The idea of a Navy train made me wonder whether something like this existed. Apparently it does.

But that CG Railway is private enterprise moving trains between North and South America. But damn you, you got me curious too. :haha:
Yes the US Navy has trains, with yellow engines and gray rolling stock. The largest is in Crane, IN, at the Navel Surface Warfare Center there. There are smaller ones around the country, at least one in NJ and a couple in CA, I could find. The locomotives are mostly electric or diesel/electric, so don’t toot-toot like Popeye. They are all involved with moving things that go boom. Moving munitions from inland stores to warships in port, or around various munitions storage and testing facilities. |

British railroads were the standard...

So apparently speed limits are sometimes important.

No 5820 leaves Oakworth station on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway in West Yorkshire. This is a rather unusual sight as most heritage lines run the old work horses from the heyday of British steam. Quote:

You can't stand in the way of progress and in 1922/23 the Metropolitan-Vickers electric loco was introduced.
Attachment 63169 Dad commuted into London in the late fifties to early sixties during the last days of steam and remembers these machines. Trains from Aylesbury and points north would pause to uncouple the steam engine at Rickmansworth and continue, electric hauled, to Baker Street and beyond. Out of the twenty built two remain. One is in the London Transport museum and another, Sarah Siddons, is preserved in running order for special occasions, enthusiast trips, etc. As a bonus, there's a steam loco on the other end. |

I wonder how effective those skis at the front are for steering that massive thing. I'd imagine skid steering would work better.
