A beam is a long, horizontal structural element made from materials such as iron, steel, or concrete, designed to support and distribute the weight of a building or other structures. Beams are critical in carrying loads from above, such as floors, roofs, and other components, and transferring that weight to columns or walls. They can vary in size and shape, depending on the requirements of the design and the loads they need to support. By providing stability and strength, beams play a vital role in ensuring the safety and durability of a building.

An arch is a curved structure that spans an opening, typically made of stone, brick, or other materials. It is designed to support weight from above while allowing for clear space below. Arches are often used in doorways, windows, and bridges, creating a strong and stable shape that can distribute weight evenly. The curved design not only provides structural strength but also adds an aesthetic element to buildings and structures. Arches have been used in architecture for thousands of years and are an essential feature in various styles, from ancient Roman to modern design.

A boiler is a large container used to heat water or produce steam. It is commonly used in buildings for heating, in power plants to generate electricity, in factories to power machinery, and in trains to drive the engine. The boiler works by burning fuel, such as gas or coal, or using electricity to heat the water inside. As the water heats up, it turns into steam, which can then be used to create energy, provide warmth, or power the train's locomotive. Boilers are an important part of many industries and provide a reliable way to produce heat and power.

A line refers to a track or route that a train follows as it moves from one location to another. Train lines are typically made up of a series of connected rails and stations, allowing trains to travel along a set path. These lines can vary in length, from short local routes to long-distance connections between cities.
