Rail transportation refers to the movement of people and goods using trains that run on tracks. It is a mode of transportation that utilizes railroads, which consist of parallel steel rails laid on solid foundation or ties, and is known for its efficiency, capacity, and speed over long distances. Rail transport can involve various types of trains, including passenger trains, freight trains, and cargo trains, and can operate at different speeds, including high-speed rail that connects major urban centers. The infrastructure supporting rail transportation includes tracks, signals, stations, and maintenance depots. This system of transport is environmentally friendly compared to other modes, such as road or air transport, as it generally consumes less energy per ton-mile. Rail transportation plays a crucial role in global commerce and passenger travel, providing a vital link between urban areas and rural regions. It is often characterized by its ability to move large volumes of goods efficiently and can be integrated with other types of transport to create multimodal logistics networks.
