So trains. I normally come here for the bikes, but trains tho. How do I get into this elite level autism. What is the locomotive equivalent of a vintage Eddie Merckx bicycle?

I like machines too, but trains don't appeal to me, their not precise enough. I'm more of a guns and watches type guy. Maybe its because I'm an americunt and the train here are uninteresting and suck.

Why are trains so fucking aesthetically pleasing? How do they do it? I've yet to see a train which didn't have any points of charm.

You act as if I don't agree with you. I rode on an amtrak train this last winter. That shit was literally from the 1960's. The rails were so poorly built that one section had us going 10mph for a full hour. Just think of all the Irish and chinks that died creating something as pointless as the american Rail system. Please Elon Musk save us from this hell.

Got kind of tired of fighting off butthurt cyclists though so I don't really post new threads much anymore. If there's interest though I can start a thread and dump 150 or so of the best MILW electric photos I have.

Electrified freight will happen when oil becomes too expensive and we have moved to a majority-nuclear grid. Trust me.

Lower axle load (suitable for lighter track)
Larger firebox and boiler
Handled curves better than Mallets
Ended up being really popular with African railways, usually of narrow gauge and lesser construction. Never caught on in America, for various reasons. As far as I know, only one Garratt exists in the US, a narrow gauge South African one that is privately owned by a guy near Hempstead, Texas.

If you want electric railroads, allow them to have their own power infrastructure.

Passenger rail in the US sucks for sure, but in these days of very inexpensive flying, and the distances between many major cities it doesn't make a lot of sense to build more, or even to upgrade most of what exists outside maybe the acela corridor. Moving past passenger rail, which is entirely insignificant in the states, you have a massive, transcontinental freight rail system unmatched anywhere on earth.

Every distance that is travelled by car is a distance that could be more conveniently travelled by train. By your logic highways would be empty, yet they aren't, they're full of people driving their cars at 60mph when they could ride a train at 79mph or even more.

Your country not giving a shit about basic public services doesn't mean it isn't feasible nor that it lacks market.
