... that Canada's CP Rail used to have a sister company called CP Ships?

Did you know that British Railways ALSO owned a few ships until the 90s ?

It's only used for hazardous freight now. Which I guess translates to "stuff too dangerous to take through the enclosed tunnel".

Other ships from the old Class 99s remain in service to some degree, all spread around the world.

Nope. Operates between Spain and Morocco these days, according to that article.

Looks like it's in Eastern Europe. Who the heck drives at this speed in so much water ?

No, it is Línea San Martín in Argentina. But yes, driver was crazy, even if electric motors are waterproof, he may derail his train at some submerged obstacles...

Ah my mistake, as far as I was aware it was still with Eurostar as a freight operator, but yes, its now operated by FRS Iberia doing that route.

A news source suggests it was going to be moved to Seaborne Freight as part of the scrapped deal for post-brexit cargo.

Isnt teh boat still owned by Eurotunnel though?

There was also CP Air, proving the Multimark logo looks good on anything.

Yes, the Sealink logo was backwards on those ships, it was the standard BR double arrow, but facing the other way. I tend to get quite startled when I am working, as I get very focused on my work. So I made a sign for my workbench at my model railroad club with the Sealink style double arrow (Because American trains run on the right hand side of the line) and wrote "Skittish Rail" under it, with a smaller disclaimer "Seriously, our club president gets easily startled when working". One of my members pointed out the logo was backwards, I told him to look up Sealink ships.

The Sealink logo was only the wrong way round on one side.

Did you know...



The Spanish Island of Mallorca has(d) railway 110 years ago and now?

When I was editing Europe 4096*4096 Scenario, I had to be very detailed. And when I was putting towns on Balearic Islands, I found this fact from the map.

Then I looked up on the Internet. It reads the railway was put into operation in 1912 (from Palma to Soller). And there are also 3 modern rail lines.
