Crankit posted:I live kinda near a steam train line, and I saw a video where the carriages had electric lights, how do they generate and distribute the power to run electric lights on a steam train? (Bluebell railway in England) in the past? They ran a turbine and generator in the locomotive. Now.. it's probally generators.

Lime Tonics posted:Here is something I came across today, a train on a boat. I took a trip on the badger two weeks ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Badger It was built as a rail ferry for the C&O. Steam powered boats are spoooooky to ride on. You don't feel the boat move really, and the only indication that there's propulsion is the thump of the pressure waves from the propellor.
