El train

The El train, short for "elevated train," is a type of urban transit system where trains run on tracks raised above street level, typically on steel or concrete structures. It provides quick, efficient transportation within cities, often connecting neighborhoods that may be underserved by other transit options. El trains are part of a broader subway or metro system but are distinguished by their elevated tracks. They help reduce congestion on streets, offer scenic city views, and enable passengers to travel across urban areas swiftly and safely.
