🚆 New EURODUAL locomotives for Norway! 🇳🇴 Following the successful delivery of two EURODUAL locomotives to Grenland Rail AS in 2024, the Norwegian operator has now placed an order for five additional units. Some of these powerful hybrid locomotives will be used to haul passenger trains on the scenic Nordlandsbanen. 🌲   ⚡These dual-mode locomotives—combining electric and diesel traction—are perfectly suited to Scandinavia’s challenging terrain and mixed infrastructure, enabling seamless operation across both electrified and non-electrified lines. ❄️ With winterization packages, EURODUAL locomotives are built to withstand extreme weather conditions, operating reliably in temperatures as low as -40°C, even in snow and ice. 📈 With high tractive effort and exceptional operational flexibility, EURODUAL is driving more efficient and sustainable rail transport across the region. 🌍 Another milestone in Stadler’s commitment to delivering innovative rail solutions across Europe!   #Stadler #Grenland #EURODUAL #RailInnovation #Scandinavia #SustainableTransport #HybridLocomotive #WinterReady #Nordlandsbanen

Operating over relatively short distances with predictable routes and frequent docking, ferries are perfectly positioned for electrification. We’re seeing growing momentum for ferry electrification globally – whether fully electric or hybrid – as operators seek cleaner, quieter and more efficient technologies.   But this isn’t just about technology; it’s about improving air quality, reducing noise and delivering more comfortable journeys for passengers and crew.   Our latest project is yet another example of driving progress in this area. ABB will supply power distribution and propulsion systems for seven all-electric ferries built by Remontowa Shipbuilding S.A. for Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd, along with shore power infrastructure across multiple terminals in Scotland.   These vessels will serve island communities across the Clyde and Hebrides region, where ferries are not just transport, but lifeline services that connect people to work, education, healthcare and essential goods.   Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dwEWhjdV   #EngineeredToOutrun

One of the Worst Train Disasters in Rail History The Santiago de Compostela train accident occurred on July 24, 2013, in the suburb of Angrois, about three kilometers from the Santiago de Compostela station. An Alvia train with eight carriages and two locomotives derailed with 222 people on board (218 passengers and 4 crew members), killing 79 people. The Santiago de Compostela train accident was mainly caused by a combination of human error and deficiencies in the safety system of the railway line. The triggering factor was the excessive speed of the train, which entered a dangerous curve at almost 124 mph, more than twice the speed limit. 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 - Excessive speed The Alvia 04155 train, a hybrid diesel-electric train, was approaching Santiago station from Madrid. At the entrance to the Angrois curve, where the speed limit was 80 km/h, the driver maintained a speed of approximately 190 km/h. The high centrifugal force caused the train to derail, overturning the cars and devastatingly disemboweling the carriages. - Absence of automatic braking The section of track where the derailment occurred was not covered by the ETCS (European Train Control System) high-speed safety system, which would have slowed or stopped the train automatically. The high-speed system stopped about 4 km before the curve, leaving speed management solely to the driver. - Driver error Investigations determined that the driver was distracted by a work-related phone call at the crucial moment of the maneuver, forgetting to apply the brakes necessary to safely negotiate the curve. - Known risks The same curve had already proven to be a potential risk point for excessive speed in the past, as demonstrated by a test of the inaugural section of the line, but no adequate corrective measures had been taken. Technological innovation in the railway sector is neutralizing the few threats that still undermine rail transport safety and will further minimize the chances of similar or minor events occurring. #TrainAccident #Derailment #Railway #Innovation

Detailed knowledge on vehicle-track interaction, wheel-rail interface, and railway dynamics is essential for railway engineering professionals. Respect for operational limits is based on the advanced concepts of these research and application areas. The lives of many depend on it. Therefore, the more you study and apply them, the safer the railways becomes. Stay constantly updated. Railway engineering is like a train, constantly moving and evolving over time. Get out of inertia, get out of the basics and improve yourself more. The railways users and operators will thank you.

The Port of Oakland participated in this week's Zero Emissions Ride & Drive event at the #Oakland Coliseum, which featured the latest zero emissions trucks and equipment. Port Senior Maritime Projects Administrator Tim Leong spoke on a panel about real-world insights on zero emissions vehicle adoption. He says the implementation process is underway with our partners. #portofoakland CALSTART #CaliforniaHVIP California Air Resources Board #zeroemissions
