	Portal:Trains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In rail transport, a train consists of a single or many connected rail vehicles that are capable of being moved together along a guideway to transport freight or passengers from one place to another along a planned route.
		Although the network has characteristics of light rail, such as the type of rolling stock used, the system is more akin to a rapid transit system.
		While this forms a comprehensive transportation system serving many parts of Metro Manila, the system has only been partially successful in decongesting the very busy thoroughfare, which is further aggravated by the rising number of motor vehicles in the metropolis.

	Railroad
		Though the rail system was extremely slow at first and prohibitively expensive to build and run, the British were not to be dissuaded in their pursuit of non-animal driven transportation.
		The most advanced mode of transportation prior to the introduction of the rail system was the horse drawn omnibus on a track, called a tram.
		Some rails were still made of wood, others iron and the first trains traveled at the pace of 3.5 miles per hour, significantly slower than the horse drawn coach which traveled at a speed of 9-10 miles per hour.

		The target date is rushing up fast to meet them: from 2007, the trains of Eurostar are meant to be shooting through these subterranean passages like supercharged electric eels passing under sewers and water mains, tube lines and gas pipes, at the end of their journeys from Paris and Brussels.

		Architects working on the Channel rail project, he says, "were under pressure at one time from the office of the deputy prime minister to design what they call 'icons' instead of stations.
