Re: Tangaras are crap

And so are the G/N/A/B/E classes :-)

They all have a cab at both ends, and all run from electricity. Except, 
that all (besides the E) generate their electricity on the fly (i.e. with a 
diesel generator). :-) <g,d,r,ef!>

But, if we pedanticise[1] it down a little more, a train can be defined as 
consisting of two cars or more, in which case, we can call the push/pull 
Bacchus Marsh, Sunbury trains, EMU's because of the P's at both ends. :-)

[1] is there such a word?
