THIS exists in M-E?

[Boromir88]

Isn't it interesting that we have more difficulty accepting an express train in the context of Middle-earth than talking dragons?!~Esty

Maybe because readers expect to encounter talking dragons, giant spiders, and the 'ancient' unknown creatures in a fantasy story. But not express trains in a world that has yet to develop full plate armor, or firearms, or motor vehicles . But as has been shown there are anachronisms throughout Tolkien's story.
