Do you remember the messenger company for whom you rode? Schwinn messenger bikes were tanks, and with a Xerox box in the basket, SF hills sucked. And if your chain broke you wouldn't have any brakes. Best job in the world.

SEPTA general manager Scott Sauer long claimed that the agency's service cuts were necessary in order to maintain a balanced budget.

Perhaps some on SEPTA's board secretly support the lawsuit forcing an end to its casually evil "strategy". SEPTA's executive leadership appears to be barkingly inept, tone-deaf, and unconcerned. The Cuomo of transit systems.

This seems risky... "Russia represented almost 60-65% of the imported side frames and bolsters applied to North American railcars prior to the war."

Steel Castings, Then and Now - Railway Age Steel castings (side frames, bolsters, and couplers) are found everywhere on freight railcars and locomotives, and their supply is critical to the ongoing operations of the North American Rail industry. Combined, in a normal build year of 50,000 cars, they represent a $500 million market and constitute 13% of the cost of a new freight railcar. A failed casting, whether it’s a broken side frame or knuckle, wreaks havoc for rail operations. Train separations, and worse, derailments, can be catastrophic. Yet we often overlook the strategic importance of these products.
