Trains

I'm a train fan....yes, I even own Train Simulator 2013.

I find this sort of train very cool, and wouldn't mind seeing this done coast to coast in the U.S.

I went to the Western Pacific Museum in Portola, CA near Reno to drive a Diesel Locomotive. It was a blast sitting 10 feet off the ground and throttle up 1500 horsepower around their 1 mile loop of track.

Yes I love trains too!

That was a pretty cool video an if only our govt would invest in our own infrastructure than petty other things we could have things like this. It would solve a lot of commuting problems in major cities if people could travel great distances and still not have to waste time in traffic.

I am an old train fan....especially the steam locomotives.

Love the Maglev train, too bad the morons that run our country are too short-sighted to see the benefits of such a train.

Maglev is amazing. Hopefully in 30 years we'll have a nation-wide rail system.
