Purchasing an automobile is one of the most significant decisions you will ever make. Every driver has different priorities, whether it is related to the safety features or the appearance of the vehicle. We at Tazweed are well aware that a car buyer's preferences may differ from another's. But, you may find that choosing between an SUV and a hatchback is simpler if you are aware of their differences. This article is intended for those who are somewhat perplexed by the distinctions between car body designs.

I think canon criminally underuses the fact that Greaseball’s replica basis (midcentury carbody locos) are almost incapable of going backwards due to lack of visibility and most of the Nationals aren’t any better since most of them would have another power car on the end of the train irl. Any kind of switcher would clean house in a backwards race against that field and it’s a convenient way to have Rusty win legitimately.

whenever I see midcentury carbody locomotives I think about what a pain they are to work with vs hood units. Sure they’re pretty and iconic but yeesh those tiny vertical ladders in and that awful visibility.

mommy issues

mother is a pale clouded glass sitting on a windowsill sunheated and spoilt in my toddler hands, so thirsty i never noticed all the mold. until i vomited it  through my fingers, all over my winnie the pooh blanket.

i know that isnt true. i know there was something there.  a warmth, a safety. distant, but there. i just dont  remember it. my mind was concise and desperate in the art of forgetting. a wild animal avoiding a  predator. and so now a gentle, empty valley lies in my recollections, roiling with soft grass and foliage. 

the sinkholes are starting to become more common.  i, myself, am a sinkhole, i think. or at least sinking.  cresting the waves and dipping under them,  heavy like a rock, silent. most children don't fight when they drown. one second they're there, the next,  an absence. a watery grave. i long not to make a fuss. i long to welcome the siren song pulling me down. 

i hold onto the things from my childhood because that's a much safer way to remember. the texture and color and weight are familiar, more familiar than my fathers face, more familiar than my own. they comfort me, reaching threadbare hands through time.  something that cannot think cannot disappoint you. 

my mother has always been a lightning storm.  pablo neruda's desert, "shivering in its solitudes." my solitude, my chubby fist in her fingers, gripped so tight it felt like a breaking. i always knew she was more fragile than me, less concrete. wispwaif.  my whole life was a game of chicken,  begging for my needs without having needs,  without taking up space, without taking her space.  screaming for help without making a single sound. 

she never once helped me across the street.  i crossed like a voyage, praying the headlights were moths leading me home. praying theyd stop for me. strangers stared at me across pavement.  shooed me away like a stray dog. sometimes  i wish they’d crawled out of their metal framework carbodies and ask me to come home with them, take me to the pound.

i ate in secretive bursts, my stomach a monster,  howling in its need. the wrapper sounds striking base fear in my heart, making me freeze, rabbitlike. twitchy.  my own home is still a battleground of her voice. i will always question if my own hunger is worth obeying. 

i never knew who i would become, never had any thoughts about what would happen next. only stuffing my face into the ground like an ostrich and waiting for the storm to stop. it only evolved, darker and electricity charged. im left thinking, staring, confused by a world i never expected to survive.  it’s angrier than i expected, and hungrier. im carving out my place in it with my nails and teeth.

The links should work correctly now (I hope).

If they don't, here's some new ones

ALSO, just because, here's an image from the gearedsteam.com page of images of Shays

The New York Central rostered Shays until at least the 1940s, and most or all of them had fully enclosed cabs/shrouds/carbodies. Some of them worked on the West Side Line in New York City (a freight line that ran down the middle of the street), and were transferred to other parts of the railroad when that line was electrified.

I wonder what the next carbody trend will be? Aside from adding like 30 goddamn angles to every fender.

crossovers used to be cool until they became so predominate and now it’s just like the fortnitetification of media. yay
