    Me after I wake up: Somewhere around 20-30, sometimes more. I would give a pic, but I have none.

    Won't be a problem, most 600mm locomotives are as wide as the track. The ones that are bigger only go as wide as the sleepers.

    Maybe things are different in your country, in the UK they don't let people anywhere near rail lines where possible, anywhere where someone might get close they put up fences in combination with steep trespassing fines. Usually they try to keep people separated if possible. If its even remotely close they will generally use full hight metal fencing, if there is a couple meters of clearance they will usually step down to a standard half hight fence.

    "Spritz Up" is not really a great name and can be taken out of context very easily....

    National may have been a better word than local. It's owned by a chain that operates like a gazillion stores.

    600mm railway aren't linked to railway rules here but only to building regulations. The locomotives won't go faster than 15km/h so they can stop fast enough for danger and the way they're build would just shove aside a person on the track.

    Wait wait wait. I thought you meant proper trains, like lines that run restored steam trains etc. Fair enough then. Not sure I would want to ride one of those along an ordinary old railway line, but sure, I'm sure someone will. Those sorts of things really require great kept scenery or stunning natural views to be interesting.

    These are proper locomotives


    Plenty of view along the original route


    Here's the Ffestiniog railway, same gauge, took a great effort to restore.

    Google calendar spam is really starting to become a thing. It's considerably more annoying than email spam too since they set reoccurring calendar events twice day indefinitely (you can delete them all in one go though Thankfully) with 3 reminders for each event meaning it keeps popping up all the time.

    More importantly, why is this a default feature of Google calendar that literally anyone including people who have never contacted me before can add calendar events to my calendar, and hide their own account information in doing so as a "private" anonymous event organizer.

    Its inherently stupid design and the fact it has been around for years without any form of patch or fix is rediculous.

    You should never have anything from Google set to public. Period. I don't use Google calendar, but there will be a setting that it set to public right now. Find it, and set it to anything else.

    The best camera I have is my phone, but she takes some epic pictures. All of those were taken in pro mode, meaning I controlled everything but aperture.

    Not sure if these are the .raw images or the .png images, but I'll update if needed.

    who even uses the .jpg file format anymore

    It doesn't support transparency, the quality is sub-par, and it is overall completely superseded by .png.
