Railroad

A railroad is a network of tracks that transport trains, which are vehicles that move along rails to carry passengers or freight. Railroads consist of steel rails laid on supports called ties, forming a fixed path. They are designed for efficient, long-distance movement of goods and people, often over vast areas. Railroads require infrastructure such as stations, signals, and maintenance facilities. They are a durable and reliable mode of transportation, especially for heavy or bulk cargo, and play a vital role in commerce, connecting regions and supporting economic growth.
