- The latest Southwest light-rail problem: Wrong placement of tracks #shorts
- Date posted
- 17 days ago
- Description
- The distance between the center of one set of tracks to the middle of the other was designed to be 25 feet to separate light-rail and freight trains along a narrow stretch of the route. But a Minneapolis neighbor's measurement found the distance was nearly 11 inches short of the mark.
That means the 200 light-rail trains traveling through the Kenilworth corridor every day will be nearly a foot closer to nearby freight trains, which often carry hazardous materials such as ethanol.
The project director said anything less than 25 feet between freight and light-rail tracks would require a crash wall, according to the project's design.

- The Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis has a cast of 25 actors who have been rehearing not just one, but three works of Shakespeare for a 12-hour marathon: Richard II, Henry IV and Henry V.
"These stories have a lot to say. ... And those classic plays are great because you go, 'wow, 400 years ago, Shakespeare was writing about this thing. And it sounds an awful lot like our political moment, our societal moment, et cetera.' So there's great wisdom in those great plays," said Guthrie artistic director Joseph Haj.

- Description
- Cedar and Stone Nordic Sauna's 40,000-pound vessel fits 10 people inside a spacious, wood-paneled and window-adorned sauna, powered by two wood stoves, each filled with 400 pounds of stone. Patio seating is on one side of the barge and a ladder on the other. In the summer, sauna-goers can climb to the second level to jump off, eschewing the platform. The company will contend with spring ice by installing fans under the vessel to circulate water.
