What is a "train"?

A train is a type of vehicle that runs on tracks, used for transporting people or goods over long distances. It consists of a series of connected carriages or wagons, which are pulled or pushed by a locomotive, a powerful engine designed to move the train. Trains are powered by various energy sources, including electricity or diesel engines. They are an efficient way to travel, especially for long distances, and are commonly used in many countries for both local and international travel. Trains offer a smooth ride, and their fixed tracks help avoid traffic, making them a reliable form of transportation.
