[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Jetrock [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by t3488g Trollies don't count because there isd only 1 car, it's like calling a speeder or one of those mow trucks and tractors with rail wheels a train. [/quote] Not where I live--rush-hour light rail trains have as many as four articulated cars. Admittedly, trolley headway would skew the numbers a bit--Market Street trolleys run on an eight-minute headway in San Francisco, after all. But even a single trolley counts as a "train" in terms of scheduling, and it is revenue operation rather than non-revenue--unlike a speeder or hi-rail truck, the trolley is making money by operating! [/quote] four articulated cars is the normal weekday amount here. But on weekends the amount of trains goes from 1 every 5 mins, to 1 every 10 mins and there are about 5-6 articulated cars. and as for trolleys not being trains, from dictionary.com: A series of connected railroad cars pulled or pushed by one or more locomotives.
