Talk:Rail transport
From Black Mesa: Wiki
Rename Page?
Maybe I'm just being picky here, but the article is named 'Monorail Transport'. However the train as it appears in Black Mesa isn't a monorail like it was in Half-Life, but a triple rail system (Do they have a name for those?). So seeing as the Materials Transport System isn't a Monorail in this mod, I'm thinking the page should be renamed to Rail Transport. --Mr. Someguy, 10 July 2010
- You are right. I haven't noticed that subtle (!) detail when I made the article. "Rail Transport" is a good name to use in this case. I'll rename the article and adapt the text to reflect the changes. Thanks for pointing this.
- By the way seems that the third rail in the materials transport is actually an electric conductor for the trams, and not a real rail. So that kind of triple rail system don't have a name itself, as explained here. (Of course don't quote me on that, because I'm not a rail expert or a BM dev, but it apparently fits in the design changes of the mod. Just for curiosity.) --Conti 22:26, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
