railway transportation
Railway transportation involves the movement of people and goods using trains that run on tracks. This system is efficient for covering long distances and can carry large volumes of cargo, making it a vital part of many economies. Trains are powered by various energy sources, including electricity and diesel, and they operate on a network of railroads.
The infrastructure for railway transportation includes tracks, stations, and signaling systems. Railway companies manage these systems to ensure safety and efficiency. Many countries have developed extensive railway networks, which contribute to urban development and reduce road congestion, making travel more sustainable.
