It's that time again. Post trams and trains and other rail vehicles. Both vehicles from AES and c*pitalist countries welcome.I am looking for this one very aesthetic picture of a tram going down a grassy incline. I think it was from Czechoslovakia but not sure.

The Thuringian mountain railway celebrated it's 100th birthday not that long ago

Seems taking a hostile policy – we are talking about strategic plans to shift NATO towards a war posture – towards China means that full participation in a shared future for humanity is revoked

building rail in lithuania seemed to mainly just be formality anyway, it's only eurasia and africa that matter, not europe and especially not coastal europe where everything is already developed for trade. china's interest is in being impossible to besiege by embargo or sanctions, hence its priorities are building the belt and road.

Decommunization of Lithuania continues, kek
When are they bulldozing the nuclear power plants and hospitals?

I don't like that bullet trains are named after bullets. Bullets are violent and evil and warlike. There's nothing warlike about fast trains. They should get some nice non-violent name that makes them welcoming but still makes it clear that they are fast, like "Sonic the Hedgehog train" or something.

I hate how individualistic and American the Amtrak sleeper trains are, they have overpriced rooms, and most of their rooms are anti communal and are advertised towards 1-2 middle class people who want to be in a private environment, sleeper trains were never about making everything private, they are a communal form of transportation, I prefer the Soviet train system in which there are private rooms that can house 4 people, but those are random people.

There was an small farm near where I lived that had a "garden train" where they would drive people out to the orchards to pick fruit and travel the farm in general, but it stopped functioning a few years ago. At least I have my memories but I'm sad my little cousin, niece and kids aren't gonna know the rattling fun ride that it was.

Pic 2 Standard old diesel train (M41). They paint diesel red.
Pic 3 Standard old electrical train (V43). They paint electrical trains blue.

I think these three are the most "iconic" that are still in use, these days they just buy those FLIRT and Desiro multi-unit trains like every other country has.

>The first hybrid electric locomotive EMKA2 was manufactured in Russia
At the Novocherkassk Electric Locomotive Plant of Transmashholding, the first Russian hybrid electric locomotive EMKA2 was manufactured for customers. The EMKA2 electric locomotive is capable of operating from a contact network or from an on-board energy storage device. The EMKA2 electric locomotive is designed for operation in depots and passenger terminals of large stations, where for environmental reasons the use of diesel engines is undesirable. The EMKA2 electric locomotive can be recharged in two ways - from the contact network through a standard 3 kW pantograph, or from an external charger. The energy in the electric locomotive's storage unit is sufficient to propel a train weighing up to 2 thousand tons over a distance of up to 14 km. Without a train, an electric locomotive can travel up to 100 km. Using an electric locomotive instead of a shunting diesel locomotive allows you to save up to 70-80% of fuel and lubricants and reduce current operating costs by 40-60%. The operating speed of the electric locomotive is 90 km/h, weight is 92 tons.

An armored car of a post-war armored train in the Museum of Military Equipment - Kiev. The turrets are from T-10M tanks, you can tell because they're upgunned with the M-62-T2S tank gun, also found mounted in the SU-122-54.

The grey in the background is armored boats; If anyone wants drawings and photos of those armored boats, they're located in the magazine "Boats and Yachts" from the '80s. And in the Military History Magazine of the 90s.

>Crimean type Coastal Defense Armoured trains commanded by the Black Sea Fleet. 7 built using warship plating and guns in 1941 to prepare for the Axis invasion. Armament was 3x 76.2 mm 34-K Duel purpose naval guns, AA DhSK-38s and a bunch of M1910 Maxim Guns
>Sometimes they used older 76.2mm guns instead of the 34-K, (full designation 76.2 mm/55 (3") 34-K Pattern 1935) here’s the full information on the guns for anybody interested http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNRussian_3-55_m1935.php
Additionally some of the trains packed a mortar car with 2 x 82mm or 107mm mortars.

Why do Autisms love trains so much?

Because:
>They run on a set path at set times with a predictable time of leaving and arriving, which makes scheduling easier than if you had to travel by car since you can just pick the time that suits you the best.
>They don't have to compete with other forms of traffic because they're the only thing in the lane.
>They are comfortable to travel in
>They are more efficient than any other form of land-based mass transportation in terms of speed and how much they can carry.
>You don't have to stress about driving them yourself, even the actual drivers really only have to sit on their asses, occasionally accelerating and decelerating because the train goes on a set path.
>They can take you anywhere where there's a track; the tracks only have to be laid once and need much less replacement/maintenance than roads.
>They are less maintenance-intensive in terms of spare parts.
>They're much more clean in terms of their proportional environmental impact than a fleet of cars or buses.
>They don't need to be separately recharged or refueled because you can just hook them up to a source of electricity directly, which means they are more logistically sound on top of being energy efficient.
>They just look cool af.
