Do you know how many different types of trains there are?
At least twelve
Hey, I did not say that I knew, just asked if you did!?! 😂🤪
Oh okay in that case no
No, but one friend of mine absolutely does.
(And, yes, she's autistic.)
AI least six, I'm positive of that.
Okay so we have steam train, petrol/gasoline train, electric train, ... Wind train ? Manually driven train, ...
And to the horror of software developers: Agile release trains. Which are neither agile, not real trains. Nor fun to be in.
Oh, the death march?
You forgot funiculars, the cable operated train, and the ones above can be broken down more...
I fell for the trap, didn't I?
Are sled dogs a new type, or do they fall under manual?
Wagon train, maglev, monorail, various gages, did you know one of the bigger logistical problems faced by the Confederacy in the American Civil War was that their train infrastructure was primarily from centers of production to the coast, without many connections in between?....
Six... or Seven?
