There still plenty to be enthuses with modern trains:
the power, the speed(a car running at 110kph is just not the same as a
train running at 110 kph), luxury, cool looking(Tilt train) and its
friendlyness to the environment.

By the way any chance of seeing these wonderful N class in motion today?
any preservation society owns them??  I really want to see what a
locomotive with soul is like??
