Did not see this on any other thread ...

Will there be any major changes with this change?

The new FRA regs already were posted on two threads. Zero comments.

Reading the comments, I'm glad that I'm on this very civilised thread (for the most part, natch) but wow, how nasty the comments are. They sure go for personal attacks and insults on whatever forum that is. It's why I don't do social media unless this is considered to be it.

We've had several threads on this already (they contain "FRA" in the title)

Actual document is here:

https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/11/21/2018-25020/passenger-equipment-safety-standards-standards-for-alternative-compliance-and-high-speed-trainsets

Note that the comment period is indicated as being open.

It's really tame here.

agreed ...  Imagine if people had to put their full name and address after comments how quickly that would change.

I thought i remember Volker talking about this, but some of those threads were hard to keep up with :)

Does anyone know what actually happened to him?  Banished by moderators or did he just get fed up with the futility of posting valuable, factual information that certain posters refused to accept?  It's too bad.

Or left out of sheer boredom.
