I really think plane and especially train autists need to go to fucking /o/ and just have that be the transportation board. Bike/skateboard/scooter/human powered board is over.

Look at this fucking autist for example. Takes a *fucking plane* somewhere just to ride on a train for fun and probably takes it back, too.

And then didn't even post pics from his little “i am sexually excited by rails because I saw thomas train during puberty” adventure. Fuck this guy.


And fuck all train and plane posters. And ebike shitters too

Good who cares
I don't know how much of a miserable twat you have to be to start ripping on someone for liking trains but your angle is hilariously stupid if you think planes/trains aren't leaps and bounds more interesting and more important than your kiddie toys. Don't get me wrong I like bikes, I want to get one again some day as they're actually useful but no one after the age of 15 uses a scooter or a skateboard you stupid fag. I don't even know how to unpack this level of delusion but piss off back to r*ddit, there's plenty of miserable people there just like you that can't stand others enjoying things, and you'll get to downvote them for it to! I bet you wish you could've done that for this post! It'll suit you to the ground!

I try to apprecaite railbuses but every time I do I can't help but think how they're makeshift/pretend trains that were done on the cheap

Second time that exact spelling error has happened lol

>>2045324
That’s exactly what they are. Rather than fire up a steam locomotive plus coach or combine with a 4-5 man crew, just turn a key with one or two guys. They were a cost cutting measure as branch lines struggled with competition from autos, trucks and buses. I think they’re cute, whether mass manufactured or cobbled together like the Galloping Goose.

No that just describes diesel trains in general, I love diesel trains as much as the next person. Just every time I try to appreciate railbuses I'm reminded of how utilitarian they are

>>2045425
Even a diesel locomotive with rolling stock requires a larger crew. A small DMU would be the modern equivalent of a railbus. I just think some of them are cute and quirky but that’s my taste.

>>2045460
Honestly I think it's just the stigma that Pacers got which did it for me, when I first found out about them I liked them but found out they're literally just bus bodies with ex-freight wagon bogies
>A small DMU
As long as it's an actual train then I can appreciate it, 1 car DMUs I can appreciate

What is the difference between a rail bus and a tram

>>2045619
A railbus is a full-fledged train fulfilling all requirements such as compressive strenght, safety etc for main-line operation, on routes also used by freight / other heavy rail. It just happens to have a similar capacity to a bus.
A tram is made for a secluded network and/or street running. It doesn't need to fulfill the same strenght and crash requirements of heavy rail and is more likely intended to be used without proper platforms etc. It may also feature much larger capacity than a bus. Or much smaller.
Tldr: different legislation brackets
Bonus: it is possible for a vehicle to fulfill both requirements, but railbuses are too small for that to typically be economically viable

They do on the main train that runs between Sunol and Niles, but not on the railbus

One time I decided to use the conductor's side emergency handle and the engineer that said, "Go on, do it!" immediately regretted it. The whole cab filled with dust.

/n/ was created to be the train board, with other forms of public transit as an afterthought. Bike faggots are the invaders. You belong on /xs/ with the mountain bikes and skaters.

I think back when this car was in revenue service, this room was mainly used for luggage/light freight storage, now it's used by the crew so they can run the train in reverse, watching the and communicating via shortrange radio.

I've been on the Mount Hood Railway and some of their dining cars use unsecured seating.
