Re: [lojban-beginners] {trene3} is weird



Here is the definition I have. Maybe it's obsolete now. 
x1 is a train [vehicle] of cars/units x2 (mass) for rails/system/railroad x3, propelled by x4. 
[a railed vehicle or train of vehicles; also subway (tu'unre'e), metro, trolley, tramway (= lajre'e), roller coaster; monorail (= dadre'e); cable car, sky car, ski lift (= cildadre'e)]

It seems pretty clear to me that it's talking only about railed transport systems and not caravans or animals.

    What if a train moves from one railroad to another one?

It doesn't/cannot.  It may move from one set of tracks to another, but it remains part of the same rail system.

The generic English definition closest to x1 of trene is:
"a succession of vehicles or pack animals traveling in the same direction"

If one goes to a generic train, such as a caravan, there may be no iron-tracks at all.  The caravan may travel on a highway system, or perhaps it is camels traveling on the x3 "The Silk Road" (from the Middle East to China)

It becomes a trene fi a different railroad.

    All places of any given brivla must be inherent and inseparable. How
    can trene3 be inherent if usually train cars are constructed and
    trains can be assembled without having any particular railroad in mind?

Rail train cars may be owned by several organizations, but the railroad is operated by a single one, which assembles those cars into a train.
