	Rail transport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The rails and perpendicular beams are usually then placed on a foundation made of concrete or compressed earth and gravel in a bed of ballast to prevent the track from buckling (bending out of its original configuration) as the ground settles over time beneath and under the weight of the vehicles passing above.
		Rail transport is an energy-efficient and capital-intensive means of mechanised land transport.
		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.

		A railway (or railroad) track consists of two parallel rail tracks, formerly of iron now of steel, generally mounted upon cross beams (termed "sleepers" (Commonwealth) or "railroad ties" (U.S.)) of timber, concrete or steel.

		Similarly, passenger rail in all countries is dependent on government subsidies.
