"Interestingly enough the city's greatest natural asset its lush vegetation and gently rolling topography which eighty years ago enabled Druid Hills to become one of the most beautiful Olmstedian garden suburbs in North America distinguishes Atlanta's highway architecture from suburban office complexes in other boom towns like Houston and Tampa.". In 1784 James Watt a Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer patented a design for a steam locomotive Watt had improved the steam engine of Thomas Newcomen hitherto used to pump water out of mines and developed a reciprocating engine in 1769 capable of powering a wheel This was a large stationary engine powering cotton mills and a variety of machinery; the state of boiler technology necessitated the use of low pressure steam acting upon a vacuum in the cylinder which required a separate condenser and an air pump Nevertheless as the construction of boilers improved Watt investigated the use of high-pressure steam acting directly upon a piston raising the possibility of a smaller engine that might be used to power a vehicle Following his patent Watt's employee William Murdoch produced a working model of a self-propelled steam carriage in that year, Fayette (463/sq mi) Intercity trains are long-haul trains that operate with few stops between cities Trains typically have amenities such as a dining car Some lines also provide over-night services with sleeping cars Some long-haul trains have been given a specific name Regional trains are medium distance trains that connect cities with outlying surrounding areas or provide a regional service making more stops and having lower speeds Commuter trains serve suburbs of urban areas providing a daily commuting service Airport rail links provide quick access from city centres to airports, The General Assembly in Savannah.

Electric locomotives draw power from a stationary source via an overhead wire or third rail Some also or instead use a battery in locomotives that are powered by high voltage alternating current a transformer in the locomotive converts the high voltage low current power to low voltage high current used in the traction motors that power the wheels Modern locomotives may use three-phase AC induction motors or direct current motors Under certain conditions electric locomotives are the most powerful traction.[citation needed] They are also the cheapest to run and provide less noise and no local air pollution.[citation needed] However they require high capital investments both for the overhead lines and the supporting infrastructure as well as the generating station that is needed to produce electricity Accordingly electric traction is used on urban systems lines with high traffic and for high-speed rail. 5.6 Energy use and production 81 198.
