Train Frame

If I was the Mayor of London or the Leader of my country, I would have a frame built around trains that operate on the surface. The top of the frame would be covered in solar panels, the sides of the frame would be covered in vertical trays that grow herbs. It would look something like this ⬇️

The solar panels wouldn't power the trains directly but would export the power back to the grid, the power exported would be more than the trains use so it would increase revenue to the transport sector and help to keep the running cost down. The herbs growing on the side of the frame would be harvested by robots and dried inside a cavity below the solar panels, the dried herbs would be sold to produce markets, the bodies of the herbs would absorb carbon dioxide. They would also make the train lines look less ugly. The inside of the frame would be covered in reflective metallic panels that reflect light from the train cabin. 

I am just an ordinary guy but I can draw and share my thoughts and hope that leaders are inspired by them. If there is one thing I am grateful for, it is my imagination, a sweet gift for an ordinary man like myself. 

Constructive thoughts.
