Has any state ever been cucked as hard by Republicans (regarding trains) than our autistic northern neighbor?

To be fair, it's not like they actually elected their governor.

Why aren't electric toy trains as popular as they used to be?
In the US at least, passenger rail has almost disappeared, and kids aren't likely to be interested in toy trains when they've never ridden on a train or even gone to meet passengers at a station. Watching a freight train go by through the window of your parent's car is much inspiring.
Video games.
>>1028136
This, train simulators ware way better
Also, I suspect a lot of it had to do with a relative working for the railways, but railways are no longer common
>tfw will never get to experience Japan-level punctuality again while living in Melbourne
Fuck this city. They can manage to have an entire country's public transport system be extremely efficient/punctual but we can't even fucking get one city?
And for how long are they going to be working on the fucking tracks. IT'S BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE LAST YEAR. STOP MAKING ME TAKE THE BUS.
get a bike ya fagget
>>1045510
Cunt I'm not going to ride a fucking bicycle all the way from Narre to the CBD.
It's already an hour-long train ride.
>>1045511
man the fuck up and move to the city u peseant
What is this /n/?
>>1042477
A great idea. Let's you essentially put your bike on a train, combine the two best forms of transport in a single commute.
This looks horribly time consuming.
Also I'd panic that something's going to prevent me from getting to the rack in time and the train leaves with my bike.

Hey /n/ I am looking for an xmas miracle here.
For complicated reasons my household will not have a happy holliday unless I can get my hands on a collectible bike by the 23rd.
I have searched high and low with no luck.
Does anyone here have a lead on such a bike?

Thanks that is a sweet bike but I am looking for more of a delta v1000 type of bike.

Jesus Christ, why don't they just hire the guy? This guy was BORN TO FUCKING DRIVE TRAINS. What is so wrong with that? It definitely seems like he knows what he's doing, and you can guarantee he would be the most dedicated employee in the entire Metropolitan Transit Authority. I wonder if there's some kind of extenuating circumstance that would prevent him from being hired... You know, aside from having hijacked public transport vehicles 100 times. If there isn't though... Seriously, I almost feel like they should consider hiring the guy.
>started riding my bike to commute (10 miles) basically every day from June-December 2016
>basically entire month of January it has been raining so i haven't ridden my bike for almost a month and now the weather is clear
Oh god I'm dreading my performance guys. My commute is 5 miles downhill in the morning and 5 miles uphill at night. It will probably take me like twice as long to get home...WHAT IF I HAVE TO WALK THE BIKE UPHILL ;_;
WHATEVER WILL THE FOLK THINK!
Don't sweat it dude, if you have to walk, you have to walk, but try to push yourself hard before dismounting...
First world problems?

ABC - Always Be Cycling
Is what he said true? Did this race rival the Tour De France?

Why would you believe anything he says is true?
Sure didn't.
He can make cycling great again... and by great I mean bankrupt.
I need to know a breed of horse that can run for hours while i hunt for a heretic

Horses are transportation too. So is walking.
I vaguely remember the horses in Van Helsing were trained to run indefinitely. I couldn't find the exact clip.

90's rigid mountain bike with slicks.
I actually think the Pokemon series is /n/ as fuck.
>spend most of the game walking or cycling
>ride on boats, trains
>fly on pokemon, surf on pokemon
Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald and the remakes expand on this by featuring both a road bike and a more agile mountain bike. Both bikes are necessary for exploration, since the player sometimes needs raw speed, or bunny hopping ability to bypass an obstacle.
The Pokemon games rarely show the player in a truck or car.
But I was also interested in video games where the primary theme is /n/ related. Ever played Courier Crisis for the PS1? It's like a precursor to Crazy Taxi where you ride a 90s mountain bike (with carbon wheels for some reason) around making deliveries, assaulting pedestrians and doing stunts while evading cops. It gets old quick, but it's a very /n/ game. Of course, for the foamers, there's A-Train on the PS1 as well.
I don't know of many realistic cycling games for the PC. There are the super boring cycling manager games, of course. GTA 5 has a few bikes, so you can go online and get murdered by 4 cagers in an armored car over and over until you sticky bomb them. You can always ride the trains too and escape a 6 star wanted level.
The concept art is very interesting. The Acro Bike is a dual-suspension mountain bike with front disc and the rear might be a drum brake, I'm not sure. The Mach Bike is your standard road bike, or maybe closer to a cyclocross bike than anything. Ironically, the Mach Bike (the road bike) is usually used on dirt, because only it has the ability to climb muddy slopes, and ride across floors that disintegrate. The game even times and rates your ride on the cycling road. Controlling the Mach Bike is quite difficult, and you usually collide with other cyclists, initiating a battle.
Probably Microsoft Flight Simulator X
I loved /n/ing around in GTA:SA
Post news, pictures, videos of trams or light rail.

Croydon tram has 5 victims.
Looks like high speed + switch changed to wrong direction.

Two more pics from this Usť-Katav, the home town of UKVZ tram producing factory.
The system is pretty...well, Russian style rural
Is a sandcrawler physically possible, or would the ground pressure exceed feasibility?
This might work, having 8 treads.
>>1041644
What about the ground pressure?
With naval nuclear power and the track technology of super excavators it's technologically possible to build such a thing.
The question is how much it would weigh, and what the max feasible pressure would be in a desert environment or whether the vehicle would immediately sink into the dunes.
>>1041649
You should do the science and the math, and find out. Then let us know.
