Get the Fourth Rail mug.A phrase used by railfans to designate when the headlights of an approaching train are visible glinting off the railroad tracks ahead of the train around a corner, usually before the train itself is visible.
Strictly, it is a “quiet on the set”, as the headlight glint warns of an approaching train and allows a few seconds for background noise to be minimized for when the train actually appears. This provides railroad enthusiasts with pristine sound in their videos of the passing train.
Pragmatically, it is a way for dorky train nerds to dorkily tell other dorky train nerds “ooh, a twain is coming!”

Get the rail mug.A type of weapon that is capable of discharging projectiles at unbelievably high velocities. In this day and age, a railgun is capable of firing a projectile with such velocity because it can use electromagnetism.
Railguns are the future of how nuclear weapons can be launched. Nuclear missiles usually undergo 4 phases, some of which have problems....but with a railgun, there are less required phases, and it's apparently inexpensive! And that's not even the scariest thing.....you know how nuclear missiles are shot down? It's because nuclear missiles burn propellant, and interception technology can pinpoint it, and shoot down the incoming nuke with ease....however, with a railgun, the missile doesn't have to burn any propellant, and therefore it is INVISIBLE!!
Thus, railguns are capable of launching nuclear missiles that can be considered "invisible nuclear missiles"....the thought of that is VERY frightening. And yet, strategic and effective.

"The railgun technology was popularized not just by Quake, but particularly by Metal Gear Solid. Metal Gear Rex, in MGS, has a right arm that is a massive railgun."
