EMU

Acronym for: electric multiple unit is a train consisting of self-propelled carriages or coaches using electricity as the motive power. An EMU requires no separate locomotive, as electric traction motors are incorporated within one or a number of the carriages. An EMU is usually formed of two or more semi-permanently coupled carriages, but electrically powered single-unit railcars are also generally classed as EMUs. Also there is the DMU (Diesel Multiple Unit) it’s sort of like an EMU but powered by a diesel engine. EMUs are more popular in many commuter and railroad companies than DMU because they have a faster acceleration and they are pollution-free

Examples of Emus:

Kawasaki M9
Jersey Arrow
Septa sliverliner
Budd Metroliner
Pennsylvania railroad MP54
Stadler KISS
Lirr/MNRR Bombardier M7
Subway trains (eg R160, R179🍋, R142A)

Emu

A strong and powerful tank. Can survive getting shot by an M60.
These creatures are like tanks with feathers. Humans fought a war against them, we lost. (- The Great Emu War)

The Emu’s just kept coming, no matter how many times we fired they just kept coming. With every death came another 12.
