When trains meet. Two trains collide in Indonesia's West Java province, killing at least four people. Two trains have collided on Indonesia's main island of Java, causing carriages to buckle and overturn killing at least four people. |

Anyone on here fluent in Windows 3.11? Windows 3.11 trundles on as job site pleads for 'driver updates' on German trains |

This article is not about trains but McLaren F1 supercars. They need a DOS system for maintenance: https://www.theverge.com/2016/5/3/11576032/mclaren-f1-compaq-laptop-maintenance |

I was! I've still got all the (printed) books in my workroom, and probably the complete installation files om 3 1/2" disks.I still have the 2 books that came with 3.11 in my library, but I gave away the 2 complete box sets that I had (along with complete box sets of '95 and '98SE on floppies) to an avid young fellow down the road who also takes all the old hardware that I can't be bothered with anymore. Cheers. |

Court finds that derailment was completely avoidable if communications hadn't broken down. Australian Rail Track Corporation and NSW Trains plead guilty to duty breach after fatal Wallan derailment. Two government rail organisations have pleaded guilty to criminal charges after a deadly high-speed train derailment in Victoria. |

Not a new idea, the crossing at Sumburgh Airport has been in place since before 1975, which is when I first used it. |

And then there's Buochs Airport in Switzerland where Pilatus have their factory, although there have traffic lights for the aircraft & the road traffic. Grant Darwin NT |

A massive pile up. :-O 3 trains involved in collision, derailment in Pennsylvania. I expect that there will be more to come. |

There are strange habits when it comes to railways. Bristol man quits job to build railway departure boards wrote: Russell Pirie, a software engineer from Bradley Stoke, was inspired to make a homemade version of the station displays after becoming fascinated by them on his daily commute. |

The brew may not of noticed it, but many others did. Train goes up in flames while rolling through London, Ontario. It certainly lit up the night. Cheers. |
