@sarahjeong When I think of a choo-choo, I think of a smokestack that I don't associate with subway trains. Not sure if others feel the same

@CasinoGrande modern above-grounds don't have smokestacks and they are certainly choo-choos -
@sarahjeong I agree with you that trains are choo-choos, a subway train is a train and should therefore be a choo-choo, but when I saw that -
@sarahjeong question, my mind's first instinct was that subway trains are not choo-choos. I'm not sure if it's because I don't know that any -
@sarahjeong subway train has had a smokestack. -
@sarahjeong I can't think of an appropriate metaphor. It's like if you Pokemon-style devolved an above-ground train to its first form, -
@sarahjeong it would have a choo-choo creating stack, whereas an underground subway train wouldn't? That's assuming they evolve in parallel? -
@sarahjeong I share your frustration. I am just trying to figure out my own mental parsing of the situation.
