don't have to go that far to find anomalies. I generally agree about train length, but 3 car 'light rail'--six bodies on 9 trucks as
is nearly as long as a 6 car CTA L train and certainly as long as a 5 car Path Train.

OTOH, Path trains from 33rd to Hoboken, or even JSQ are fairly short end to end compared to Sacramento's Fulton branch or Portland's Hillsboro to Airport line.

So as to speed, as other threads recently have pointed out NYCT subway trains are very slow compared to 6o years ago, whereas some light rail systems are fast on suburbanstretches of fenced off ROW.

The categories don't work well. But as Associate Justice Louis Powell once said with regard to pornography, I can't define it but I recognize when I see it;Which is of course aphilosophical paradox.
