Trivia:

Train or locomotive is a public transport provided by a line of

railway cars coupled together and drawn by a wheeled vehicle

consisting of a self-propelled engine used to draw trains along railway tracks.

It is a connected series of vehicles for rail transport that move along a track

(permanent way) to transport freight or passengers from one place to another.

The track usually consists of two rails, but might also be a monorail or maglev guideway.

Propulsion for the train is provided by a separate locomotive,

or from individual motors in self-propelled multiple units.

Most modern trains are powered by diesel locomotives or by electricity

supplied by overhead wires or additional rails,

although historically (from the early 19th century to the mid-20th century)

the steam locomotive was the dominant form of locomotive power.

Other sources of power (such as horses, rope or wire, gravity, pneumatics,

and gas turbines) are possible.

The word 'train' comes from the Old French trahiner, itself from the

Latin trahere 'pull, draw'.
