Yay, new story !

Good story. I think it could be explored deeper, but it says just the necesary to drive the point home. Good work

This has a "john Henry" vibe to it....SHALL READ LATER

I enjoyed it. I agree with Promontory's outlook. As long as you're alive, you can improve.

I can't help but feel as if I've read this story before.

>>15489181548918

I can almost guarantee that you have.  It just didn't have ponies in it.

Nice idea.

I liked it, but the shortness as well as the fact that we only get a pedestrian-like view of the situation means that it was more on the 'meh' side for my taste. I still did upvote, though.

Still, it might be my inherent sort of academic background in chemistry and economics that poisons these things for me, since my natural intuitive impulse when I see media pundits talking about new technology destroys jobs and when I read stories like these here is for me blanch and call out "no, science is the future; you kill private scientific development, you kill the future". That was not the intent with this story at all, but I guess the well is poisoned for me since I'm tired of seeing real-life idiots say that technology is bad for U.S. jobs and we should simply "make do with less".

It's not an event-driven story—in fact, it's more of a scene or vignette than a story, which is just how I like it.

You nailed the feelings, you nailed the atmosphere, and you left the rest up to the reader to interpret for themselves.  Good on ya for taking your audience seriously.

Saw the title, thought "MURDER BALL WITH PONIES?! OMFG!!!!" Read the description, decided to read it anyways.

Good job with this. I loved it. I feel that it could be written into a longer piece of fiction though. Only if you wantedto of course

Excellent work as always; different, but I dig it. Are you gonna do many others like this? Would dig that.

>Trains don't need to eat. They also don't have families to take care of.

Fucking liar, I feed my train and his children 3 times a day, 7 days a week! You must be crazy. Go feed your train, you fucking asswipe.

op is lie

>>15514901551490 I call bull.  I'm in a railroad club, so don't try to out-locomotive me.  I know what I'm talking about.  I'm always willing to spread the word to the ignorant masses like you, though.  If you want to learn how to be an expert on railroads like I am, I can train you.

That's right.  We're getting puns in this bitch.

>>15515061551506

Bitch, please. I have owned a train farm for the last 13 years of my life, and I spend hours, on a daily basis(as said above), carefully measuring my food for each of my trains. Clearly, you are just being a pretentious asshole who does not actually understand how trains work.

No, that is not right. We are not getting puns in this bitch.

>>15515171551517 Wait a minute?  Farm?  You do know you can just buy them from GE and EMD, right?

>>15515261551526

No need to buy trains when they are reproducing on their own!

>>15517261551726 Pfft. Who don't need no train! I Got a TaRDiS!

Well, that was at the same time more and less sad than I thought it'd be (don't ask me how that works I don't know) It certainly could have gone on longer, but I like it the way it is

>>15515171551517>>15515261551526

I thought I was going to say something but I lost my train of thought. Oh, well, trains are as good a thing to argue about as anything else, as long as no one starts spewing stuff for crazy reasons. We don't want no loco motives driving us off track. Nope.

Promontory Point was where the Transcontinential Railroad was finished.

I see what you did there, TNaB.
