The second-generation "Free Gauge Train" set on a daytime test run on the Yosan Line near Kanonji Station in March 2012

Image:

Inrail transport, atrain is avehicle or (more frequently) a string of vehicles capable of being moved along a continuous line ofrails or other guideway for the purpose of conveying freight or passengers between points on apredetermined route. The train may be hauled or propelled by one or more vehicles designed exclusively for that purpose (locomotives) or may be driven by a number of motors incorporated in all or several of the vehicles (multiple units).

As of 2018^[update], there are approximately 1,052,000 kilometres (654,000 mi) of railway track in use worldwide. (World Bank (via Archive.org))

Selected article of the week

The Britomart building, with the railway station underground and behind.

Britomart Transport Centre (often simplyBritomart), is theAuckland,New Zealand,central business district transport hub. It combines abus interchange andrailway station in anEdwardian formerpost office (extended with expansive post-modernist architectural elements), with the main ferry terminal being just across Quay Street. It is located at the foot ofQueen Street, the main commercial thoroughfare of Auckland's central business district. At the time of its inception, the centre was Auckland's largest transport project ever and is also one of the fewunderground railways stations in the world where diesel motive power is used. It is the northern terminus of theNorth Island Main Trunk line. The centre was built to move rail access closer to the city's central business district and thereby help boost Auckland's low usage ofpublic transport.
