I don't get why a train AI would need so much power, how hard is it to drive a train?
Will the nuclear reactors be on the train with the AI, or will it be some sort of wired transfer?
I assume they can power the train AI by pantograph or third rail - no reason to have nuclear powered trains, this isn't Factorio.
