Regenerative braking generates electricity and there's really no reason modern trains wouldn't use them.
Another approach that can be used when initially building the system is to have a slope leading into/out of stations so that energy can be stored as gravitional potential. I know the Montreal Metro was built this way.
- dtgriscom 4y agoYour second point was stated exactly in the parent of your parent comment.
- jamincan 4y agoI don't think that's correct. @pbhjpbhj talks about magnetic braking and some sort of pneumatic braking. The sibling to his comment by @fredley mentions it, but I don't recall seeing that yet when I posted mine.
