Electric Rail

[Gorgestor]

Currently in game we have diesel locomotives that are powered by fuel. What if there was an alternate one that would be powered by electricity via a third rail. The track would have to be a new entity seeing as how the original rail doesn't come with the third rail. A component of this could be copper wire giving additional requirements for copper. The electric train could be required to use electric engine units in its production, only logical. To balance this the train's stats could be more resource intense along with a high power draw that would make it balanced. One additional benefit of using an electric train is you could increase the internal grid size if you wanted. If not a third rail overhanging wires that could be used as large electric poles for bringing power down to the mining operation. Just an idea I'm excited to hear other thoughts.
