Description about train:

A train is a series of connected vehicles that carries people or goods and moves along a railway track . Trains are usually pulled or pushed by locomotives (often known as "engines"), although some are self-propelled, such as locomotives. Passengers and cargo are transported in railway carriages, also known as wagons. Trains are designed with a fixed gauge or track spacing. Most trains run on steel rails with steel wheels, the low friction of which makes them more efficient than other modes of transport.

Trains have their roots in wagons that used railroads and were pulled by horse power or rope. After the invention of the steam locomotive in the United Kingdom in 1804, trains spread rapidly around the world, allowing goods and passengers to move across land faster and cheaper than ever before. Rapid transit and streetcars were first built in the late 1800s to transport large numbers of people in and around cities. Beginning in the 1920s and accelerating after World War II, diesel and electric locomotives replaced steam as the motive power. After the development of cars, trucks and extensive road networks offering greater mobility, as well as faster aircraft, the importance and market share of trains declined and many railway lines were abandoned. The proliferation of buses at the time also led to the closure of many rapid transit and tram systems.

Since the 1970s, governments, environmentalists, and rail advocates have advocated greater use of trains because of their greater fuel efficiency and lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to other forms of land transportation. High-speed rail, first built in the 1960s, has proven to be competitive with cars and airplanes over short and medium distances. Commuter rail has grown in importance since the 1970s as an alternative to congested highways and as a means of promoting development, just as light rail has in the 21st century. Freight trains are still important for transporting bulk goods such as coal and grain and for reducing traffic congestion caused by freight trucks.
