  1. Man shot and killed at charging station

    We had this happen in Bakersfield, Ca at an EA in a Target parking lot. It’s in a nice part of town. I had read the attacker chose the victim because he figured he had money because he drove an electric car. Pretty sad how his wife found out...

  3. Railroad Profit-Making Strategy Comes at a Cost (A looming strike and struggles with a proposed merger)

    I think Sunday it gets delayed before it can begin. At least for 60 more days.

  4. Railroad Profit-Making Strategy Comes at a Cost (A looming strike and struggles with a proposed merger)

    Yes. They always do. Obama had to in 2011. Although they didn’t beforehand in 1992 and there was a 2 day strike, that’s the 5%. They did pass law ending the strike (more lockout) on the 2nd day.

  5. Railroad Profit-Making Strategy Comes at a Cost (A looming strike and struggles with a proposed merger)

    I say a 5% chance it actually happens. The government will intervene.

    A good read https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2022/7/14/2110113/-A-major-strike-may-be-coming-and-I-promise-you-no-one-is-ready-for-it-if-it-does

  7. Train ride to SoCal

    It does but not by name. When you here about empty shelves at the stores and supply chain issues with rising prices, the railroad has skin in that game. Pretty much anything you can think of travels by rail in part.

  8. Train ride to SoCal

    It’s self inflicted by the railroads in my opinion. I’m biased though.

  9. Train ride to SoCal

    If your truck is going to NorCal by BNSF, it actually travels on UP rail between Mojave and Bakersfield. And it’s the slowest leg to Richmond.

  10. Train ride to SoCal

    It doesn’t matter who it’s shipped by right now. It’s happening to all of the Big 4 railroads. The Safety Transportation Board just had a hearing with them to which they all got scolded. Plus the UP just got ordered to prioritize grain to California for feed.

  11. Train ride to SoCal

    Update on rail delays. Short story… expect longer delays. https://www.bnsf.com/news-media/customer-notifications/notification.page?notId=limited-embargo-of-certain-shipments-destined-for-california

  12. Train ride to SoCal

    Not after couple of thousand times first hand ?

  13. Train ride to SoCal

    Keep watching and you’ll see me in about 45 min.

  14. Train ride to SoCal

    Yep. That was the end of the road for that train so now it will be switched to another train that goes to a whales vagina.

  15. Train ride to SoCal

    Most of the Lightnings, unlike the MMEs, seem to be on trains that run through Barstow without needing to be switched into new trains. Looks like the get put into new trains in Clovis. Which could lessen delay.

  16. Train ride to SoCal

    NorCal trains unload in Richmond and SoCal trains unload in SD. No option for anywhere else I’m afraid. It is what it is. Barstow is the big unknown. Could be there for a day or a month. Hit me up after this holiday weekend to see if it’s even switched into another train if you’d like.

  17. Train ride to SoCal

    Getting switched out and put in a new train.

  18. Train ride to SoCal

    I know, when my MME hit Barstow I went and looked at it in the railcar. Took a couple of pics. I would of took it right then if possible.

  19. Train ride to SoCal

    My MME made it to Cali in 2 days, Barstow in 2 1/2. Barstow is where a big delay can happen. A couple of days to a few weeks. Luck of the draw getting through Barstow.
