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

Hallingskeid station in 1909

Hallingskeid Station (Norwegian:Hallingskeid stasjon) is arailway station on theBergen Line inUlvik,Norway. Located at 1,110 meters (3,640 ft)above mean sea level, the station is located within asnow tunnel. It opened along with the central section of the line on 10 June 1908 and remained manned until 1982. It is located on theHardangervidda plateau in an area without population or road access. The station therefore serves trekkers and mountaineers. Only some of theNorwegian State Railways' (NSB) trains call at the station. The originalstation building was a standard design made byPaul Due, which was also used for four other mountain stations on the line. The snow tunnel has burned five times; in 1948, 1953 and 2008, it only caused minor damage to the tunnel itself. In 1960, the fire burned down the tunnel, the station building and most of the station area. A fire in 2011 had aClass 73 train caught in the tunnel; both it and the tunnel were damaged beyond repair.
