	Rail transport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rail transport is an energy-efficient and capital-intensive means of mechanized land transport.
		Rail lines that carry little traffic are often built as single track, to be used by trains in both directions; "passing sidings", which consist of short stretches of double track, are provided along the line to allow trains to pass one another, and to travel in opposite directions.
		The rail gauge (the distance between the two rails of the track) used for the Stockton and Darlington railway became known as "standard gauge" and is used by about sixty per cent of the world's railways.

		Rail transport is also one of the modes of transport and also makes a efficient use of space: a double tracked line can carry more passengers or freight a given amount of time than a road.
		Rail lines that carry little traffic often built with a single track which used by trains traveling in both directions; rail lines like these "passing loops" or sidings" which consist of short stretches of track are provided at certain points along line to allow trains to pass each and travel in different directions.

	Rail transport - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		A railway (or railroad) track consists of two parallel rail tracks, usually of steel, generally mounted upon cross beams (termed "railroad ties" or "sleepers") of timber, concrete or steel.
		The rail tracks provide very smooth and hard surfaces on which the wheels of the train may roll with a minimum of friction.
		Rail lines that carry little traffic are often built with a single track used by trains in both directions; on rail lines like these, "crossovers", "passing loops" or "passing sidings", which consist of short stretches of double track, are provided along the line to allow trains to pass each other, and travel in opposite directions.

	cars - History of rail transport
		Rail transport has a long history, including systems with man or horse power and rails of wood or stone.
		In the late 18th century, English civil engineer William Jessop designed edge rails to be used with flanged wheels for use on a scheme in Loughborough, Leicestershire (in 1789).
		The steam locomotive was invented in the early stages of the industrial revolution, and railroads became essential to the swift movement of goods and labour that was needed for industrialization.

		Wagonways were developed in Germany in the 1550s and the use of these tracks, consisting of wooden rails for horse-drawn wagons, spread across Europe.
		By the early 1700s, the wooden tracks and wheels were beginning to be replaced by iron, and these systems became known as tramways.
		In the meantime, overland transport not on the railways consisted primarily of horse powered vehicles.

	Rail transport
		It consists of two parallel rails, usually made of steel, and wooden or concrete sleepers or ties that hold the rails exactly at the proper distance from each other.
		In the late 18th century, iron rails began to be employed: British civil engineer William Jessop designed edge rails to be used with flanged wheels for use on a scheme in Loughborough, Leicestershire (in 1789 and subsequently opened an iron-works to produce more rails).
		In Britain the term railway is often used to refer to the complete organisation of tracks, trains, stations, signaling, timetables and the organising companies which collectively make up a coordinated railway system, while permanent way or p/way refers to the tracks alone.

	Vip News : Network Rail's funding could be cut in future
		The regulator, which carried out an assessment of Network Rail's business plan assumptions of future rail traffic, found that funding could be plugged at 17-20 billion pounds for the 2009-2014 control period, instead of the 22.7 billion pounds allowed in the current 2004-2009 period.
		It has analysed Network Rail's requirements in terms of maintaining the serviceability and performance of the rail system, possible cost escalations in that work and assumptions on return on the group's capital.
		Currently, the government supports the rail industry to the extent of around 4 billion pounds a year, of which at least half is provided as grants to Network Rail.

		In Britain, vandalism is thought responsible for about half of rail accidents.Railroad lines are zoned or divided into blocks guarded by combinations of block signals, operating rules, and automatic-control devices so that at most one train may be in a block at any time.
		In 1802, Jessop opened the Surrey Iron Railway in south London - arguably the world's first public railway, albeit a horse-drawn one.The first steam locomotive to operate on rails, built by Richard Trevithick, was operated in 1804 in Wales.

	HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE WHEEL INVENTION \| MAN AND TRANSPORT.
		The main problem with this method of transportation was that many rollers were required, and care was required to insure that the rollers stayed true to their course.
		The tradeoff is that a wheeled object in motion carries more momentum than dragging, and thus require an external force in the opposite direction in order to stop the object or change its direction, for example, such as brakes.
		The invention of the wheel turned out to be of great importance not only as a transportation device, but for the development of technology in general, important applications including the water wheel, the cogwheel (see also antikythera mechanism), the spinning wheel, the astrolabe or torquetum.
