Great Lakes Steamship William G. Mather

Originally shared by +Andrew Ledford


William G. Mather information from wiki – more pictures on the site
The Steamship William G. Mather is a retired Great Lakes bulk freighter now restored as a museum ship in Cleveland, Ohio, one of four in the Great Lakes region. She transported cargo such as ore, coal, stone, and grain to ports throughout the Great Lakes, and was nicknamed “The Ship That Built Cleveland” because Cleveland’s steel mills were a frequent destination.


She was built by Great Lakes Engineering Works, Ecorse, Michigan, as the flagship for the Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company and was named in honor of the then-company president, William Gwinn Mather. The Mather remained the Cliffs’ flagship until the Edward B. Greene (now the Kaye E. Barker of the Interlake Steamship Company fleet) was built in 1925. She remained an active part of the Cliffs’ fleet until the end of…

Driverless trains: The future of the metro system?

Originally shared by +CCTV News


A driverless subway train rolled off the production line in east China"s Qingdao city, Shandong Province, on Friday, marking a new breakthrough in China’s metro technology.
The train, which is likely to be put into service in Beijing after undergoing trials this year, is completely automated. It can be started, operated, parked and even washed using remote controls, reports the Xinhua News Agency.
But are these new trains safe?
When asked that question, Jiang Xin, a head technician at the state-owned high-speed train maker CRRC Qingdao Sifang, said, “it’s fully automated but can actually run more safely and effectively compared to trains controled by humans.”
“These trains can not only help reduce operational failures caused by human error but also help avoid accidents caused by factors such as driver fatigue or sudden illness of staff,” he added.
The new trains are also equipped with high-tech detection devices, which help identify obstacles along the route and ensure that the train stops in case of a derailment.
If needed, the trains can also be shifted from automatic to manual mode.
