  • Rail transportation is the mode or means of transport where passengers and goods are transferred on wheeled vehicles running rails, also known as tracks. 
  • Unlike road transport where vehicles run on a prepared flat surface (roads), rail vehicles are directionary guided by the tracks on which they are run. 
  • Tracks usually consists of steel rails, installed on ties (sleepers) and ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels moves.
