I am reminded of how so many anime gives characters from Osaka a southern drawl accent in English dubs and even that requires knowing that a lot of people in Japan consider Osaka to be a backwater full of rednecks for it to make sense.

I find it interesting when they try to translate a specific dialect. It's done several ways.

Most countries had periods with steam locomotion so they would probably understand the idea though it would probably fell jarringly anachronistic.

Though i guess diesel/electric also toot and you probably shouldn't be fixing your socks over crossings on those either
