Rail transport engineering

Rail transport engineering involves designing, building, and maintaining railway systems that efficiently and safely move passengers and freight. It includes creating tracks, signals, stations, and rolling stock (trains). Engineers focus on ensuring stability and safety of tracks, optimizing train schedules, and integrating modern technology like automation and communication systems. The goal is to provide reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective transportation while minimizing environmental impact. This field combines principles of civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering to enhance the performance and safety of railway networks worldwide.
