“In any case, Your Highness, even with a full complement of fully trained earth pony stallions for haulage, these trains are slow by modern standards..."


“The ponies I represent do not believe that style of Dragon Only Operation is safe. Imagine an airborne DOO train where the dragon tired or became ill..."

Flaws. None, but I'd enjoy it even more if I understood trains.

HS2, am I right? (UK ponies will understand.)

Final thought. All aboard the train hype, hype train!
