In computational complexity theory, the complexity class EXPTIME (sometimes called EXP) is the set of all decision problems solvable by a deterministic Turing machine in O(2p(n)) time, where p(n) is a polynomial function of n.
Exp is an Italian group which released several dance singles in the 1990s, great hits particularly in the discothèques.
The mathematical constant e is the unique real number such that the value of the derivative (slope of the tangent line) of the function f(x) = ex at the point x = 0 is equal to 1.
Abandoned track?
One thing that makes this abandoned track shot different from other abandoned track shots is that the track isn't actually abandoned. In fact, it sees five round trips a week. Note the nose of the unit sitting way down the track in this shot. There are two units waiting at the CSX diamond for Monday to get here so the crew can slowly take their train along these rails toward Chadbourn, NC.
It was pointed out on Carolina Rails by Warren Calloway that ACL used to run passenger trains on this line. My guess is that they ran on these actual, literal rails. A few miles past the power down the line, the rails are unused and under weeds. A little way below that, rails have actually been taken up after being abandoned in the 1980s.
