Railways (transportation)

Railways are a transportation system that uses trains running on tracks to move people and goods efficiently over long distances. They consist of a network of rail lines, stations, and locomotives or carriages. Trains are powered by electricity, diesel, or steam, and are capable of carrying large volumes of cargo or many passengers quickly and reliably. Railways are often used for bulk freight, regional travel, and commuter services, offering a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to road and air transportation. They contribute significantly to economic development and regional connectivity by enabling efficient movement across distances.
