slazer2au,

World first solar train… Meanwhile in Australia, 5 years ago, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byron_Bay_TrainGranted it is not high speed.

MossBear,

I saw the source was Euronews and my first thought was, “I wish we could have this in America.” And what do you know? It is here! Not surprised that California is leading the way. I hope this develops more broadly over time. We desperately need a modern rail system.

dreikelvin,

Same over here in europe. The train system we have over here is anything but perfect. Every country or region still has different standards, requiring a change if wheels, connectors and other parts on the route of a long-distance train. This costs a lot of money too. Train tickets are soaring. Train routes are clogged. Short distance trains are partly being closed, shortened or showing their age. Despite an increase of flight ticket prices, people still find flying more compelling than travelling by train.

Still, night trains are somewhat having a little revival right now.

I really hope we can get some fresh new wind and new tech. It is time our Transport Tycoon enters the future era ;)
