Next Stop, Sustainability! — How Automated Trains Are Transforming Transportation.
In an age of stressful commutes and road congestion, a transformative solution has emerged: fully automated train systems. Hawaii’s H-1 freeway, notorious for its traffic jams, has found relief in the form of the Skyline, the U.S.’s first fully automated elevated rail system, operational since June 30, 2023. This breakthrough innovation represents a global shift toward autonomous mass transit, exemplifying Hitachi’s expertise.
Automated trains offer enhanced safety, relying on algorithms and sensors for real-time monitoring, minimizing human error and accidents. Their eco-friendly impact is profound, emitting up to nine times less CO2 and particulate matter than road transport, contributing significantly to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, these trains drive smart city investments, integrating seamlessly into data-driven infrastructures, ensuring faster travel times and energy-efficient operations.
Toward Smarter Rail Mobility — The Hitachi Way
Hitachi Rail specializes in designing, building, and operating autonomous metro systems globally. One of its notable projects is the Cityringen metro in Copenhagen, which utilizes the advanced CBTC (Communication-Based Train Control) technology to enable automated train operations. This innovation has resulted in improved reliability, more frequent services, and shorter waiting times for passengers.
Smart rail imparts several benefits — passengers can enjoy a seamless experience, from Wi-Fi connectivity to enhanced accessibility, making journeys more comfortable and convenient. By collaborating with governments and stakeholders globally, Hitachi ensures a thorough assessment of feasibility, required infrastructure upgrades, and effective engagement with stakeholders.

My tv broke lads
#it’s been acting weird all week due to psychosomatic smart tv problems i can’t even begin to guess at and it’s finally shat itself#won’t turn on; no amount of troubleshooting is helping. and it’s not under warranty at all so no one at hitachi or the place i bought it#is likely to give a fuck#at least it picked a good time of year to break i guess. i can get a good sale price on a new one#it’s my mum’s old tv so it’s like 10 years old so i’m not really That mad#i think the last one also broke in november. right around the time our boiler also crapped up and the curtain rail broke and my granddad#dropped a cabinet on the kettle. WHY DOES EVERYTHING BREAK IN NOVEMBER#anyway if you need me i’m going to be trying to figure out what the smallest tv i can buy is#my old one is 33’’ and i honestly don’t want to go above 36’’ but every store is like ‘YOU NEED A TV THAT’S BIGGER THAN YOU’#and i’m like no i don’t. i’m primarily going to use it to watch masterchef; illegally stream movies; and put on the monterey bay aquarium#live cams when i’m stressed#40’’ is my absolute maximum just based on the tv stand that i possess. which i’m NOT replacing because it’s fine#i find over 50’’ to be obnoxious. you don’t need all of that#personal

huh. It obviously in hindsight makes sense that aerodynamic trains would have a foreskin for their forward linking thingie but it still looks weird to see it pulled back like this

YOU ASKED FOR INVASIVE SO HERE WE GO
what's the most public place you've had sex?
describe the best sex you've ever had (be as descriptive or as vague as you'd like).

FUCK YEAH FENN! THIS IS THE SLEEPOVER GOSS I LOVE.
okay, this gets filthy. putting it under a cut
MOST PUBLIC PLACE IVE HAD SEX:
there are two answers for this:
ive had sex at my local dungeon tons of times. i've even had a scene where the premise was centered around me being fucked doggystyle, my hair pulled back to make me face the people watching us. then certain friends in the audience that i trust went back and forth with my Dom giving me praise, but like talking ABOUT me, rather than to me? really freaking hot dude. BUT, i also feel like this doesn't count because like, its pretty EXPECTED that people have sex at the dungeon, you know?
the OTHER one is that i got fucked in a jc penney dressing room and totally got caught halfway through
BEST SEX:
ooooh, okay. SO, i was in a situationship/D/s dynamic my freshman year of college with this guy from my local scene. we had a ton of really toxic, but REALLY REALLY HOT hate sex. so between two instances--
i was in a full, hammock style suspension, with my hands tied. got fucked WHILE he used a hitachi on me. and the whole time it was a slew of "finally. is this all i had to do to get you to shut your pretty fucking mouth?" and "if you don't want me, wh do you act so fucking desperate for my cock" vibes
a kitten!play scene. i got absolutely RAILED with a really pretty kitten tail buttplug in and a bell that jingled with it. tons of praise and pet names like "pretty paws" and "pretty kitty"
CRUSHES:
literally all my crushes right now are server crushes. also, my demisexual ass has connected with so many of you and made me a server slut.

A potential unfulfilled: the Intercity 225
As I had some time to wander around before catching the Eurostar back to France, I checked out the trains at King's Cross station. To my slight disappointment, there wasn't a huge amount of variety on display: Azuma, Azuma, Azuma... They're nice trains, don't get me wrong (built by Hitachi, using the same base as JR Kyushu's 885 series), but that's all there was. Still, I decided to check out all the platforms, and, at the far end, hidden behind an Azuma, there it was.
The star in train books during my childhood was the Intercity 125 or High Speed Train (HST), a 125 mph-capable Diesel-powered set, which, I think, still holds the world record for the fastest Diesel passenger service. I would have loved to see one when visiting England, but this was just as good. In fact, I had seen it out of the window while riding into London, taken a crappy photo and thought "oh well, never mind", only to see it had followed us in.
In the early 90s, the Intercity 225 was touted as the next big thing: all-electric, capable of running at 225... km/h (that's 140 mph, using different units was admittedly a bit disingenuous), designed to receive a tilting mechanism later on, completing the Advanced Passenger Train's redemption arc. What could go wrong?
Not long after the introduction of the Intercity 225, Britain's railways were privatised, with the typical lack of ambition for service that it brings. No private company was going to invest in the infrastructure and upgrades to allow the train to reach its full potential; meanwhile France and Germany were expanding their 250-300 km/h networks. Instead, these trains were limited it to 125 mph - the same as the HST, just on electrified lines. Worse still, it was one of these sets that met with the consequences of the privatised rail maintenance's culture of corner-cutting and outsourcing, on a broken rail at Hatfield in 2000.
From the outside looking in, I'm left with a bitter sense of "what could have been" for this train. Perhaps a rail fan from the UK could say more about what they feel the Intercity 225's legacy would be. At least its successor, the Azuma, has the fact that it's bi-mode (Diesel and electric) to shout about.
Still great to see one and its "so 90s" design in the flesh! LNER have also given the trains their original livery back, except with a burgundy main body colour instead of the original graphite grey, while the locomotive was in a special commemorative livery for the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

Do Sandy and Kana exist in this universe? If so, were their basis changed so as to keep faithful to the series' British roots? (for example, Sandy being changed from a Motorcar/Rail Speeder into a BR Class 15)
Hi, Sandy and Kana do exist in my au. Sandy is a fairmont mt14 rail speeder/inspection trolley built by the current CME at Crovan’s Gate Dr. Ruth Bell who has also built Philip and Cleo, thus becoming siblings like and best friends. She is currently owned by the works though Sandy loften shunt at the big stations but usually is seen doing track repairs and maintenance on all of the others as well alongside the works gang/crew with her ability to switch her tools.
Sandy also acts as Ruth’s main personal inspection trolley since Cleo isn’t that use to the busy railway life. Also fun fact, both Sandy and Cleo can switch their gauges from miniature-narrow-standard (though this might change for Cleo) sandy especially to help out with maintenance on all the railways (except the cfr though knowing how much spunk and a bit of a daredevil Sandy is, that’s probably for the best.)
Kana on the other hand, works on the Peel Godred Branchline alongside her twin Akira, Riff and Jiff (who’s names are changed) Stafford and a bunch of ocs having been introduced during my take of the International Railway Show Competition in the 90s-early 2000s. Kana and Akira are high speed electric engines (they are either Class 951 Shinkansen built in the 1970s or my take of the BR Class 93 (InterCity 250) billy by Hitachi Rail (so they’re a A-train). that works on the Peel Godred Branch Line extension from Peel Godred to Barrow-In-Furness. They’re both very good friends with the CFR engines.
Once Ruth attempted to make them and some of the other electric engines independent from electricity albeit via power charging stations hence to why Kana tries to go about the island more while the other were content being in one place, mainly to the earl’s estate railway despite her battery draining quicker though they have charging stations in the museums since she’s rechargeable like Stafford as Ruth helped install it at Crovan’s Gate Works, there’s also charging stations at both Ulfstead, Vicarstown and of course Peel Godred itself.
thank you for the ask 👋😊😊

Transforming Commuter Experience: Enter a New Era of Rail Transit Control
Driven by surging population demands in California's San Francisco Bay Area, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) undertook a system revamp to cater to the growing need for efficient transportation. With an average of 405,000 trips made by BART riders, the outdated train control system prompted BART to prioritize safety, reliability and sustainability through modernization efforts.
BART partnered with Hitachi to implement their digital Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) system, enabling flexible fleet management, expanding service capacity and introducing an energy-saving sleep mode capability.
What Is Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) Technology?
Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) is an advanced train control technology that uses wireless communication and computer systems to manage operations in rapid transit or subway systems, enhancing performance and reducing headway with a real moving block. Hitachi Rail offers a wide range of Railway and Mass Transit solutions, from fully integrated turnkey solutions to traditional signalling systems.
Benefits of Digital CBTC Technology
Enhanced safety - The precise train positioning and continuous communication of Digital CBTC ensure better collision avoidance, thereby enhancing passenger safety.
Increased capacity - Hitachi's digital CBTC system offers flexible fleet management capabilities to effectively boost the service capacity of the system.

hitachi is truly the company of all time, take the hitachi rail manufactured high-speed rail train to your job at an office built with hitachi construction machinery brand machines, cooled by hitachi brand aircons then go home again and bust an earth shattering nut from your hitachi magic wand powered by electricity from a hitachi owned and operated nuclear power plant
megacorpotations are fine so long as they're funny

Catching up on things
I'm writing this up as I'm getting ready to go back into my cage. I was unlocked for 2 days, after my Mistress was able to make me cum in my cage. That experience was amazing. She used a Hitachi on me while other people were in the adjacent rooms. I was not tied or gagged in any way, just made to lay there and told to be quiet. She set a two minute timer and proceeded to start. It was fairly straightforward, if I wanted any relief to my swollen and aching balls, I had until the timer ran out to cum. If I didn't, then she had an ice pack at the ready to place on my very tender balls and I wouldn't be given another chance at cumming until the following weekend. I was desperate and whining. I could feel the orgasm building as I was mentally trying to count the time. As I finally got near, I knew I was very close to out of time. That is when the frantic begging began. Even with this arrangement, I am still never allowed to cum without express permission from my Mistress. The thought of her telling me No or just waiting for timer to expire was terrifyingly hot. I begged and begged, right at the edge of the release I DESPERATELY wanted, but was actively fighting back. She finally spoke up "Look at me. Good boy. Cum for me. Now." I EXPLODED. Never in my life have I cum so much. As soon as I started, the timer went off and she immediately took away the stimulation from the wand. I lay there whimpering that I was cumming, straining against and filling the cage as she watched and laughed. Desperate for more stimulation. Much too soon the orgasm faded and the ache and soreness started to set back in. She slowly let me out of the cage so I could go clean up myself and it. All the while expressing her displeasure that I came on her sheets. I've been wildly in love with this woman for years. Now that she has my cock....her cock, locked in chastity, I love and want her even more.
We spent several hours last night talking about all the ideas she has for me. From having my entiee lower body waxed, to chaining me down and using me as a foot stool while a fucking machine rails my ass for hours.
The longer I spend denied, the more I yearn for Her depraved attention. Yes please, ruin me. Deny me. Change my body and appearance to suit your mood. Humiliate and degrade me. I will tell you "Thank you Mistress" and mean it every time.

Sooo, I might have been getting railed by Mommy and she might have put the Hitachi on my clit and I may have kinda...peed a little.
It was super embarrassing, but Mommy cleaned me up.

Competitive Mario kart is so weird bc it's so small like no one takes Mario kart seriously as a game to 'get good at' so there's just a tenacious and seriously intense insular fandom and youtube videos about Mario kart are lucky to get over 200k views
It's either cringy videos of some people in cheap costumes titled 'MARIO KART in REAL LIFE' or 'NEW META PISSY KONG IS OUT CAT PEACH ON THE HITACHI WAND IS IN??? HOW TO DO THE RAIL SPLART PRO TECH MOVE'

The Rail Way (1979)
youtube
Another seeming irony is that the silver Hitachi ComEng electric train on the left of VR K-Class No 153 is now out of service, replaced by Siemens Nexus and Xtrapolis 100 trains. They were freezing in winter and hot in the summer, but they had a lovely purr when stationary. Three of the Hitachi carriages were converted into a pub in Collingwood.
