this is one of the first mainline electric locomotives in the world, and this exact locomotive, number 6000, still survives (barely) in a forest cut off from the rail network with another historically significant electric locomotive

Insane that the US still doesn't have high speed rail.
I agree, we need a high speed rail network desperately, but we do have the Acela if you want to get technical, She barely meets the definition of HSR, but she meets it, so we technically have a little bit of HSR between DC and New York
