Nach sechs Jahren Forschung zieht das Bundesverkehrsministerium eine positive Bilanz zur Digitalen Automatischen Kupplung. Die Technologie soll den Schienengüterverkehr effizienter, sicherer und wettbewerbsfähiger machen.

Im Gegensatz zum Personenverkehr müssen Wagen wie zur Beginn des Schienentransports umständlich und personalintensiv mit der Hand gekuppelt werden. So dauert es jetzt Stunden, bis ein Zug gebildet ist.

Eine komplett sinnvolle Investition, aber wie werden die klammen Bahnen das stemmen können?

My work gifted me a plastic coffee mug, which I've been using on and off for my tea. The lid cracked yesterday and it sputtered nice warm tea on my shirt.

Replaced it with a thermos. Stainless steel, keeps the tea hot and my hands cool. It's a bit pricey, but I think it'll last a while.

I'm a big fan of Itchy Boots - already getting on the family's nerves relaying her adventures. Just a few days ago I spotted a video from Una Moto and was instantly hooked.

Eric's plan is to drive from the northernmost point of Alaska through the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia to the southernmost point of New Zealand. Right after getting his driver's license. He's got a very different vibe than Noraly, a quiet and modest, almost shy. Very relatable to me as a beginning rider. The first posts I've seen have spectacular and gorgeous views of the Canadian countryside and really cool trails.
