I finally realized why I love trains.
I’ve loved trains all my life.
My first memory is of me waiting at a small town station for a train back home, I tape subway maps to my bedroom wall, I commute by train, and I pay for those trips with a train shaped keychain-NFCcard.
But whenever someone asks me “what do you like about trains?” I’ve always failed to find an adequate answer.
Today I have that answer. (It’s a convoluted one though)
Another thing I love is machinery. Not just any machinery, large scale stationary machinery, like those factory assembly lines with conveyor belts (If I liked any machinery I’d be into cars 🤢) I’m a big fan of how them and their intricate parts work together to perform a purpose and perform it well, the sheer scale is so astonishing too.
Now how does this tie into trains?
Well, if you think about it, a good rail system is just like a huge machine. The trains and the rails, the stations , the signaling, the ticket gates and so much more working together as one big, intricate machine transporting potentially millions a day.
If one assembly line is enough to make me happy, then it’s obvious that these often nation spanning systems just make my serotonin receptors fucking overheat.
I mean, it all makes so much sense.
I prefer ground level or elevated lines the same way I prefer it when I can see the inside of a machine instead of it being covered.
My heart aches when I see the American rail system same way it does looking at a broken machine
My unbridled disdain for cars as non stationary relatively small machinery
God I fucking love trains
I’m so happy I found the reason
Anyways have a train pic :3
