Why do people travel by train?

Posted by Keshav Jain on



They can move people at speeds of more than 320 kilometres per hour. They carry goods weighing thousands of tonnes across a continent. Almost every country has them, and many children collect toy models of them. What are they? Trains!



Every day, in many places throughout the world, trains carry thousands of people along railway tracks. People who want to travel from one city to another use trains. Many people who live in one town and work in another take a train to work. Some trains make longer trips. They have beds for sleeping and serve meals in dining cars.



Subways are underground city trains that zoom people from place to place. Elevated trains crisscross a city on tracks that are built above the streets.
