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.

Lahore is a city in Pakistan of over 13 million people, 4 million more than either NYC or London. However, aside from a single bus route that opened in 2013, there was never any large metro level public transit until the first automated rail line (with an annual ridership of 20 million and a capacity of 250,000 passengers a day) opened in 2020. Two more rail lines are planned currently.

The surprising thing to me is that others did not standardize. I would have expected at least the EU to have done so. I guess metros don't get that much of this kind of attention as rail or whatever because they are mostly closed systems.

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.

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.

>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.
