zeropublix, w Amtrak Might Bring 200+ MPH Japanese Bullet Trains To Texas

Electric trains with their network? Sounds fun

This is a really interesting post! I like how you highlighted both the main title and its cutaway twin it really shows how even small design differences can change the whole perspective. While reading this, I thought about how different interpretations of structures can reveal hidden details, and I came across a good resource that explains similar design and mechanical breakdowns in depth, which you can check out here https://5thaxis.com when you were looking at this, did you focus more on the historical context of the design, or were you more interested in how it works technically?

A diamond ring of this caliber is more than a piece of jewelry, it’s a work of art.

This is the type of ring that elevates every moment, capturing both beauty and emotion in a single, breathtaking design.

European Sleeper believes that the Paris-Berlin night train is economically viable

based on what? Two other companies have stopped this because it wasn't economically viable. This feels like some train-fan-boy pipe dream rather than an economic reality.

HakFoo, w What's the most realistic/reasonable source for an electric self propelled railcar conversion in rural New England?

I could see repurpose from subway equipment, since it’s already powered and usually set up for short trains. America doesn’t have too many above-ground EMU (electric multiple-unit) models to work with; the 50-year-old Metroliner comes to mind, and some Pennsylvania Railroad predecessors.

The infamous British Rail Pacers were effectively bus bodies with flanged eheels, so that sort of retooling has precedent.

Are you thinking battery, third rail, or cantenary? The latter two are much more infrastructure heavy so you might not see them at the outer edges of a network.

Locomotive hauled trains might be another viable option, one small battery-powered engine (see Norfolk Southern 999) and one or two ancient coaches.

I was picturing a kind of jury-rigged ‘both’ where each town or village has set up cantenaries extending our as far as they can manage, and it uses its batteries between villages. I imagine it’d stop for a moment and raise or lower the pantographs, sort of similar to the silver line in Boston. I don’t know if that’s realistic but it felt like splitting the difference in an interesting way.

HakFoo,

That feels like an interesting political/economic angle-- a territory’s power could be implied by how far its neighbours will extend wires towards it. Getting the train reliably to Boston might be worth wiring all the way and paying for the electricity, but we can roll the dice on batteries to Albany.

That is interesting! If it’s alright with you I’m going to save this for future worldbuilding.

HakFoo,

Sure.
