    Suddenly trains everyhwere.

    I wonder how Equestria got trains.

    Fluttershy did say train in A Bird in a Hoof, but there was no trains at that time?

    Oh come on, I had to. :p

    Personally I think Equestria hit some sort of industrial revolution.

    I mean, we have the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 to think about as well. Maybe they're just coming up with a new form of locomo-o-o-o-tion.

    well, if they have video games, I suppose they have electricity, and everything that came before, including trains.
    (for video games, closely watch Hearts and Hooves day episode)

    Steam technology is pretty old stuff and stayed around as a propulsion technology all the way up into the 50s in America. Anthracite coal is ideal for burning and is likely in rich abundance in Equestria as it is on earth. It's unsurprising that eventually somepony would invent steam technology and implement it in trains. It makes me wonder if Steam tech is a recent invention in trains or if the one seen in Season 1: Over a Barrel, was broken and being pulled to a place where it could be repaired...

    The ponies have human level intelligence, coupled with the magic of unicorns, so it was only a matter of time before they were able to build thier world up. Magic elimating the problem of no hands ; )
