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.

If your train has a bad conductor, it will require more power.

Yeah tell me about it, I only have bad conductors.

This is how we end up with Blaine the Mono

Not sure if you're making fun or actually not understanding? To clarify, they need the power for training AI models. No trains are involved, neither passenger nor cargo – though atom powered trains sounds interesting as well!

Thank you, you are very kind. It was meant as a joke.
