Even though trains had been around awhile, they could not run efficiently on poor quality tracks. Their tracks were too brittle.
trains have improved by being a solid unlike they wasn't in the 1900
Efficient
1) Maglev is a much better way to move people and freight than by existing modes. It is cheaper, faster, not congested, and has a much longer service life2)Maglev is very energy efficient. Unlike autos, trucks, and airplanes, Maglev does not burn oil, but instead consumes electricity, which can be produced by coal-fired, nuclear, hydro, fusion, wind, or solar power plants (the most efficient source now being nuclear).
The wagon trains were to form a circle when they were being attacked.
Yes, trains are still being used today in large quantities.
Trains both were and are very efficient means of transportation, both for freight and passengers. However following WW2 the car companies and the oil companies decided to shut down all existing commuter trains to increase their profits, they bought up the lines and either switched them to diesel buses or simply shut them down and selling the steel rails as scrap. Later these same companies lobbied Congress to subsidize highways and the airlines, stealing much long distance business from the railroads.Without the funds to maintain the rails properly speeds had to be reduced, making trains look even less attractive to potential customers.

To be efficient means to be quick and effective at a job or task.
Some do, some don't. In Europe at least, an increasing number of long distance trains have an electricity socket. Local trains are unlikely to have an socket. These are being added as trains are re-furbished, or in new trains, often in first class only as an incentive to travellers to choose first class.
He is probably nervous to talk to you or something. Maybe he's embarrassed? It doesn't necessarily mean he's being mean if he won't talk to you...he could just be nervous around you. It really depends on age. if you are in year 9 but he is younger than you does it mean anything like 12. aw that's cute he may be very shy and doesn't have the confidence to talk to girls.
There are a step in the right direction to being energy efficient. Although some adjustments are still being made.
