Deep Learning to Identify the Spatio-Temporal Cascading Effects of Train Delays in a High-Density Network
The operational efficiency of railway networks, a cornerstone of modern economies, is persistently undermined by the cascading effects of train delays. Accurately forecasting this delay propagation is a critical challenge for real-time traffic management. While recent research has leveraged Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to model the network structure of railways, a significant gap remains in developing frameworks that provide multi-step autoregressive forecasts at a network-wide scale, while sim…

Well this is a fun loft find; The logo on the lid seems to be an exact match to Iraqi Republic Railways; the body seems to match a William Adams sugar pot from sometime 1950s onwards. It's not entirely crazy,p the Brits built some infrastructure in Iraq in the 50s.

Yesterday, there were fewer trains in the Netherlands due to snow in the track switches. For today, NS Dutch Railways announced a reduced schedule.
Now, no trains are running at all, due to an IT failure in planning the reduced schedule...

Geen NS-treinen in heel Nederland tot zeker 10.00 uur, mede door IT-storing
Het is nog onduidelijk of er na 10.00 uur wel NS-treinen kunnen rijden. Andere treinvervoerders rijden wel.

In the spirit of #FOSDEM2026 being sponsored by Google, I hope HackerTrain is brought to you by Ryanair.

A record 3million people to fly from UK this holiday.
Also, heading for the hottest year since records began.

I saw this clock design for the first time this morning and initially read it as a warning. Like a timer on an explosive?

From CBC in partnership with The Narwhal
Hundreds of animals killed by trains on B.C. railways, documents reveal. So, what’s being done to stop it?
CN reported 340 wildlife collisions between 2020 and 2023, These numbers include 202 collisions involving moose and 67 involving bears.
CPKC reported 182 animals were killed and injured by trains in the Kootenay region of B.C. in 2022 and 2023.

NS International Railways tries to make international rail travel even harder. Screenshot by my daughter, travelling from Barcelona to Rotterdam today. The app is informing her that the train from Paris to Rotterdam leaves on the same platform at Gare du Lyon where the train from Barcelona arrives. Not really. It leaves from a different station (Gare du Nord), about half an hour away by RER city train. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦
