That’s a good point, fair enough.
Comment on Whoever wrote this headline has never encountered a passenger train before in their lives
Fermion@feddit.nl 3 weeks agoThe title says worlds first all-electric train rather than worlds first all-battery-powered train. There have been many all-electric trains before. So the title as written is incorrect.

Electric trains actually predate diesel, noted as far back as the 30s. Subways kind of needed something that didn’t emit smoke and fumes

Volk’s electric railway, 1883. Only a narrow gague tourist type thing but still technically a passenger railway.
