The general absence of electric trains in factorio kills my immersion. Like yeah, they would make nuclear powered trains obsolete but overhead wire already makes that an insane proposition in real life.
I’m currently using space trains, along with the space exploration mod. The trains run on batteries, and they are blazingly fast. I easily lose track of them through my orbital rail grid.
I like to think of it as even worse. It’s likely that the drivetrains themselves are already electric and just running on coal gas, oil, or nuclear power plants to electric like our current locomotive engines. You’re just too dumb to figure out how to wire your powergrid to them. It’s like the US cargo train situation in a nutshell.

There are mods for that, plus some overhauls like Krastorio 2 add nuclear trains
It’s because they don’t want to trivialize the refueling puzzle part of the game.

You play as a dumb dumb who can’t comprehend electric trains

Bruh the game is not trying to immerse you it’s a puzzle.
I’m glad I was able to immerse you in the seriousness of my opinion.
There is a mod for that, https://mods.factorio.com/mod/ElectricTrains
There’s a mod for electric trains. Actually there are several.
