>>986270>So a diesel train only makes since with fewer, larger loads? And a bus is small and flexible in a way that would not work for a larger LRV?Basically, yes. There's examples of low-capacity diesel operation using small trains on previously existing lines that have otherwise become unprofitable. Noone except the 3rd world and burgerland would open a new diesel low-capacity passenger line nowadays.
Pic related brand new trains went into service on monday on a non-electrified line with low demand.
>>986514Fuck you I know perfectly well they're diesel-electrics you autist it's just that like you said yourself there haven't been diesel units in decades so it's obvious I mean diesel-electric.
