Types of Passenger Trains: Train Talk Ep. 12
All aboard! In this episode of Train Talk, we’ll look at the different types of passenger trains you can see running today (aside from light rail and subways – that’s for another episode!). I’ll discuss things such as distance each type of passenger typically travels, what kinds of travelers usually use the trains, and what types of cars you can expect to see on each train.

Us trains are so ugly, the best trains come from Europe and east Asia💪🏾
Great video,it was.More,you should make.
I mean there are Subways too but does that really count? Well I’m from Europe and of course we have a few twists on these formulas. For instance in Copenhagen where I live we have a service called the S train which is kind of a mix between a Subway and a Commuter rail. Personally I use it every weekday to get to where I study. And then of course we have the High speed corridors. In the US. of course there’s atm really only the Acela Express and to some extent the Brightline but these are of course faster than the Intercity trains and make fewer stops like with the French TGV, the German ICE, The Eurostar or the Danish Thundertrain. And then there’s the night trains as the alternative which can generally be split up into the Scandinavian system and the Mid European system with Denmark seperating the 2. Currently the biggest Night train service is the ÖBB Nightjet which runs as far north as Hamburg and as far south as Rome. And of course we have the shortlines. a mode almost extinct in the US. but thriving in Europe. We have a ton of smaller lines in "Rural" areas connecting smaller towns with a timetable more sparse than the mainlines like a train once per hour or every 2 hours. These are normally serviced by either the State railroads or by the regions transportation department and usually use 2 car railbusses like the Siemens Desiro or Coradia Lint41 or in rare cases some Stadler units like those we see on some "Light rails" in the US. (they wouldn’t really count as lightrails in Europe but I’ll give them a pass)

Intercity trains are actually travel between 50 to 750 miles, not 50 to 500 miles.

I love the intercity trains
Tourist train or heritage railroads are my favorite type of passenger trains in the modern era. When you ride a heritage railroad, you’ll go back in time when railroads was the only way to travel in America before airplanes become an easy way to travel begin in the late 1950s.
