Super Express
The Super Expresses are one of the most interesting constructions found in Comell, hyperspeed trains that can carry some hundred people across continents and oceans in an hour or two such as the trendsetting trailblazer of the Super Expresses- King Torrent.
King Torrent (wheel arrangement: 3-20-8) handled the Green line the Eiglim-Clerrrot line- Eiglim being Comaheim’s capital and Clerrrot being one of Voltsada’s 3 capitals the Westmost capital. It now runs the New Century line, colloquially called the Silver Line, now King Torrent is both the trend setter and the most experimental the locomotive is power by both Tessra Generation and Steam alongside Makai Sigilwork all this together allows these trains to easily reach 12k kmph with King Torrent reaching over 15k during a speed trail.
As for these locomotive’s methods or power generation the Tessra generator is at once the most interesting and the most simple. Tessra is a mystic metal known most (both notoriously and) famously for its spontaneous electric charge generation, it should be noted that unrefined Tessra has a tendency to store and then suddenly release its charge this goes hand in hand with it prior usage in urban decoration and the rise in spontaneous (and sometimes lethal) electrocution, this has been mitigated with the development of refined Tessra which is also known as Chargestone-Tessra Alloy or simply Tessrim which takes the almost harmlessly produces and stores its own electricity , it should be noted that despite being almost benign its still holding electricity and should you give that stored charge a chance or rather a circuit it will do what electricity does best, now add the conversion cask to turn that rampant charge into usable power and bobs your uncle a safe and effective way to to power your engines add the steam engine in (which I hope you already know how that works) and that’s where the other mystic metal lies the Dragonite boiler these super insulators allow the boiler to be superheated without risking anything nearby and superheated they are as the sigilwork does a lot of the remaining heavy lifting multiplying the thermal energy found in the boiler, minimizing gravitational and wind resistance and most importantly protecting the engine from runaway reactions, and that’s only scratching the surface of the intrigue found in this machine.
All in all the Super Express are one of the most interesting machines found in Temperance 304 at least to me
