Concept for powering trains

Describe the Suggestion

It would be consisting of: new block that gets linked with rails in same fashion as stations and similar, one would apply Rotation power to it and it would make rail powered. Each train would take several RPM depending on its bogey count and speed level.
The whole logic would be off by default so it does not break existing saves...

Additional Context

Just like one powers trains IRL, but adapted to Create

commented

You know trains run on electricity from rails too? Either from third or fourth one as big ones, or from running ones as in model trains, that was what I meant.

commented

train arent powered like this in real life they either run on diesel or electricity provided by the overhead cables

commented

instead of overhead cables use a shaft that runs parallel to the track. on the train there could be some kind of power receiver block
