minus-squarewishthane@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 years agoI assume they can power the train AI by pantograph or third rail - no reason to have nuclear powered trains, this isn’t Factorio.

minus-squareBuffalox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoYeah tell me about it, I only have bad conductors.
