Zhilikam t'Shefek-Yut

The Vulcans had a period in their past when they had an extensive rail system on their planet, much like the railroads of Earth. Unlike Earth and several other planets, this system of transportation was abandoned with the development of more advanced technology, such as low-cost flight and transporters. Their steam age was very short, quickly replaced by various hydrocarbon-based fuels, electricity and nuclear power. This form of transportation ended before more modern forms of power were developed. There is now little trace of rail transportation on Vulcan since the vehicles and rails were recycled due to limited iron and steel. Only two Vulcan locomotives survived the centuries and both are in a technology museum in the capital city. The only thing now on Vulcan anything like a train are the horizontal travel tubes in metropolitan areas.
