Don't worry, there's a plan to fortify the B&O railroad museum when the apocalypse comes, I assume then armored trains would be useful. But who knows.

Armored trains were a grand stupidity. Not too hard to stop one, just leave a bunch of stuff on the tracks. In Cuba, there's a "heroic" bulldozer on display that halted Batista's dreaded armored train.

If railroads didn't hate labor so fucking much and if the car-industry didn't fuck everything over, there's an alternative present where you could've freelanced as an independent hauler, tramp-steaming with your loco and a small personal wagon, pulling along whatever cars and whatever cargo, going every day wherever things need to get. A bit like a trucker.

If it was that simple, railroads would've never taken off. Especially with the crude and imperfect tech that we started off with.

Derailing a train requires a lot of effort when working on the ground. Include into this a vehicle advancing guarded, with thought, and expecting danger, without a need for speed...
