There’s just something about trains that are inherently satisfying, that I can’t put my finger on…

Symbol of going on an adventure powered by good old trusty tech that doesn't try to milk every pieces of your humanity.

That’s true, but as always the auxiliary systems (and to an extent the main driving system) have become computer controlled.

But trains are much greener than motor vehicles, that’s for sure.

My mom made me a cardboard Thomas the Tank Engine costume when I was young and still wanted to be a train. Sometimes I wish I hadn't given up on my dreams.
