| The Electric Train t-shirt "Electric" is a train that is inspired by the fast trains found in the north east US and over seas. We are talking about the Amtrak Acela, Bullet Train, TGV, and other fast electric trains. These are not as well known to kids and toddlers that do not live in areas that have a fast train service. When kids see these for the first time though they like them right away. There is a different kind of power and sense of awe with these machines. Because they are so sleek and modern looking they invoke thoughts about the future and even space travel. Our boys train shirts are intended to capture a bit of this feeling. Have you ever traveled on the TGV and just been AMAZED at how fast bridges and telephone poles are swooshing by when it gets up to top speed?? Yes, it is really something! |

More Information...
All orders are shipped via the USPS and include our custom truck box so you will not miss it when it arrives in your mailbox. The t-shirt(s) are folded neatly inside with packing slip (up to 4 per box). We use no plastic bags for safety and environmental reasons. Shirts That Go! t-shirts make really nice gifts and the packaging delights the kids and grownups alike.
Our boys train shirts all feature very soft t-shirt material. We are talking about 100% American ring spun cotton that is made in the USA by American Apparel.
Our shirts are printed in USA using direct to garment (DTG) printing technology. With DTG the printed image is just as smooth as the rest of the unprinted areas of the shirt! In addition, we are able to use eco friendly water based inks and still deliver brilliant colors with smooth contrasts.

An electric locomotive is a locomotive powered by electricity from an external source. Sources include overhead lines, third rail, or an on-board electricity storage device such as a battery, flywheel system, or fuel cell.
Electrically propelled locomotives with on-board fueled prime movers, such as diesel engines or gas turbines, are classed as diesel-electric or gas turbine electric locomotives because the electric generator/motor combination only serves as a power transmission system.
One advantage of electrification is the lack of pollution from the locomotives themselves. Electrification also results in higher performance, lower maintenance costs, and lower energy costs for electric locomotives.
Power plants, even if they burn fossil fuels, are far cleaner than mobile sources such as locomotive engines. Also the power for electric locomotives can come from clean and/or renewable sources, including geothermal power, hydroelectric power, nuclear power, solar power, and wind turbines. Electric locomotives are also quiet compared to diesel locomotives since there is no engine and exhaust noise and less mechanical noise. The lack of reciprocating parts means that electric locomotives are easier on the track, reducing track maintenance.
Power plant capacity is far greater than what any individual locomotive uses, so electric locomotives can have a higher power output than diesel locomotives and they can produce even higher short-term surge power for fast acceleration. Electric locomotives are ideal for commuter rail service with frequent stops. They are used on all high-speed lines, such as ICE in Germany, Acela in the US, Shinkansen in Japan and TGV in France. Electric locomotives are also used on freight routes that have a consistently high traffic volume, or in areas with advanced rail networks.
Electric locomotives benefit from the high efficiency of electric motors, often above 90%. Additional efficiency can be gained from regenerative braking, which allows kinetic energy to be recovered during braking to put some power back on the line. Newer electric locomotives use AC motor-inverter drive systems that provide for regenerative braking.
