A "Work Train" is a specialized type of train used primarily for maintenance and construction tasks on railway tracks. These trains are equipped with tools and machinery necessary for repairing tracks, signals, and other infrastructure. They help ensure the safety and efficiency of the railway system by allowing workers to perform their duties directly on-site. Work trains can carry various types of equipment, such as cranes, dump cars, and ballast regulators. They are often seen during scheduled maintenance periods or emergency repairs. By using work trains, railway companies can minimize disruptions to regular passenger and freight services while maintaining the integrity of the rail network.
