👻🚂Locomotive graveyard. Lebanon’s ghost train stations stand frozen in time and choked by unchecked plant growth.
The first railway opened in 1895 under the Ottoman Empire. It ran from Beirut to Damascus. By the 1930s, Lebanon had joined the Orient Express network via the Taurus Express link through Homs.
After decades of decline and wartime damage, the final train service ran in 1990.

Whenever I see one of those huge cargo trains go by, it reminds me of the ginormeous economic machine called the European Union. And that I am a privileged citizen that is part of this amazing project of peace and prosperity.
Also: (Cargo) trains are freaking awesome. #cargo #train #is #freaking #awesome #hashtag
De l’ #amiante dans les rames du #train Clermont-Nevers-Paris mais "pas de risque sanitaire"
De l'amiante a été découvert dans plusieurs voitures Corail de la ligne #SNCF #Intercités entre #ClermontFerrand et Paris. Malgré l’absence de danger selon des mesures de l’air, la CGT Cheminots dénonce un manque d’information auprès de certains agents.

Russia has yet to deny responsibility for a drone strike on a Ukrainian passenger train, killing at least five people, and prompting accusations of terrorism from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Russia’s strikes may be becoming more accurate because of Starlink satellite systems. Read more from @CBSNews

Pendant de l'histoire, les rames capables d'absorber la demande n'ont jamais été livrées à temps (2023-2024), ne le seront pas en 2026. Et on aura un réseau saturé jusqu'en 2030-2032.
Il a fallu attendre 2019 pour que la logique de réduction du nombre de rames en stock soit arrêtée, au moment où ils ont réalisé que la demande explosait alors que les rames diminuaient.
