The “nice smooth trains” that commenters are talking about use a pantograph, transformer and small on-board battery, and can go a small distance (few kms) through tunnels and between track segments with the pantograph lowered.
The power system after the battery is similar to older model electric vehicles.
- Symbiote 2y agoThere's no battery for the motors. A train can easily coast through a tunnel etc without any power. (There will be a battery for lights etc.)
