i have always had the question what will freight trains 100 years from now be like?

will they have hover conversions and fly like wingless planes

what will power them

or will trains be obsolete replaced by something more efficient

i always picture them having a trimaxion drone chip like this

3 words...Beam it up! Trains will be gone. The transporter will be a reality. So far Star trek has been right a lot.
