If someone knows tonnage and cost (and preferably a manufacturer too) for new electric locomotives (preferably non italian make too :-D)
@me
Inb4 chinktrain.jog
wikipedia definitely has articles, I belive there's transparent info to be had about the swedish transit system
just a lead, don't take my word for it
Yeah been searching for stuff this morning
When tervy deletes all his accounts following the new appointment of head of finnish transportation we will finally know his face.
:D
I know our sr1 to 3 quite well
'We found the most autistic of us all to lead us'
But their cost is the largest question mark

John why are you awake
Just calculating how much it would cost to drive my own locomotive :D
I hope you guys pre-ordered Death Stranding © ® A Hideo Kojima game ™
(Not really but lets play like it was true)
Why would I wanna pay videogame prices for a movie

You just don't get the genius of Kojmbo
Classic kojima. Runs a company literally into the ground and his fans still love him
I think the most expensive part of that would be in infrastructure if youre going by a tram model
Or like a fueling hub where trains are quick charged
It costs 1400 per 100km if the train weights 100 tons
<:kizunaNo:392899963295891456>
Current tr1 1980 ones weight 80 so its tad cheaper
(Assuming all electric usage and no other costs)
if the info isn't out there you can absolutely request that information
Running costs are like the last thing to consider for these things, I imagine.
Building infrastructure is stupidly expensive
<:kizunaStare:385945680688054283>
How much are parts, engineers, maintaince, random regulations
Also optimal layout. Who owns that land you wanna change? And what if they don't sell
<:kizunaStare:385945680688054283>
Fair. So an electric freight train?
If we assume 60ish ton 120 person csrt there
Its about 2100e per 100km with large extra margins ofc
(Locomotive and cart combined)
That cost includes electricity and rail usage etc
