Rail Partners is a trade body that was set up to promote and focus on the interests of the private sector train operators, both passenger and freight, on the railway. But it has become a casualty of the Labour government's approach to railways and the increasing drive towards nationalisation of operators. Rail Partners announced recently that from March 2025 they will wind up their operations. They have been quite fierce critics of the approach being adopted that instead of combining the best of both worlds, public and private, seems rather ideologically wedded to one approach - a state-owned railway. Richard speaks to CEO Andy Bagnall in this revealing interview, and it's fair to say that whilst he was measured and courteous, he did not hold back.

Oral Arguments for the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Assoc.of Sheet Metal Workers, etc. v. K.C. Southern Railway
Manassas is a double album by the group Manassas, a blues-rock band led by Stephen Stills. Recorded towards the end of 1971 the album explored several musical styles including rock, latin, country and bluegrass. Released in 1972, it was a critical comeback for Stills, being certified Gold a month after being released and peaking at number 4 on the US album charts.Stills, a Civil War enthusiast, flew the then unnamed band to Virginia, at one point visting Manassas which lies close to where the Confederacy had claimed its first major victory at the Battle of Bull Run. The group were photographed at various locations around the city by photographer Ira H. Wexler, choosing a photograph of them standing on the north end of the then-Southern Railway depot for the album cover. Above them is the Manassas railway sign which inspiored the name for both the band and the album. The photograph is in fact a wide-angle shot, the Rock/rail enthusiasts (I'm sure they exist!) will be interested to know that Manassas station can also be seen in the music video for the 1987 Steve Winwood song Back in the High Life Again.As well as Stephen Stills, the group's personnel included Chris Hillman (the original bassist of the Byrds), steel guitar player Al Perkins and fiddler Byron Berline, both of whom had played with Hillman in the Flying Burrito Brothers, keyboardist Paul Harris; Blues Image founder Joe Lala and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young alumnus Calvin 'Fuzzy' Samuels and Dallas Taylor on bass and drums.In January 1972, the band flew to Stills' house in London to finish recording and mixing the album and to rehearse for an upcoming tour. This led to Rolling Stone Bill Wyman playing bass on and co-writing the song 'The Love Gangster'. According to Dallas Taylor, Wyman was prepared to leave the Stones for Manassas but was never asked!The album was included in the 2005 book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.This is Episode 22 of Season 3 (and one of over 100 other episodes). I would like to say a huge thank you to the overwhelming number of listeners and followers over the past two years as the Low Noise podcast continues to evolve in its own inimitable way. I truly appreciate all your interest and support.I hope you enjoy this episode.Mathew WoodallThe introduction to this episode features an excerpt from 'Ma' from the album 'Asimov' by Inafer Era.

You've probably have heard of model railroaders that go on to become railroaders, but how about a railroader who starts their model railroading journey after hiring on to the railroad? That's the story of Dustin Whitten, a long time employee of Norfolk Southern who despite growing up near Southern Railway, has fallen for the Norfolk & Western. Dustin shares the lessons learned through 4 different layout builds and a run at freelance that led him to the N&W.

The year 1985 would find the band R.E.M. in transition between college band success and the mainstream powerhouse they were to become in future years. The quartet of Michael Stipe on vocals, Mike Mills on bass and vocals, Peter Buck on guitar, and Bill Berry on percussion and backing vocals were moving towards a greater variety of instrumentation and a bit more experimentation with their third studio album, Fables of the Reconstruction.The album actually has two names, as "Fables of the Reconstruction" was the name if you held the cassette or album with one side up, and if you flipped it over the name appeared as "Reconstruction of the Fables." The suggestion of the name "Reconstruction" came from Michael Stipes' father who was a carpenter. It is also a loaded term in the American South from which the Athens, Georgia band hails — “Reconstruction” is the period of time immediately following the American Civil War when the South was being brought back into the Union. The songs on the album have a darker sound than earlier works, and the lyrics draw from Southern Gothic works. This was the first album recorded outside the U.S., as the band traveled to London to work at Livingston Studios with producer Joe Boyd.While the singles from the album would not be considered hits in the United States, the album reached number 28 on the US Billboard 200 chart, and number 35 on the UK Albums Chart. It would feature two singles, “Driver 8' and“Can't Get There from Here,” which would become well known over time.Rob brings us this transitional album for today's podcastDriver 8The second single released from the album refers to the Southern Crescent train line. It ran under the Southern Railway until 1979 when Amtrak bought them out, and continues as the Amtrak Crescent today. “And the train conductor says take a break, Driver 8.”Green Grow the RushesThis deeper cut was written as a pact between Michael Stipe and Natalie Merchant of 10,000 Maniacs, relating to the poor treatment of indigenous peoples and migrant workers. “Green grow the rushes, go. The compass points the workers home.”Maps and LegendsInspired by preacher and Southern folk artist Howard Finster, this song uses the reading of a map as a metaphor for reading a person. Like the map reveals stories in little symbols on it, people are the accumulation of their experiences and stories.Can't Get There from HereThis song was the lead single from the album and peaked at number 10 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart - meaning it peaked at about 110 in US popularity. It is the first R.E.M. song to have a horn section. You can sense the Soul inspiration in it. The lyrics about “Philomath” refer to an unincorporated community just outside of Athens, Georgia. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Weird Science by Oingo Boingo (from the motion picture “Weird Science”)Two geeky high school students create the perfect woman in this sci-fi comedy partly based on Frankenstein, and largely based on the 1951 comic “Made of the Future” by Al Feldstein. STAFF PICKS:Drive by The Cars Lynch brings us a version of the Cars single from the 1985 Live Aid concert. Bassist Benjamin Orr takes on the lead vocal duties for this ballad which was written by frequent front man Ric Ocasek. The studio version appeared on their 1984 album Heartbeat City, and became one of the bands biggest hits.Take On Me by a-haBruce features the first US hit by a Norwegian band. While a-ha released the song twice before without it becoming a hit, the third release with its video combining pencil sketch animation and live performance would propel it to the number 1 slot in the U.S. Its 2 1/2 octave-spanning chorus makes it one of the hardest songs to sing.Summertime Girls by Y & T Wayne's staff pick is a hair band rocker, the first and only hit by Y&T. It went to number 55 on the Billboard Hot 100, but was played frequently on the television series “Baywatch.” The Band Y&T was originally known as "Yesterday & Today," and although they don't have many hits they have sold over 4 million albums worldwide, and were an inspiration for Lars Ulrich of Metallica to become a musician.Dancing in the Street by David Bowie and Mick Jagger Rob closes out the staff picks with a cover originally recorded by Martha and the Vandellas in 1964 (but we all agreed that the Van Halen cover is the best there is).Jagger and Bowie's version made it to number 7 on the US chart and number 1 on the UK chart. This collaboration was their contribution to the Live Aid charity movement.

Co. of Philadelphia v. Gold Issue Mining & Milling Co. (243 U.S. 93). Justice Barrett filed a dissenting opinion.

Mallory v. Norfolk Southern Railway Co. | 11/08/22 | Docket #: 21-1168
''Nearly 80 years removed from International Shoe, it seems corporations continue to receive special jurisdictional protections in the name of the Constitution. Less clear is why." Ford Motor Co. v. Montana Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 141 S. Ct. 1017, 1038 (2021) (Gorsuch J., concurring). This petition seeks resolution of an issue that has divided courts around the country. More than a dozen state supreme courts and every federal court of appeals have weighed in on the question with conflicting results. An unbroken line of this Court's cases holds that a court may exercise personal jurisdiction with a party's consent. Corporations enforce that precedent to the letter in their contracts of adhesion, requiring flesh and blood consumers to litigate disputes with businesses in often-distant tribunals. E.g., Carnival Cruise Lines, Inc. v. Shute, 499 U.S. 585 (1991). Turnabout should be fair play (and is, incidentally, consistent with substantial justice). Consistent with that rule, states have enacted laws requiring corporations operating within their boundaries to consent to personal jurisdiction when they register to do business in those states. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court found such a statute unconstitutional under this Court's decision in International Shoe v. Washington, 326 U.S. 310 (1945), and its progeny. That erroneous result is but the latest decision among dozens that are squarely divided on the question presented: Whether the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment prohibits a state from requiring a corporation to consent to personal jurisdiction to do business in the state. https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/21-1168.html
8- 25. JESSE JAMES BAILEY- lawman extraordinaire who served as sheriff of two different North Carolina Countries in the 1920s. Former Detective for Southern Railway, a celebrated humorist and storyteller, and a feared moonshine still wrecker. Bailey worked in several capacities for the railroad for 52 years until his retirement at age 70 in 1958. He took two leaves of absence of two years each in 1920 and 1928 when he was elected sheriff first of Madison and then Buncombe County, NC. The only lawman in the state to serve as sheriff in two counties. Bailey was born near Bailey's Bend on the French Broad River in Madison County. He was a farm boy until his telegrapher's job at Bailey Station in the Knoxville, Tenn., division of Southern Railway in 1906. At the age of 8, he decided he would be a lawman and did. https://anchor.fm/felonfile/episodes/The-sheriff-called-Jessie-James-8-25-e1p7kfk --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/felonfile/message

Meridian is the seventh largest city in the in Mississippi, with a population of over 40,000 people. Established in 1860, at the junction of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad and Southern Railway of Mississippi, Meridian built an economy based on the railways and goods transported on them, and it became a strategic trading center. But while the city of Meridian has much history, it also holds the graves of some of it most unknown history, the graves of the King and Queen of the Gypsies.[FOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA & MORE]TWITTER: www.twitter.com/SouthernOddPodINSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/SouthernOddPodJARED'S TWITTER: www.twitter.com/jared_ordisJARED'S INSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/jared.ordis[ADDITONAL INFORMATION]Questions or Business Inquiry, Email Us @ ordisstudios@gmail.comResearched was used for this episode of Southern Oddities, and we couldn't have made it possible without the journalism and dedication from these awesome sources of information: Roadside America [Story 12427] Clarion Ledger [Hundreds visit her gravesite each year Queen gypsies Mississippi royalty] The Southern Rambler [graves of the king and queen of the gypsies] Meridian Star [queen kelly mitchell a slice of meridians history] Wikipedia [Meridian, Mississippi] Atlas Obscura [grave of the gypsy queen] Wikipedia [Romani People]"Southern Oddities" is created & produced by Jared Ordis, an Ordis Studios production.

Oral Arguments for the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Drummond Coal Sales, Inc. v. Norfolk Southern Railway Co.
It’s not every song that has an historical marker devoted to it beside the highway. But then it’s not every song that has the privilege of being composed by the great W.C. Handy. It’s hard to imagine what the early days of jazz would have been like without the songs of William Christopher Handy. “Memphis Blues” and “Beale Street Blues,” “Careless Love” and, of course, the immortal “St. Louis Blues.” The Flood does a lot of those songs, and lately we’ve been drawn to one of Handy’s earliest compositions. In 1912 he wrote “Yellow Dog Blues,” which ends with the line “Your easy rider’s gone where the Southern cross the Yellow Dog.” Those are railroad references about the crossing of the Southern Railway and the local Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad, known thereabouts as The Yellow Dog. And to this day, down in Sunflower County, Mississippi, in the town of Moorhead, a bronze plate stands at the very spot memorialized in that classic blues line. So, here’s our take on the tune from last night’s session, with Doug and Veezy burning it up on the solos atop Danny Gillum’s rocking bass line.
At the height of World War Two, the Southern Railway introduced its first pacific tender locos, the Merchant Navy Class.Bulleid was always seeking to push the envelope with locomotive development, and the 3-cylinder Merchant Navy was packed full of features and innovations to enable more power, different maintenance regimes, and to lessen the effect the locos had on the permanent way.The locomotives were extremely powerful and capable of incredible performances, but drew criticism for several issues, notably fires which broke out within the air-smoothed casing around the boiler, a tendency for high coal and water consumption, and the restricted visibility from the casing.Between 1956 and 1960, British Railways extensively rebuilt all 30 members of the class, removing the distinctive casing, and replacing the Bulleid chain-driven valve gear with three sets of independent Walschaerts.11 rebuilt Merchant Navies still exist today. 35011 ‘General Steam Navigation’ is one of the preserved members, but the owning group has a rather different plan to the other members of the class. ‘Number 11’ is going to have the rebuilding reversed, and be returned to its as-built condition.

"G" is for Gaffney (Cherokee County; 2020 population 12,303). Incorporated in 1875, the city of Gaffney was named for the Irish immigrant Michael Gaffney. He came to the area around 1804, bought land, and constructed a house, barns, and a store and tavern. The property was known as Gaffney’s Cross Roads or Gaffney’s Old Field. In the early 1870s, the arrival of the Atlanta and Charlotte Railroad (later the Southern Railway) resulted in considerable growth. Between 1882 and 1907, seven textile mills provided employment opportunities for hundreds of new residents. In 1896, the town’s leaders along with those from Limestone Springs and Blacksburg organized a successful effort to create a new county. Endorsed by the governor, in 1897 the General Assembly created Cherokee County with Gaffney named as the county seat.
Good morning, RVA! It’s 76 °F, and blah, blah, blah, hot and humid today. We may see some rain late tonight and into early tomorrow morning, which would be nice. This headline from the Richmond Times-Dispatch’s John Boyer catches the mood: “Richmond hasn’t seen 20 straight days of highs in the 90s since ‘Waterworld’ was in theaters.”Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 999↘️ new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealth and 30↗️ new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 100↗️ new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 33, Henrico: 30, and Richmond: 37). Since this pandemic began, 285 people have died in the Richmond region. I’ve seen some folks talking about the recent federal change in hospitalization reporting requirements—requirements that bypass the CDC and have hospitals sending data straight to the Department of Health and Human Services. This post on the COVID Tracking Project’s blog is the best explanation of what’s happened, how that’s impacted the public availability of coronavirus data, and what that means for how we understand what’s going on with everything. Let me quote the important part: “it is not possible that any change in federal reporting requirements for hospitals has a causative role in the change in the direction of COVID-19 case counts at the state or national level.” So that’s reassuring! But it’s not all good news as the change in requirements has destabilized some of processes used to report hospitalization data and the underlying data itself. Again, to quote from the post: “These problems mean that our hospitalization data—a crucial metric of the COVID-19 pandemic—is, for now, unreliable, and likely an undercount.” Yikes.Yesterday, I found myself wondering about GRTC’s ridership numbers now that we’re several months into both a pandemic and a region-wide experiment with zero fares. The best place to get this data is from the most recent GRTC board meeting packet, and you can download July’s right here(PDF). Friends, you will not be disappointed with this PDF—it’s filled with all kinds of interesting information. As for ridership, though, compared to last June, GRTC has seen about a 23% drop. This sounds like a lot, but keep two things in mind: 1) Other cities across the country have shed a devastating number of riders—the CTA in Chicago, for example, saw a 72% drop in bus ridership back in April (PDF); and 2) A big chunk of the lost ridership in Richmond can be attributed to the Pulse. Compared to last year at this time, Pulse ridership is down 44% (74,970) while local service (all the other buses that are not express buses) have only seen an 11% drop (58,074). What This All Means™, I think, is that folks who ride the bus in Richmond are both filling essential, front-line jobs that are impossible to do in a work-form-home situation and that Richmond’s bus riders don’t have a ton of other easy transportation options. Keep that in mind when we start talking about “bringing folks back to public transportation,” because a lot of people never had the option to leave.Also in this PDF, check out page 20 for a really fascinating choose-two situation that regional elected officials must navigate next year to avoid a projected GRTC budget deficit. Leaders must choose (at least) two of the following to balance GRTC’s upcoming budget: 1) Get the region to pay for some of the more regionally-focused routes through the newly-created Central Virginia Transportation Authority—an authority which should kick off meeting soon and will generate an as-yet-unknown (at least to me) amount of money; 2) Restore some of the cash that both Richmond and Henrico cut from their GRTC allocations last year as they anticipated that sweet, sweet CVTA money; 3) Reinstate fares; or 4) cut existing bus service. I know I keep saying this about all kinds of issues, but every candidate for mayor and City Council should be asked how they will handle this choose-two. #4 is unacceptable, should be disqualifying, and candidates need to know that.Finally, starting on page 23 there’s a really interesting couple of slides about the need for some sort of downtown bus transfer center. Personally, I think GRTC’s preferred site on the block bounded by 9th, Leigh, 8th, and Clay is too far from the Pulse Stations at Broad and 9th, and I would prefer a modern transit mall instead of a big urban bus barn thing. But! I cannot underline, highlight, and high-five this sentence more: “[The] Downtown Transfer Center needs a City of Richmond champion and inclusion in Richmond planning process.” Yes! The City needs transportation staff who live, breath, lead on this stuff and deeply integrate it into every nook and cranny of civic decision-making. Think back to the recent Richmond 300-related Coliseum Framework Plan survey I had y’all fill out. It barely even mentioned public transit! This in a plan to reshape the area of town with literally the most public transit in the entire Central Virginia region! One could say that Richmond desperately needs a Department of Transportation. One would be right!Ali Rockett at the RTD has a lengthy update on the Richmond Police Department’s use-of-force report. RPD updated the report on the 17th to include 74 new incidents where officers used force, and almost all of those involved the recent protests. In the same piece, Rockett also has a good recap of this week’s Public Safety committee meeting where the resolution asking RPD to stop using chemical weapons got pushed back until September.Now that the Atlantic Coast Pipeline is off the table, what happens to all of the land Dominion and Duke Energies acquired to build it? This is a good question, and Sarah Vogelsong at the Virginia Mercury has the answer. Turns out, it’s super complicated and will probably involve a bunch of lawyers.RVAHub’s Richard Hayes has this great then-and-now post featuring the Southern Railway passenger station that sits right off the Manchester side of the 14th Street Bridge. Check out the one picture featuring pedestrians, cars, electric trolleys, and trains—that’s serious multimodal!This morning’s longreadMarmalade: A Very British ObsessionWarning! This is a really charming piece about marmalade!The dark wood-panelled dining room is quiet, heavy with concentration. Around the room, six pairs of judges sit at tables crowded with glass jars. As the light catches the jars they glow amber, saffron, primrose. The only real sounds are the murmurs as the pairs of judges consult, and the regular pop! of sterilized jars as they open. Occasionally, there is the tap of a pen against glass, signifying that a gold medal has been awarded, followed by quiet applause or cheers depending on how sugar-drunk the judges are. This is the judging room of the World’s Original Marmalade Awards, an annual event in Penrith, England, in the English Lake District.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.
A British railway ticket office worker has died from Covid-19 after being spat on while she was working at Victoria station in central London.Belly Mujinga, 47, was working with a colleague when a member of the public assaulted them, spat and coughed over them and said he had the novel coronavirus, said her union, the Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA), in a statement Tuesday.Mujinga, who had an underlying health condition, was working for Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) on the station concourse at the time of the incident on March 22.British Transport Police said in a statement to CNN that an investigation into the incident had been launched."Belly and her colleague begged to be let to work from inside the building with a protective barrier between them and the public for the rest of that day," TSSA said in its statement."Management said they needed people working outside and sent them back out onto the concourse for the rest of their shift."Both women went back outside and completed their shift, added the union, but they had no personal protective equipment.Mujinga had underlying respiratory problems for which she had had an operation, regular hospital appointments and had previously needed to take time off work, according to TSSA.The union says GTR knew about her condition and, even after the incident, only stood Mujinga down after her doctor called her work around March 25.Manuel Cortes, TSSA general secretary, accused GTR of not taking Mujinga's assault "seriously enough" and criticized the company."As a vulnerable person in the 'at risk' category and her condition known to her employer, there are questions about why GTR didn't stand her down from front line duties early on in this pandemic," Cortes said in the TSSA statement. "There are serious questions about her death, it wasn't inevitable."GTR is investigating the accusations, it said in a statement to CNN on Tuesday, adding it takes the allegations "extremely seriously.""The safety of our customers and staff, who are key workers themselves, continues to be front of mind at all times and we follow the latest Government advice," Angie Doll, managing director at Southern Railway and Gatwick Express, said in the statement."We are devastated that our dedicated colleague Belly has passed away and our deepest sympathies are with her family, with whom we have been in touch through this very difficult time," she also said.Both Mujinga and her colleague fell ill from Covid-19 within days of the assault, according to TSSA.On April 2 -- just 11 days after the incident -- Mujinga was taken to Barnet Hospital, north London, in an ambulance and put on a ventilator."Belly died on 5 April, 14 days after she was assaulted at Victoria station," TSSA said.She leaves behind an 11-year-old daughter and a husband, who last saw her when she was taken away by ambulance, the union added."We are shocked and devastated at Belly's death," Cortes said in the TSSA statement. The union said it is taking legal advice on the situation and supporting Mujinga's family and colleagues.It also reported the incident to the Railways Inspectorate, the safety arm of the Office for Road and Rail (ORR).An ORR spokesperson told CNN the office is investigating the incident.TSSA revealed Mujinga's story as the British Government urged some people to return to work if they are not able do so from home, easing some of the restrictions it had put in place to stop the spread of Covid-19.The union says there is not enough guidance or protection for workers on the front line, such as Mujinga."Rather than talking about the easing the lockdown, the government must first ensure that the right precautions and protections have been taken so that more lives are not lost," Cortes said."Our rail industry needs to have a very serious look at what tasks are deemed 'essential' and must put protections in place for all our members and our passengers."The TSSA also called on the government t...
The holidays will hit their peak this week and families throughout the world will celebrate the joys of giving and receiving gifts. Before new toys overwhelm their toybox, it’s also a good time for children to move on from toys that no longer hold their interest. Parents can encourage this by placing a Santa sack under your Christmas tree. On Christmas eve, children are tasked with finding old toys that are still in good condition and putting in the sack for Santa to take. Sometimes he even leaves a note for kiddos, telling them the toys will be donated to children in need. It’s an activity that encourages gratitude and thoughtfulness during a busy season. Figured out what you’re planning to do after Christmas? Ring in the new year with a murder mystery on the St. Louis Iron Mountain and Southern Railway with dinner and drinks. Or are you looking for a more traditional New Year’s Eve? Several restaurants and hangouts around town will have festivities, including live music and giveaways

In 1973, while he was a member of Cincinnati City Council, Jerry Springer recorded this 45 single, advocating to preserve the Cincinnati Union Terminal. The terminal was built in 1933, but train service to the terminal ended in 1973. Nevertheless, Union Terminal was the model for the Justice League's Hall of Justice in the 1970s Hanna-Barbera cartoon "Super Friends." The City Council voted the terminal a historic landmark, but Southern Railway tore down the concourse in 1974.Springer recorded these two tracks "Save the Terminal" and "Faded Photos (Just Won't Do)." "Save the Terminal" was written by S. Flaharty, T. West, and J. Eliot. "Faded Photos (Just Won't Do)" was written by S. O'Shea and S. Flaharty.Springer resigned in 1974, after admitting to hiring a prostitute, but was later re-elected. Eventually, he moved into journalist, and abandoned his political career.
