[edit] South Hemisphere

I don't think that Japan should be placed under the South Hemisphere section. It is neither both in geographic nor the economical kind of meaning.

[edit] "Rapid transit" locomotives

We should probably mention briefly that the term was originally used in the U.S. for a certain kind of small-locomotive operation both on the Els and on streets. [1] (warning: many images; made my browser crawl) shows the Long Island Rail Road's "rapid transit" system on Atlantic Avenue from 1877 to ca. 1910; I think the Els originally used similar locomotives. --NE2 23:53, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
