There are plenty of trains adapted for climbing steep slopes. The funicular railway uses slotted tracks that allow cog-like wheels to get extra tracking while moving along steep routes.
It's also a pretty fun name if you ask me 😁

The third rail on some rail lines is to provide electricity to the trains. It's kinda like a really long feeding trough for the train, and I wouldn't want to get between a multi-ton mode of transportation and its lunch!

Tanks are related to trains. They've re-adapted to bring their tracks along with them, rather than needing to have pre-placed tracks that modern, domesticed trains need.

Unlike traveling by car, when you ride on a train you don't have to worry about bad drivers nearly as often! Conductors go through significantly more training than the average motorist.

Trains don't mind the cold weather as long as they're well maintained. You can see what a well maintained train can handle in the factual documentary the Polar Express.

Trains don't go to heaven when they die. Instead, their bodies are taken apart and used to make and repair other trains. That's sort of like reincarnation, if you think about it 🧐

A beloved train will dutifully ride along its rails in a smooth fashion. If you have an easy ride, you can count on that train being taken care of.

Some trains will yell at you if you stand in their doors while at the station. If you try this while moving, you'll probably fall out.

You cannot bully a train. This is because you weigh (on average) between 170.5-199.8lbs and a train weighs 3,000 and 18,000 tons.
