End of the Line for Pennant Station
What a terrible Valentine's Day gift...
A very different video from my usual content, but one I felt was important to document during this station's last weekend of operation. Technically this can be considered tech, right? I wanted to highlight the importance of maintaining our transportation (road, highway, bridge, tunnel, rail, bus, etc) networks and keeping them safe, especially in a time when there are many essential workers reliant on them to get to their jobs. Here in Pittsburgh a light rail station is being permanently closed due to the degradation of infrastructure leading to the stop and the high cost of the needed repairs/upgrades to keep it open. For most it's a short blip on the radar in the grand scheme of things, but for some it's a huge loss. My hopes of the station staying open are slim, but hopefully by raising attention to this issue similar scenarios in Pittsburgh and elsewhere can be avoided in the future. No structure will last forever without the proper maintenance and support from officials, workers, and the community. As always, thanks for watching and be sure to stay tuned for more tech-related content in the near future!
A little note: Please keep the comments civil. While I refrain from discussing anything political in the video, it's easy for an issue like infrastructure funding to turn into an ugly argument given the current political climate. I would love to hear any civil discussion on this or a related topic though!
I'd also like to apologize for the low production quality of this video, the station's closure was a very short-notice thing and my proper camera did not take well to the cold weather, so I had to record everything on my phone with just the built-in microphone. I'm still pleased with the result, regardless.
