's revival of tradition.00:50 The episode closes with Linux debates, Ubuntu, Framer laptops, PewDiePie, and Jagdeo's nod to Liminal Snake on epistemic centers and turning curses into blessings.Key InsightsOne of the central insights of the conversation is how financial history repeats through cycles of consolidation and power shifts. Michael Jagdeo draws on William Bagehot's The Money Market to explain how London became the hub of European finance, much like New York later did, and how the Texas Stock Exchange signals a possible southern resurgence of financial influence in America. The pattern of wealth moving with institutional shifts underscores how markets, capital, and politics remain intertwined.Jagdeo and Alsop emphasize that industries naturally oligarchize. Borrowing from Orwell's “oligarchical collectivism,” Jagdeo notes that whether in diamonds, food, or finance, consolidation emerges as economies of scale take over. This breeds syndicates and monopolies, often interpreted as conspiracies but really the predictable outcome of industrial maturation.Another powerful theme is the stone soup model of collaboration. Jagdeo applies this parable to recruiting, showing that no single individual can achieve large goals alone. By framing opportunities as shared ventures where each person adds their own ingredient, leaders can attract top talent while fostering genuine symbiosis.Technology, and particularly AI, is cast as both chaos agent and amplifier of human potential. The conversation likens AI to nuclear power—capable of great destruction or progress. From digital twins to Sarah Connor metaphors, they argue AI represents not just artificial intelligence but artificial knowledge and action, pushing humans to adapt quickly to its disruptive presence.The discussion of Bitcoin and digital currencies reframes decentralization as potentially another trap. Jagdeo provocatively calls Bitcoin “quantitative re-centralization,” suggesting that far from liberating individuals, digital currencies may accelerate neo-feudalism by creating new oligarchies and consolidating financial control in unexpected ways.Exponential organizations and the leverage of small teams emerge as another key point. Citing Price's Law, Jagdeo explains how fewer than a dozen highly capable individuals can now achieve billion-dollar valuations thanks to open source hardware, AI, and network effects. This trend redefines scale, making nimble collectives more powerful than bureaucratic giants.Finally, the episode highlights the cyclical nature of civilizations and belief systems. From Rome vs. Carthage to Greek gods shifting with societal needs, to Nietzsche's “God is dead” and Jung's view of recurring deaths of divinity, Jagdeo argues that religion, ideology, and operating systems reflect underlying incentives. Western nostalgia for past structures, whether political or religious, risks idolatry, while the real path forward may lie in new blends of individualism, collectivism, and adaptive tools like Linux and AI.

It's a return to the “Lone Star” state and a visit with locomotive engineer Emory Lehman. We haven't talked to Emory for a few years since and decided it was about time to check up on what Emory‘s been doing. Things have changed quite a bit with his new job at the BNSF in Temple, Texas, a model railroader living across the street and his friend Mike making major changes to his layout. We also discuss the possible merger of the Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific railroads, and what are the possible effects it will have on railroading across America. Once again, it's a podcast with little or no direction, that's lots of fun with great discussion about everything under the sun. Enjoy!!

First: how Merkel killed the European dream ‘Ten years ago,' Lisa Haseldine says, ‘Angela Merkel told the German press what she was going to do about the swell of Syrian refugees heading to Europe': ‘Wir schaffen das' – we can handle it. With these words, ‘she ushered in a new era of uncontrolled mass migration'. ‘In retrospect,' explains one senior British diplomat, ‘it was pretty much the most disastrous government policy of this century anywhere in Europe.' The surge of immigrants helped swing Brexit, ‘emboldened' people-traffickers and ‘destabilised politics' across Europe. Ten years on, a third of the EU's member states within the Schengen area have now imposed border controls. Can freedom of movement survive in its current form? Lisa joined the podcast alongside Oliver Moody, Berlin correspondent for The Times. Next: the cultural impact of the railways It's been 200 years since the world's first public train travelled from Shildon to Stockton – across County Durham. Richard Bratby argues that this marked the start of a new era for Britain and the world: ‘no invention between the printing press and the internet has had as profound a cultural impact as the railways'.  How can we explain the romantic appeal of the railways? Richard joined the podcast to discuss, alongside Christian Wolmar, author of over twenty books about the railways including The Liberation Line.And finally: who is the Greatest Of All Time?What do Lionel Messi, Roger Federer and Tom Brady have in common? Their acolytes would argue that they are the GOAT of their sport – the Greatest Of All Time. Why are fans so obsessed with the GOAT label? Are pundits guilty of recency bias? And does it really matter anyway? Journalist Patrick Kidd joined the podcast to discuss, alongside the Spectator's Sam McPhail.Plus: Madeline Grant asks why not show J.D. Vance the real Britain? Hosted by William Moore and Gus Carter.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

It's part two of the Rob Bennett thirty-two-part trilogy as we try to figure out what makes this modeler tick. Is it the vast array of instructional videos he's created or his fabulous weathering or maybe it's just simply a love for the hobby that he's anxious to share with others. Rob tries to learn something everybody while not taking the hobby to seriously whilst learning the operations side of things. He enjoys the hobby anyway he can, and you never know what kind of equipment you'll see running across his layout. He approaches the hobby with a relaxed approach while enjoying the challenge of weathering and scenery. It's a great follow up podcast and one we're sure you'll enjoy!!

Indian Railways, one of the world's largest transport networks, is in considerable financial trouble. Despite carrying millions of passengers, it recovers barely half the cost of each journey. Freight earnings are propping up passenger services and ticket prices remain politically sensitive. In fact the Railways is increasingly relying on borrowings and Budget support for their capital investments. In this episode, we unpack the data behind the crisis, examine why even premium classes are losing money, and ask the big question: can fare hikes save the Railways without driving passengers away? Guest: A. Madhukumar Reddy, a 1987-batch Indian Railway Traffic Service officer who retired as Principal Executive Director of the Railway Board.

The History of Tower, Michigan (1900–1950) In this episode of End of the Road in Michigan, we travel to Cheboygan County to tell the story of Tower, a northern Michigan village built on timber and the railroad. At the turn of the 20th century, Tower was a booming lumber town — home to busy sawmills, the Stratton Handle Factory, and a thriving Main Street lined with shops, hotels, and saloons.But Tower's fortunes changed quickly. In 1911, a massive wildfire destroyed much of its industry and infrastructure. Just over a decade later, the Black River flooded, threatening to destroy the Tower Dam and washing out sections of railroad track. Through fire, flood, and economic decline, Tower adapted — from a bustling mill town to a quiet rural community.Using rare historical accounts, this episode traces the rise, trials, and survival of Tower, Michigan, from 1900 to 1950. It's a story echoed in small towns across the state — places built by the forest, changed by time, and held together by the people who stayed.

More than two years after the freight rail disaster just across the Pennsylvania border in East Palestine, Ohio, lawmakers are still trying to increase safety regulations on railroads. Western Pa. Congressman Chris Deluzio is working to gather support for his Railway Safety Act of 2025. Freight rail carriers Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific are looking to merge, which would create the first transcontinental railroad in the U.S. The deal still needs to be approved by regulators, but many in Altoona are closely watching. Two people died in a Sunday morning house fire in York County. A 15-year old boy drowned in a Lancaster County pond, while at least one person was rescued from the Susquehanna River last weekend. Capital Region Water is launching a $1.4 billion upgrade to its aging water infrastructure in the Harrisburg area. The project focuses on environmental issues stemming from the company's combined sewer system which handles both rainwater and sewage. A former Middletown, Dauphin County man is being charged in connection with a 12-year old case of animal cruelty. Reading and Lancaster are ranked in the top three fastest-selling housing markets in the nation. Federal funding for public media has been rescinded.

After years of travelling about the country working on transformers, not the plastic kind like you'd see in the movies such as “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” but actual transformers that do all sorts of cool electrical things. Our next guest finally settled in Erie, Pennsylvania because like his friend and fellow modeler Mike Hauk his love of shoveling snow seven months of the year bonds these men together. You can thank Rob Bennett's son for his current layout which occupies approximately a 12‘ x 50‘ space after satisfying his love of European railroads they started over and now have a beautiful layout that mostly reflects the area of Western Pennsylvania. Rob is one of those guys that works at a feverish pace and after what would take most of us decades to complete he's enjoying making instructional videos. This is a great discussion with a modeler that some would say, “just gets it done.” Enjoy!!

There's nothing more fun than a visit down the road to Tillsonburg, Ontario with the sole purpose of a visit to the Otter Valley Railroad shop and visit with our friend Lorne James. You can always be sure that there will be lots of editing, lots of dizzying questions and answers with fun being had by all. Lorne stopped by the ModelersLife studios to bring us up to date on all the new cars that he's having manufactured regardless of today's turmoil in the retail sector of model railroad industry. As always, it's lots of fun talking to Lorne and finding out what's happening in Tillsonburg, Ontario. My back still hurts when I hear that word. Enjoy!!

On this week's Access Hour, we bring you a conversation with Gareth Dennis, a United Kingdom-based engineer and author, who was hosted by the High Speed Rail Alliance (https://www.hsrail.org) on July 11, 2025 for a discussion about his new book How the Railways Will Fix the Future. In it, he looks at the history of railways (including the role they have played in extraction and exploitation) but focuses on their power to tackle issues facing us today and to shape a better future. Topics for discussion included lessons to learn from global railway operations on what works best long-term, and what this might mean in the United States. The conversation starts with introductions from staff of the High-Speed Rail Alliance, Rick Harnish and Chris Ott. The Access Hour airs on Forward Radio, 106.5fm, WFMP-LP Louisville, every Wednesday at 2pm and repeats Thursdays at 11am and Fridays at 1pm.

The Pittsburgh, Bessemer & Lake Erie Railroad Company was founded in 1897 by Andrew Carnegie to haul iron ore and other products from the port at Conneaut, Ohio on the Great Lakes to Carnegie Steel Company plants in Pittsburgh and the surrounding region. At the end of 1925 B&LE operated 228 miles of road on 631 miles of track; at the end of 1970, mileages were 220 and 489. Enter our next guest who's carefully modeling the B&LE in the early 50's. Ray Brown has worked all over the United States and finally settled just west of Erie, Pennsylvania for two reasons: To experience as much snow fall as possible and to faithfully recreate the Bessemer and Lake Erie in a fifty by thirty-foot basement on a double and triple deck layout. Introduced to us by our in-house medical staff of one, (Mike Hauk) Ray's story is a great listen and one we're sure you'll enjoy!!

Have you ever wondered what happens to all those great model railroad clubs that don't own their own building or eventually the owner of a private home that houses club passes away?? The most common answer is nothing and so was the case with the Southern Pacific Model Railway club in Rocky Hill, New Jersey. Except in this case a successful TV who also happens to be a lifelong model railroader decided to step in and save the day. James Murray and his wife, Melyssa, who live a short distance away in Princeton, came to the rescue after an article was published in the Wall Street Journal. This is one of the most heartwarming stories we've come across since doing the podcast and James was happy to share the story as he walked us through the adventures of buying the Pacific Southern Railway Club.

It's a return visit to White Rose Hobbies, in York, Pennsylvania. Only this time we're talking with the non-model railroad partner get Thomas who apparently is in charge of ordering paint. We still haven't gotten around to talking about some their great stories from the days of working on the Norfolk Southern but with White Rose agreeing to be the full-time sponsor of the podcast, we'll look forward to it in the future!! However, we here at the old AML nation enjoy hearing about the behind-the-scenes world model railroad retail and everything that goes into it along with it. This is just one of those classic ModelersLife conversations with a returning guest that really has no direction other than to enjoy each other‘s company. It's a great podcast and one we're sure you'll enjoy.

Devastation is the distraction, and the world is not being allowed to see. When will the focus shift back to Gaza? Resetting the camera angle for a convincing story. You are never locked out from learning more. Never say you are not good at politics. Gridlock excuses inaction. Leadership thrives when we feel helpless. The dirty details on the Iran debacle. Amplifying the need for clarity. The stage is on fire, and truth gets smoked out in distractions. The problem isn't chaos, it's multi-domain cleansing. Life is about planting the right seeds. The ultimate check play. This war, like others, has the same patterns and shields. The US is desperate to control China via naval assets. Energy supplies are key. By-product that are good for the Gulf. The new land based alternative. Iran is China's back up plan. Strategic disability for planners. Lip wristed pussies with no missile defense. The NATO member to watch is Turkey. They host US nukes. Russia's has real red lines. Chinese rail tech is a Trojan horse on tracks. And they watch everything. Trade flow leverage is real. When man's hand gets into the Bible, the written word is changed. Book two is out and it shows how they skew things. Shadow groups and code words. Let's all recognize the courage it takes to stand against the system that feeds off chaos.

While it might seem to the naked eye that the preservation of America's railroads from the past is sporadic at best, we here at the AML Nation would argue that it's exactly the opposite. Recently, we had the chance to talk with Bryan Lalevee from the Norfolk and Western Business Car 300 Preservation Society an enthusiastic group of volunteers that's already completed the restoration of one beautiful car. No. 300 was built by the Pullman Co. in June of 1917 and served Norfolk & Western for its career before being inherited by Norfolk Southern in 1982. It saw sporadic use during and eventually sold at auction in 1987 to a private individual. It traveled across the United States and Canada behind Amtrak and VIA Rail Canada until 1991 when it was put into a warehouse.
