Hi Bill,

Thanks for the reading and where is it snowing? I'm down in Long Island, New York and today it was a shocking 60!

 

On the north shore of Lake Ontario between Toronto and Montreal. Since a week ago Wednesday we've had hurricane force winds  last Wednesday,  210mm of snow during the first 12 hours of a 20 hour storm last Friday and Saturday,  50 mm of snow Wednesday morning and another 100 mm last night.  There's an Alberta Clipper coming on Saturday and an Artic Air Mass next week.

Bill,

Take care. A couple of weeks ago there was a snow scare in the NYC area, the snow fell but it was wet so it didn't stick. But that didn't stop the snow plows, the state call for them so they went and I was 3 plow one behind the other plowing the pavement.

A quick search turned up nothing recent for the now suspended Japan Railway & Transport Review.  Still, the articles listed in its back issues remain online and provide a wealth of knowledge that recent  members may not be aware of.

Thanks for the post Bill.  Over the years I've read some pdfs from this site, but I was unaware that they'd stopped producing their English publication.  I agree it's a great resource, but I do have to wonder what the overall readership is.

Wow! Thank you everyone for the contributions. I had no idea that this type of document existed in English. Will take my time and study every section.

These are wonderful documents. Many were printed once as a book which I have from way back. Really nice to have them in pdf. Btw they print well.

Glad to see they are still up. Make sure to download the PDFs if you are interested as these are the sort of sites that go poof eventually. Wish they were still publishing. Good stuff.
