This Failed Propeller Powered TRAIN Was Actually Ahead Of Its Time... SO I BUILT ONE! 

Damn reading the Rail Zepplin, causing my brain to remember Fate Series,

oh that's like the french aerotrain, its cruising speed was 400km/h

Moonbo? You meant kosmo right?

I think they figured out that even painting them different colors will fix the issue

Yeah pretty much. Although Britain had it's own sort of bullet train with the Class A4 Pacifics and the LMS Coronation, until they were taken out of service because the diesel's were taking over.

@@gerrard1144 ah, I didn't know about those. I'll have to look them up. I find trains and train history fascinating but have precious little knowledge about them.

@@aircraftcarrierwo-class i believe on the mainline they go as fast as 90-100mph, but the A4 Mallard reached 126mph on the stokes' bank, beating the previous record for fastest train of 124mph by the Germans. It is now the world's fastest steam locomotive ever to run, although it's middle bearing melted lol. They stuck to 90 since then, when diesels took over, steam trains are only allowed to go 75mph on the mainline, but that was lifted i think. Trains are amazing pieces of engineering.

Trains are actually fairly extensively used in the usa, you can spot rails all over the place, like a lot a lot, like the usa has the longest rail network in the world, with china coming in second. Not a close second though, its a solid 150,000 km extra of track over China. The US totaling 250,000 km, china 100,000 km, and russia sitting at 85,500 km. The assumption that the us does not use them is because they are not a popular means of transport for people. For good reason really, the issue is quite simply that setting them up as a means of public transport would be too inconvenient, the USA isn't like Europe where towns and housing was set up around horse and foot travel. A lot of US development was thanks to the goldrush, followed by the rise of cars, thousands of people settled along the long path from east to west and started to spread out rapidly once there was a fast long distance means of personal travel. Convenience and price is mostly why things ended up the way they are. Say for example I did want to go somewhere a track exist and was planned for, maybe a trip from new york to chicago. That would cost me, 215.69, and 1-2 days. For that same price, I can get on a plane and get there in a few hours. For that same amount of time, but cheaper, I could just drive there. If I am instead visiting family, somewhere outside of a major city, even if there is a track that crosses there, as its not a major line but a similar distance away, that would likely cost me 300-400 dollars, would require me moving between multiple trains, take a few more days, and that is only one way, the price would double if I wanted to take the train back home. It's just not worth it when cheaper and faster options exist.

@@FastForwardPlans Yeah I know the USA uses trains to move lots of freight. I was more referring to people-movers being unpopular.

Yeah your right he's really on a ride

I think he already did it in trailmakers, not sure tho, but I think he at least did something very similar to it

Wait actually no, I confused it with something else

I know right, so cherw
