    After World War 2, most of mainland Europe was in ruins, so it was easier for them to sweep aside the rubble and begin building dedicated high-speed railways. In the UK, our railway was much less bombed so it was not sensible to bring in a wrecking ball and start all over again, leaving us with a legacy Victorian network built when train speeds were much slower allowing us to be able to build track that wove its way in and out of cities. The UK is also much more densely populated so comparing us with France is not really a fair comparison. However, I fully agree that cancelling HS2's northern section was a massive betrayal. One of the main reasons why I won't be voting Conservative in the upcoming election!

    How can you build a new supposedly high speed rail system and end up with a *worse* system than the Swedish HSR system, which consists of running faster trains on old lines shared with freight and local services with minimal upgrades. At least X2000 runs at 200 km/h and many of the local services use trains technically capable of 200 or close to as well.

    Being from the US, I am so impressed by how much emphasis The Netherlands places on transportation, and they are very organized about it as well. I wish we had a system like that here, but we only have it in big cities, and for long distances that from my own experience are slow, grueling rides. Most of Europe is light years ahead of US when it comes to public transportation.

    I think the reason why there hasn't been many updates about the bombardier project is because of the fact that the different governments over the years have sabotaged trafikverkets budget or should I say more or less has prioritized car infrastructure or given more money to the military and not the money needed for repairing the railway. Which is why swedish railways are in bad condition.

    $170 USD one way from Vancouver to Portland seems okay, though not super competitive with flying. Governments should subsidize it to make it more competitive. I would also consider just placing the HSR station in surrey rather than Vancouver, since Surrey has good connectivity to the rest of Vancouver metro via the skytrain network.

    Canadian railways still use a lot of wooden ties. After a derailment with concrete ties they usually have to be replaced. Depending on the severity, wooden ties can be delayed in replacement. Wooden ties don't last as long otherwise, but maintenance is not as big a task these days. Interesting to see how other countries do it. I liked the economics on twinning.

    The SA3 coupler was not designed by the Soviets; rather, the original design was created by one John Willison, a locksmith from Derby, England in 1912. The design was sold to Knorr Bremse, who patented it in 1914 in Europe and in 1916 in the USA. The Soviets decided to adopt it in the early 1930's when they lost patience waiting for the UIC to decide on a replacement automatic coupler for European railways. They unilaterally chose the Willison coupler, then reworked and adapted it to URSS conditions, creating the SA3.

    Those wagons look simular to one of the styles used here in the US for Iron ore transport. These cars are 24ft long, and operated under numerous railroads, most notably the DM&IR, BN, CNW, and CN, and are commonly called "Minnesota Ore Cars" (don't know why). Many cars are preserved, or in operation today, with new batches being made each year. The other style is a short, gondola (20-30ft), and said style has been gone for a while. Modern examples are the Rapid Discharge Hoppers, which are 43ft long and used for a variety of other ore/rock transports(except for the CN example, CN still utilizes the 24ft Minnasota Ore Car)

      "Minnesota" to distinguish them from the "Michigan" cars which were narrower and slightly lower. Or also from the "Bessemer" cars used by B&LE which were like the Minnesota cars but were fitted with ordinary draft gear (and thus were a couple of feet longer because they did not need to be squeezed onto an ore dock), contrary to the MI and MN cars which special draft gear.

You could fake a Minnesota car out of it by cutting the extensions and then finding a way of shortening the couplers. Unfortunately, nobody else makes either a MI or MN car. You could try your hand at designing one for 3D printing.
