There’s just something about trains that are inherently satisfying, that I can’t put my finger on…

That’s true, but as always the auxiliary systems (and to an extent the main driving system) have become computer controlled.

But trains are much greener than motor vehicles, that’s for sure.

My mom made me a cardboard Thomas the Tank Engine costume when I was young and still wanted to be a train. Sometimes I wish I hadn't given up on my dreams.
