| Interesting way of transportation. |
Rail transport is the conveyance of passengers and
goods by means of wheeled vehicles running along
railways in British and Australian English (or railroads
in US English). Railway transport is part of the
logistics chain, which facilitates international
trade and economic growth. Rail transport is capable
of high capacity and is energy efficient, but lacks
flexibility and is capital intensive.
It consists of trains running along a permanent
way, consisting of steel track on ties and ballast.
Alongside is a signalling system and sometimes an
electrification system. The rolling stock, fitted
with metal wheels, moves with low frictional resistance
when compared with road vehicles. The operation
is carried out by a railway company, providing transport
between train stations. Power is prived by a steam
engine, diesel engine or electrical transmission.
