    As little people know, I am doing research. I cannot tell you what for, or why. Just answer the questions and do not ask anything.


    Whats your favorite type of train?


    Have you ever been on a train?

    Do you like modern or classic trains?

    Thats it. Just answer and I will hopefully get back to you.

    Please sir this is important. Do not be like Z_Millla. He somehow got on the topic "Curious George" When I asked him these questions.

    curious george is pretty cool... the man in the yellow hat seems a bit like a pedo to me though... using george to get kids... it just seems... sleezy...


    Do you like trains? yes yes i do...


    Whats your favorite type of train? i assume you are talking locomotives, if i were to have to choose a type of locomotive or engine i would go with a diesel engine, i prefer older styled engines, classic looks, but oddly enough my favorite locomotive is a modern one, the GMD SD60F Candaian National Rail uses a bunch of them, some are retired. but growing up i would always look for them, their paint scheme was fantastic to me, and they had massive hauling capabilites. they would roll into town and hit up the grain elevator before it burnt down, hauling away 100-150 cars of grain a week in the summer... it was amazing to watch for me.

    heres a picture... :)

    Have you ever been on a train? never while moving... tresspassed onto a few...

    Do you like modern or classic trains? i love the look of the old coal fired engines, the classic western feel... but when you get right down to it, the sleek power of a diesel locomotive engine is what makes me love trains. i prefer watching trains that are hauling exposed goods, and not consumer goods carts... meaning log haulers, cattle trains, gravel trains, coal haulers, are more interesting to me that a consumer good sea can on a train... in northern alberta there is a ton of oil cars, those are pretty neat, the brakeing system on the oil cars is more exposed due to their shape, so thats cool.

    the only good thing about the consumer goods cars is the fact that they stop in big cities and sometimes get some really nice graffiti on them... but that is also why i love the open good haulers, very seldomly do they have graffitii on them...

    oh and i have been on many city transport systems like calgary's Ctrain and Edmonton system... plus street cars and the like... i dont put those into the train catagory as they are not real trains in my opinion... they are weak imitations...

    a train i would love to see in person is the sonic type trains that run in japan and china now... 300+_ KM/hr! use electromagnets to essentially hover above the tracks... thats a freaking cool piece of tech.

    Whats your favorite type of train?
    I like trains. I don't research into them so I'd have to say Thomas the train. But really idk so i guess it would be passenger? not sure if that is specific enough.

    Have you ever been on a train?
    I like trains. Yes.

    Do you like modern or classic trains?
    I like trains. Modern trains are too main stream. I prefer the bullet trains which would be modern.

    pictchas!
