1. This may be a drawing but is a very
good representation of a cable/train
car. It is very open and big for
passengers. With the wheels so close
together is would seem as though the
car may get tipsy when the weight is
too far forward or back.

With this commuter train we can see
how modular it is and the big doors
allow the passengers plenty of room
to move from car to car. This looks to
be a train from the Chicago area. The
lights help let the train be seen in the
dark.
2. The very thin walls and height of
these train cars let them carry a
whole lot of coal. When combined
together as in the picture they can
ship tons of stuff.

Despite the people standing in front
of the car, we can still see the
caboose as a whole. With the extra
section on the roof the conductor in
the rear of the train could see all the
other cars in the train making sure
they were lined up properly.
3. This train car is streamlined because
it would be more aerodynamic and
fuel efficient if this is a coal or fuel
powered train.
This particular train looks to be a high
speed train because of the
aerodynamic shape and the shape of
the front car creating downforce so
the train will not become airborne.
The box around the front of the train
looks like it could be used to connect
another train car to the front or as a
battering ram demonstrated in this
picture.
4. The overall design of this engine is
pretty god considering the age of this
picture. The high center of gravity
and the smoke stack being shorter
than the window creates problems.
Being tipping around a corner and
smoke inhalation.
This train has windows that are
covered with a white material. If this
is a passenger train car the covered
up windows were a bad idea. It would
be very dark in the train and you
would not know where you are going.
This passenger car is now a house.
For this to be a house means this car
is sealed very well. The roof is sloped
for water to run off the house, as
they are in a forest area, where it
rains a lot.
5. The train must be very compact to fit
in the airplane or the airplane must
be big. ( A front loading plane!) The
train looks like a brick that slaps the
wind. This does not look very
aerodynamic.
The shape of the train does not look
very aerodynamic, but because it is
not the first car I can see the benefits
of this shape. Also I like the
advertisement on the side of the car.
They get profit from the ad and the
tickets.
6. This is a very streamlined train car
and is not very attractive looking.
Therefore we can conclude it is not a
passenger car.
Even though this a model train, the
car looks cool. It is streamlined,
colored well and will pass as a
suitable passenger car for anyone. I
also like the glass on the roof. Maybe
this is a caboose?
I am questioning the placement of
the train tracks being so close
together? Or why did this guy think
this is a parking spot? The train is
built very strong as I do not see any
damage.
