No traction motors on the adjoining cars. The little yellow train is a Stadler GTW 2/6 (2 of six axles powered.)

Yes, I know, the Little Yellow Train has to climb 6% grades. I don't know how a 2/6 set up can do that either.

Sounds from the unit are pure electric plus view from the top shows no mufflers.

The laws of physics suggest the future is predetermined, leading some physicists to say that it is impossible for free will to exist.

One of the most bizarre films ever made. It really is so baaaad that it goes beyond camp and becomes "good". A near perfect example of how not to make a movie. Never have so many people worked so hard to accomplish so little and to do so across ALL of the disciplines in movie making. Writing, casting, acting, "set design", photography, "music" ..... ALL spectacularly bad! I guess if you are going to fail, do so on a grand scale.
