An argument (and podcast) for reviving passenger rail in Colorado ski country

An argument (and podcast) for reviving passenger rail in Colorado ski country A high-speed rail fantasy (2013 by graphic artist Alfred Twu). In doing some research for my appearance on Forrest Whitman’s On The Rail’s podcast on KHEN 106.9 FM radio in Salida, Colorado, I realized that I first started seriously writing about passenger rail service into the Colorado mountains back in the mid-aughts but that my true connection to trains, mountains, skiing and water runs much deeper.

Safety-Critical HMIs - Railway Age

RAILWAY AGE, MARCH 2021 ISSUE (expanded version): Exploring train control system Human Machine Interface requirements. Requirements for safety-relevant Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) for train operators are becoming more common around the world. The evolution toward safety-relevant HMIs for train control is already well under way in Europe and Asia, most notably as part of the widespread adoption of the European Train Control System (ETCS), with more than 50,000 miles of the worldwide rail network equipped or contracted to be equipped with ETCS (8). While HMI safety requirements have not yet become widespread in North American rail applications, the anticipated re-emergence of HMI safety requirements could soon be an example of history repeating itself.
