blame the budget cuts, not us

I love public transport.

I say, not loving public transport.

Waiting inside aforementioned public transport.

Which is not driving.

Because it broke while I was still loving said public transport.

Best form of traction?

There are many different ways to power a train, from steam to gas turbines. But which one is the best? Electric. It’s electric. It’s the cleanest, fastest, strongest, quietest, and so on. Hence this poll is intended to see how many people are correct about what the best form of traction is. For this poll, we will be grouping third rail and overhead line electrification into the same category; and trains powered by gasoline/petrol (or another sort of internal combustion engine) are grouped with diesels. So, are you ready to say that electric trains are the best form of railway traction?

If you need help figuring out what sort of train you have, we have a handy chart here.

Obvious answer aside I do understand answering steam. If anyone answers battery electric though, I will have to resort to violence

Anyway, before I was car autistic, I was a tiny baby child and was train autistic (until like age 7). My dad worked in an office right next to our town's train station and I would watch the trains go by from the office window in between watching hotwheels highway 35 with all the cars I owned that appeared in the movie.

I had "Giants of the Rails" on vhs and at least one "lots and lots of trains" vhs tape alongside the thomas the train videos and movies.

But I just got a core memory unlocked about France's Orange TGV train and how cool I thought it looked as a child.

This badass motherfucker right here.

Hell. Yeah.
