June 25 – July 1 BLUE UNIT Train-Run from Ellenton, Florida to Fresno, California (7 days). THIS WILL BE THE LONGEST SINGLE MOVE OF ANY CIRCUS IN HISTORY. Time-frame calls for the load-out to begin early on Friday, June 24. The flats are to move from Ellenton to join the coaches between Ellenton and Tampa, then they are to move out as a “Unit Train” (Circus Train) upon putting those two sections together. Since posting this thread on Thursday, June 23, the “chosen” route has been confirmed by someone with the internet moniker “rrw” and also from a host of BNSF personnel who were scratching their collective heads over yesterday’s conundrum over the possible route choices west of New Orleans (UP or BNSF): After going west out of Florida on CSXT to New Orleans, BNSF will take over from there, and all the way to destination: through Houston-Temple-Sweetwater-Clovis-Belen-Winslow-Needles-Barstow-Bakersfield-Fresno, with a run over TEHACHAPI LOOP on the final day of the run.
In 2013, entrepreneur Elon Musk, proposed a conceptual high-speed transportation system called the ‘Hyperloop’.
And while construction of the “Hyperloop” itself is still in the startup phase, both current and former students at UCLA’s IDEAS campus have already envisioned what the Hyperloop travel experience would be like.
“We were just looking at the data of Elon’s white paper and expanding it, taking it to the next level,” explained former UCLA graduate student Matt Whitham. “How big would a Hyperloop station have to be? What would the interior of the capsule look like? How to design it? Would you be able to stand up inside of the capsule while going 760 miles an hour?”
The idea is that passengers would ride inside capsules, at tremendously high speeds, in pneumatic tubes. A cross-continent trip that today takes days could be completed in mere hours.
“It changes the perception of space it changes the perspective of time, it’s going to be revolutionary,” says UCLA Professor Marta Nowak.
And, as Full Frame Contributor Sandra Hughes found out, reinventing the way we all travel is no small challenge.

Russia has confidently tapped into hyperloop train technology for moving both freight and passengers at speeds of up to 1,200 kph. Russian Railways and Hyperloop One are exploring together the possibility of using the futuristic technology. General Electric and SNCF could join Russia’s Hyperloop pilot project as investors, declared the CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), Kirill Dmitriev (TASS).
“We’re now discussing with Russian Railways first pilot projects and therefore will hopefully be testing them in the nearest future in Russia as well, and such major investors as General Electric and SCNF, the leading industrial companies, are putting their faith in the project and obviously we hope it will be successful in Russia as well,” he said.
Hyperloop One, the Russian group of companies Summa (owner of Fesco, one of the largest Russian shipowners and operators of port infrastructure with integrated rail and logistics operations), and Moscow Government have signed an agreement to explore building Hyperloop One systems in Russia’s capital region. The deal was signed at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum by Moscow mayor Sergey Sobyanin, Summa Group chairman Ziyavudin Magomedov and Hyperloop One chairman and co-founder Shervin Pishevar. According to Hyperloop One, discussions with Russia’s federal government are underway for a second feasibility study, with an agreement expected later this year.
“Our longer term vision is to work with Russia to implement a transformative new Silk Road: a cargo Hyperloop that whisks freight containers from China to Europe in a day,” Pishevar stated.
Russian Transport Minister Maksim Sokolov said that the Russian government proposed Primorye-2 transportation corridor as the pilot stage for hyperloop. The 70 km long corridor connects the ports in the southwest of Primorye – Posiet, Zarubino and Slavyanka – with China’s northeastern provinces. According to him, China has also expressed interest to co-fund the project. “We have a fund to support the Silk Road projects. I believe that this project may count on 100% co-financing from this fund,” he said.
RDIF also announced yesterday that it made investments in Hyperloop One. RDIF committed funds to the company during the Series B financing round, which closed in April 2016. A number of leading international investors participated in this round alongside RDIF. Among them are: Sherpa Ventures, Formation 8, ZhenFund, Caspian Venture Partners, 137 Ventures, Khosla Ventures, Fast Digital, Western Technology Investment (WTI), GE Ventures, as well as SNCF.
“RDIF pays great attention to the development of transport infrastructure, including the technological advances that will shape the future of the transport industry. Our investment in Hyperloop One project will facilitate the arrival of cutting-edge technologies in Russia. RDIF and its international partners will provide support to the project not only in Russia but also in the Middle Eastern and Asian markets.”

The Coming of Protection, a poem I wrote and had published in High School based on the words Aegis Fang a symbol and meaning of shield and sword, Avant-Garde the meaning of ideas at the forefront of everything, and Van-Guard the meaning of people at the forefront of war or life. That poem was written at a time in my life that I needed help, and instead of getting help, I was left for 2 years in my room after High school for my teeth to rot with no one to speak too. After escaping severe childhood trauma, Federal United States of America Agents at Eastern Washington University stole my idea for Advent Guard and pushed me out of creative writing, covering up their violent crimes by taking me to Hawaii, Germany, and other places so they could take at least a few photos of me not alone and in my room, instead of not raping and assaulting me at Eastern Washington University so I could have made friends and wrote my book Advent Guard in Creative Writing. I imagine Advent Guard is The Most Elite United States of Americas Armed Forces Van-Guard Fighting team to ever exist in the history of The United States of America, at the forefront of all ideas and The United States of Americas Armed Forces. I also imagine that The Van-Guard of The United States of Americas Armed Forces is not retarded enough to fall for the violent rapists and terrorists who took me to Hawaii and Germany so they could take photos of me to cover up my horrible life. I would have graduated in 3 years from Eastern Washington University without those terrorists attacking and raping my life and covering it up, went back to framing homes right around when Tim started his business and writing my book, The Only Reason I Went To Eastern Washington University from the start, which would have helped my mental health by getting all the ideas in my head out coherently and in a constructive manner, 30k in debt which is a normal persons car I could have paid off by 30 years old and it would not have depressed me so much to not have a degree and 60k in debt, I would have had friends, a wife and children, a career, and developed the idea of Advent Guard.
