Your latest installment in the occasional Trains News Wire feature offering links to online articles of interest:
— The New York Times takes a long look at the fight in Del Mar, Calif., over relocating the former Santa Fe Surf Line, and frames it as part of coastal erosion issues statewide. The link should allow non-subscribers access.
— While the article may be exaggerating a tad by calling the moment in question “one of the most famous scenes in movie history,” this story from Oregon’s Redmond Spokesman on a Buster Keaton film that blew up a bridge as a train crossed is still a good one. Readers may need to provide an email address for access.
— The advocacy group Transportation For America looks at the recent Federal Railroad Administration Long-Distance study (which is available here) and suggests it should have focused on projects that could be brought to fruition relatively quickly.
