True Crime Tuesday presents: Dr. Francis Tumblety and The Railway Ripper with Researcher/Author, Michael L. Hawley! Nearly lost to history were 76 similar unsolved murders and brutal assaults of women in the US during the late 19th century; heinous crimes that were committed along the railways. Shockingly, Jack the Ripper suspect Dr. Francis Tumblety cannot be eliminated as having committed each of these crimes. Even more shocking, Dr. Tumblety can corroborate his time in WhiteChapel with the time of the Jack the Ripper murders, and they mysteriously stopped when he went to America! So, why did Scotland Yard spend time and resources to track Dr. Tumblety to America and keep an eye on him? Why was he considered a serious Jack The Ripper suspect, yet no action was taken? Better yet, why in only recent years, has Dr. Tumblety even been considered a strong suspect in the Jack The Ripper Murders?  Author/Researcher Michael L. Hawley joins TCT to answer all these questions and build the case that Tumblety is the Ripper!   Get "Dr. Francis Tumblety and The Railway Ripper" here:  https://bit.ly/44VgxKc Find out more about Michael L.

So you're asking yourself, who's that guy sitting beside the “Dude” each time you watch “What's Neat This Week” featuring Ken “the Dude” Patterson?? Why it's none other than Joshua Barton, a man of many skills including to help keep the “Dude” on track so to speak, with product announcements, guest line-ups and looking after the always popular Mike Budde. Joshua has had a very interesting life as a chef, musician, video tech to name just a few of his talents. He's also currently building a layout featuring the area around Desoto, Missouri in a friend's basement, with benchwork that could support an M1 Abrams tank from the U.S. Military. Most of us know him as Joshua “SugarFire” Barton but he's moved on from that career and for now is concentrating on the hobby of model railroading. It's an interesting episode and one we're sure you'll leave with more questions than answers. Enjoy!!

Have you ever stood on the shores of Lake Erie looking wistfully across towards Canada only to wish you had more foreigners use your bathroom. Have you ever stared at the photos from the Collinsville Railroad Prototype Modelers wondering what it would be like if Buzz and Lorne went?? Well, then this is the podcast for you. On this addition of “a ModelersLife,” we learn about such things as using a hovercraft to get across Lake Erie, burying assorted model railroad train supplies on a farm, heat stroke at the St. Louis Cardinals game, and what to do if you're Canadian and you like trains. So grab yourself a big bowl of shredded marine maps and a tall cool glass of Cleveland Harbor sludge and enjoy.

Gary Newby in conversation with David Eastaugh Factory Records recorded their debut single "A Gentle Sound" in 1986. This was followed by their first album, Reunion Wilderness in 1987. They left Factory shortly afterwards and were signed to Virgin Records. 1988 saw the release of their second album, Recurrence, on Virgin Records, and support tours with R.E.M. in Europe (Work Tour) and The Sugarcubes in the US. A national chart hit eluded them with singles "In the Meantime", "Somewhere South" and "Over and Over". In 1990, they released Native Place, an album that saw the band take a more pop oriented direction, with keyboard textures coming more to the fore than previously. "Every Beat of the Heart" became a top 40 hit in the UK with a peak at No. 24.

Federal approval for the Uinta Basin Railway was recently revoked by the U.S. Court of Appeals. The proposed 88-mile railway is intended to connect oil fields in eastern Utah to a larger network of railways, including a section of the Union Pacific Railway line, which runs through Grand County. With this new route, oil producers were hoping to transport an additional 350,000 gallons of waxy crude oil out of the Uinta Basin daily. Plus, we hear from our partners at KOTO about how the Telluride Mushroom Festival is acknowledging Colorado's recent decriminalization of psilocybin. //Photo: A map of the proposed Uinta Basin Railway show where the new tracks would connect to the Union Pacific line, carrying oil through Utah and Colorado on its way to the Gulf of Mexico. //Show Notes: //7 County Infrastructure Coalition: Uinta Basin Railway https://scic-utah.org/projects/uinta-basin-railway/

On today's show, we'll hear an encore of a show from our archives that first aired in April. We'll be looking at the environmental impact of the rail industry and hear from people in two communities currently impacted by rail-related contamination. In February, a Suffolk Northern train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, and residents are still recovering from the disaster over two months later. Residents like Jami Wallace and community organizations are fighting for relief. In Houston's Fifth Ward, residents have been living with the dire health effects of carcinogenic creosote used to treat railroad ties decades ago. Health officials have found cancer clusters in the neighborhood, where many have been devastated by the loss of friends, neighbors and loved ones. We'll hear a story from Living Downstream about the impacts to this close-knit community, where residents and organizers like Sandra Edwards continue to advocate for accountability and justice.  Like this program?

What do you say to somebody that tells you they're building a four-deck model railroad, we weren't sure either, but were determined to find out. John's love of railroads in the Chesapeake Bay area during the 1970s has led him to create a model railroad with multiple helixes several decks creating what believe will be in layout for the ages. Our next guest is a lifelong modeler, who recently joined the Rapido Trains team as project manager number 347.  But wait, there's more, after a short stent at Custom Model Railroads in Baltimore and creating laser cut acrylic structure kits. John moved on to producing accurate decals for all major scales of the hobby, as well as stenciling for the restoration of some full-size railroad equipment with his Mount Vernon Shops becoming a growing concern since the early 2000's. It's a great interview with tons of interesting info, enjoy!!

Over the past 20 years, tens of thousands of kilometers of new railway lines have been built across Africa - much of it constructed and financed by China. But the days when Beijing paid big bucks to build these kinds of large-scale infrastructure projects in Africa have come to an end.Today, China's development priorities on the continent are focused more on fostering industrialization and building smaller, greener projects mostly in the energy and telecommunications sectors. But even without the Chinese, a number of African governments are moving forward with ambitious plans to build vast regional rail networks.Tim Zajontz, a lecturer in international relations at the University of Dresden, and Mandira Bagwandeen, a senior researcher at the University of Cape Town, join Eric & Cobus to discuss their new book on Africa's railway renaissance and China's indispensable role.SHOW NOTES:Amazon: Africa's Railway Renaissance: The Role and Impact of China by Tim Zajontz, Pádraig Carmody, Mandira Bagwandeen, Anthony Leysens: https://amzn.to/45z0McLThe China-Global South Project: An Unforgettable Journey on East Africa's Chinese-Built Railways, Old and New by Zhang Haotian: https://bit.ly/3YBRESdJOIN THE DISCUSSION:X: @ChinaGSProject| @stadenesque | @eric_olander | @tzajontzLinkedIn: Tim Zajontz: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-zajontz-phd-a27749121/Mandira Bagwandeen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mandira-bagwandeen-07422328/Facebook: www.facebook.com/ChinaAfricaProjectYouTube: www.youtube.com/@ChinaGlobalSouthFOLLOW CAP IN FRENCH AND ARABIC:Français: www.projetafriquechine.com | @AfrikChineعربي: www.akhbaralsin-africia.com | @AkhbarAlSinAfrJOIN US ON PATREON!Become a CAP Patreon member and get all sorts of cool stuff, including our Week in Review report, an invitation to join monthly Zoom calls with Eric & Cobus, and even an awesome new CAP Podcast mug!www.patreon.com/chinaafricaprojectSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Nearest Airport: Indira Gandhi International airport (DEL) Nearest Railway Station: New Delhi  Railway station (NDLS) Prerequisites -  NA Packing - Good walking shoes, water to stay hydrated, umbrella, shades Time of the year - Oct, Feb, Mar Length of the itinerary: 3-5 days Itinerary Highlights:  Vishnu starts by covering the history and background of the 7 cities of Delhi, and why it was so important over the years We focus our discussion on Shahjanabad or current day Old Delhi, Delhi 6.  1. Lal Kot / Qila Rai Pithora - settled by the Tomars and the Rajputs, including Prithviraj Chauhan 2. Siri - In 1192, Mohammad Ghori defeated Prithviraj, and left the region to his slave and commander, Qutbuddin Aibak, who built the city of Siri, which was also used and consolidated by the Khilji dynasty.  3. Tughlaqabad -  4. Jahanpanah - Ghiyassudin Tughlaq's impressive fort-city, which can still be visited, was cursed from the start, and his successor Mohammad bin Tughlaq fortified the walls of Qila Rai Pithora and Siri, and encapsulated them into a new city: Jahanpanah 5. Firozabad/ Feroz Shah Kotla - His successor, Feroz Shah Tughlaq, was the first to build a fort along the Yamuna, recognized as the fifth city of Delhi. Feroz Shah's city was humongous by the standards of the day, extending from the Northern Ridge (where the other Ashokan Pillar stands) to Hauz Khas 6. Shergarh - Then, Sher Shah Suri, upon defeating Humayun in 1540, returned to Indrapat, a purportedly ancient village, and built his city, Shergarh, at the same site. 7. Dinpanah  - Humayun came to power in 1555, and added to that, building the Purana Qila as his city, Dinpanah.Shah Jahan's great-grandfather, Humayun, too, had built a capital city there—Dinpanah, which later came to be called the Purana Qila or ‘Old Fort'.  8. Shahjahanabad  - Shahjahan was the next Mughal to reign from Delhi, and gave it the most recent historical city,Shahjahanabad. Northward along the Yamuna, it had fourteen gates, and enjoyed the Golden Era of Mughal rule. It continued to serve as the Mughal capital until the end of the dynasty in 1857, in the decades before which it saw a brilliant cultural renaissance, a time of high etiquette, courtly graces and flourishing literary and music culture. We talk about the main structures around which Shahjahanabad is structured - Red Fort and Jama Masjid We also speak about the different developments that came up between and around these structures including Chandni Chowk, mosques, temples, markets, food streets, nature and much more.  “Link to episode on Mangalore with Sampath Menon” - https://open.spotify.com/episode/1vVloNSFG0deaMUzzSuhUk?si=ia9whfB6Q4ePm7ZgKt5F8Q  Links: Link to Vishnu's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charithra.sanchari/ Photo by Sergio Capuzzimati on Unsplash Follow the Musafir stories on: Twitter : https://twitter.com/musafirstories?lang=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themusafirstories/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/musafirstoriespodcast/?hl=en website: www.themusafirstories.com email: themusafirstories@gmail.com Do follow IVM Podcasts on social media.

Time has passed, a year has gone by, and another visit to the Station Inn in Cresson, Pennsylvania has produced more great interviews with some very interesting characters. Situated beside the Norfolk Southern's main line from Altoona to Johnstown, Pennsylvania fighting over some of the steepest mainline grades east of the Mississippi. It's a busy helper district with high-volume traffic. In part, one of the Cresson Chronicles, we interviewed a delightful fellow known as John Zelehoski with a plethora of unfinished stories. We talked to Doug Watts, a former Conrail employee, lifelong railroader and finally someone that's becoming a fan favorite with his cheerful personality, Ralph Heiss, or we like to refer to him as Ralphie Boy. This is a great podcast and one we're sure you'll enjoy.

The vastness of this land is hard to fathom, and embedded in its earth is an iron spine. 160,000 miles of ringing railroad. and as deep and dark as the mist veiled forests and pitted canyons can be, deeper still are the mysteries and secrets along this great expanse. And there's no better way to explore this visage, than by the haunting light of a westbound train. From Cursed Death Cars in Cleveland Ohio to diamond eyed drifters and ET altercations out west, join us, as we grab a seat in the observation car, order up a night cap and peer out through the darkness at the things lurking along the ride..

Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland, and its site has been occupied since the Bronze Age. It's been a major port since the 19th century, and the Harland & Wolff shipyard built RMS Titanic here. It's a city of much history, so it comes as no surprise that there are plenty of ghost stories linked with Belfast. Haunted prisons, railway stations, private homes, even roads - Belfast has the lot. So let's explore some of these Belfast ghost stories - and a particularly weird experience at one of its Bronze Age sites - in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!

Welcome aboard to a captivating journey through time on today's episode. Join us as we delve into the annals of one of the most iconic railway networks – the Great Western Railway. Unravelling its rich history, we'll explore how this engineering marvel transformed communities and landscapes, forging connections that have stood the test of time. From the remarkable feats of engineering that birthed this railway titan to the tales of courage, determination and tragedies by individuals who made it all possible, our guest, author and historian Robin Wichard, takes us on an enthralling ride. But that's not all – brace yourselves for some accounts of the supernatural, as we venture into the mysteries that enshroud the Great Western Railway's past. So, whether you're a history enthusiast or simply seeking a nostalgic journey through picturesque landscapes, hop aboard our railway time machine as we uncover stories that have been preserved along this true country branch line of the old Great Western Railway. All aboard for a captivating expedition into the heart of railway heritage! My Special Guest is Robin Wichard Robin Wichard has worked as a teacher of history for over 30 years and now retired works in various capacities on the West Somerset Railway - Britain's longest preserved heritage railway. He has written a number of books from school resource books to texts on Victorian Photography and Re-living the 1940s. The West Somerset Railway Dating back to its construction, this railway behemoth carved its path through the picturesque countryside, connecting ten unique stations across a twenty-mile scenic journey. The legacy of historic steam locomotives, charming coaches, and steadfast wagons comes alive, echoing tales of an era long past. The intricate architecture of these stations, each a testament to a rich industrial heritage, traverse through the Quantock hills, Exmoor, and idyllic villages nestled in leafy lanes offering glimpses into unspoiled landscapes. Behold the breathtaking vistas of the Bristol Channel and distant South-Wales, with the confident spires of churches and the imposing presence of Dunster Castle. Isambard Brunel At the centre of the Great Western Railway's history is the visionary figure of Isambard Kingdom Brunel. A turning point came when a collective of West Somerset landowners sought Brunel's expertise to transform a concept into reality – the West Somerset Railway, a link connecting Watchet, a historic harbor town, to the region and beyond. The area's wealth of quarries necessitated a means of efficient transportation, and though a railway already existed in the form of the West Somerset Mineral Line, the connection to the Bristol and Exeter Railway was seen as vital. The railway eventually opened in 1862, three years after Brunel's passing. His indelible influence endures in the heritage line that stands today, the longest of its kind in England. In this episode, you will be able to:  1. Uncover some of the history, significance and social impact that the West Somerset Railway had. 2. Explore aspects of life on the railway and in the communities nearby. 3. Discover some of the paranormal reports and ghost lore attached to the line. 4. Examine the role the railway played during WWII and hear more about an upcoming immersive event.

The hobby is dying, there's nothing but old guys in it, and soon there won't be anything left of model railroading. We here at the old AML Nation don't believe that for a second and this podcast is solid proof that the hobby is alive and well. John McGuire is a 22 year old enthusiastic modeler with a talent for installing LED lights and DCC decoders.  Installing LED lights in model railroad locomotives can add a realistic touch to your layout, making the trains more visually appealing and immersive. John decided to start Garden State Modelworks and is quickly becoming known as a master craftsman with installations. When “Uncle” Dave found out that all he had to do was meet John with a box of locomotives at a gas station on the interstate he was sold on the idea and seeds of this of this podcast were planted. Enjoy!!

Much like President Franklin D. Roosevelt's series of radio broadcasts during WWII, “Uncle” Dave's fireside chats have become a cornerstone of the AML nation, bringing calmness and stability to the fast-paced, ever-changing world of model railroading. Just like FDR, “Uncle” Dave's fireside chats are designed to make complex issues and policies more accessible while at the same time avoiding that most common of all mistakes… Gluing your finger to your eyelid. Whether Dave is discussing the ebb and flow in world of business and railroading, the hiring of conductors and engineers, getting ready for next year's big Springfield show, his family taking precedence over all things railroading or just talking about one of his favorite railfanning spots, it all makes for great conversation. So grab yourself a big bowl of shredded hotel bed sheets, a tall cool glass of melted candle was wax and enjoy!!

The hobby of model railroading just continues to grow and grow, and today's electronics is opening up all sorts of avenues that we never thought possible just a few short years ago. One of those companies that is increasing enjoyment of the hobby is a small business located in Warwick, Rhode Island, called East Coast Circuits, specializing, in lighting affects for emergency vehicles, such as police, cars, firetrucks, ambulances and other vehicles like the UPS five-ton delivery van. There's also a whole range of circuits for crossing gates, traffic lights, burning fires and a range of other random lighting circuits. In just a few short years East Coast Circuits has made a name for itself and continues to grow. This is an amazing story of some enterprising fellows that decided to turn the hobby on its ear using nothing but a few LED lights, nine-volt batteries and a bit of wire. It's a story we're sure you'll enjoy.

This is the story of a boy and his heavyweight passenger car known as “Erie Business Car One.” When not running JL Innovative Design with his brother Mike, Chris Costello can be found pursuing his other hobby of collecting full size 1:1 railroad equipment and the center piece of his collection is “Erie One,” a private railroad car operated by the Erie Railroad Company.  Private railroad cars, also known as business cars or executive cars, were used by railroad executives, dignitaries, and sometimes wealthy passengers for luxurious and comfortable travel. These cars were equipped with lavish amenities, including comfortable sleeping quarters, a dining area, lounges, and even office spaces to conduct business while on the move. Chris bought the car and with the help of some dedicated individuals is slowly bring it back to life. This is a great podcast and one we're sure you'll enjoy!!

The Kenyan government's controversial decision to end certain subsidies and raise taxes sparked days of violent protests in Nairobi. While the move sparked a massive backlash, President William Ruto nonetheless clearly felt he had no other choice if he wanted to avoid defaulting on the country's ballooning national debt.A sizable portion of that debt, around 10%, is owed to Chinese creditors for the construction of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), Kenya's largest-ever infrastructure project.Now, a series of documentaries and research initiatives are revealing the complex politics behind this massive infrastructure and that Kenyan stakeholders had much more agency in the negotiations with China than many presumed.Soundbites to African Uncensored - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8SSOIb3zzK8e9e9rLPEe-UQxv_IZep_K JOIN THE DISCUSSION:Twitter: @ChinaGSProject| @stadenesque | @eric_olander |@huangzhengli | @gediminasleFacebook: www.facebook.com/ChinaAfricaProjectYouTube: www.youtube.com/@ChinaGlobalSouthFOLLOW CAP IN FRENCH AND ARABIC:Français: www.projetafriquechine.com | @AfrikChineعربي: www.akhbaralsin-africia.com | @AkhbarAlSinAfrJOIN US ON PATREON!Become a CAP Patreon member and get all sorts of cool stuff, including our Week in Review report, an invitation to join monthly Zoom calls with Eric & Cobus, and even an awesome new CAP Podcast mug!www.patreon.com/chinaafricaprojectSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The All Island Strategic Railway Review is due to come before the Cabinet later this month, and it includes plans for more high speed connections between major cities and an increase in freight connections to ports. But Ireland wasn't always so poorly connected by rail, so why did we ever close so many of our lines to begin with? Sean was joined by Jonathan Beaumont, rail historian and writer to discuss...

If you're gonna be in the Navy it might as well be on the deck of a carrier during the storm of the century and if you're gonna be a member of the NMRA, it might as well be as the Conformance and Standards Chairman. Our next guest is Ex-Navy and the now serving the NMRA with the same commitment and enthusiasm as he did when firing jets off the deck of a carrier. But after trying to explain T-Trak to the Evel Overlord he'd rather be tied up in the Port of Memphis, Tennessee. We first met Andy on AML's Wednesday night Patreon chats and after finding out from Gordie the NMRA prez he's running the Conformance and Standards department for the NMRA, it seemed only natural to have him stop by the ‘ole AML Studios for a more in-depth investigation of this model railroader. From filling the basement of his parents home with plywood to helping out with the Big Bend Model Railroad Association, Andy wears a lot of different hats and they all seem to fit just fine.

When it comes to mammoth, legendary train journeys, the Trans-Siberian Railway is up there. Coming in at 9,289 kilometers, simply put, it's the longest railway line in the world. Starting in Moscow, it chugs east to its terminus, Vladivostok, but has another interchange where it then forks south to Mongolia and continues to Beijing, ultimately linking two of the world's great cities. So, nearly 180 episodes in to Talk Travel Asia, we're going to finally talk about this epic journey, what's entailed and hopefully give you enough background to either inspire or give you the idea that this journey is not for you. All aboard - here we go!

We're joined by friend of the show Gareth Dennis (@garethdennis) to discuss newly unveiled plans to close every ticket counter at every train station in England. Nothing else is going to be improved, of course, but we've envisioned some potential cost-cutting efficiencies: turning station guides into large human-sized braille dots, cutting the civil service down to just one guy that everyone gets mad at, and much more.

Modeling the New Haven Railroad in the mid-1950s can be an exciting and historically accurate project. The New Haven Railroad, officially known as the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad (NYNH&H), was a prominent railroad company that served the New England region of the United States during that era. Our next guest is recreating as much of the New Haven Railroad as possible on three levels, with a track plan scaled down from the prototype, while enjoying the process and letting his creativity fill in the blanks. For Bill Chapin modeling the New Haven Railroad in the mid-1950s allows him to recreate a fascinating era in railroading history and bring it to life for the rest of us to enjoy!!
