Two new electric trains are just a drop in the bucket.

    I didn’t know we were all aboard about any kind of trains.

      We have the best freight network in the world and Amtrak gets thousands of dollars per passenger from the feds.

      That’s not to mention all the local light rail and subway systems.

      Just because we don’t have a bullet train doesn’t mean we don’t have trains.

      Hell, we’re the only ones to actually standardize our couplers, instead of the dumb fuckery that is Europe

      Electric might finally be the “in” we needed the whole time. It’s a different world now.

        The instant torque sold me. The best parts of ICE vehicles, but pennies to recharge and no worries of carbon monoxide poisoning. I hope electric boats become more of a thing. The exhaust can wash back aboard smaller boats, and it’s a bit sickening to breathe in.
