	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 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.

		Rail transport is an energy efficient means of mechanised land transport.
		Most rail systems, including urban rapid transit (metro/subway) systems, are highly subsidised and have never or rarely been profitable; however, their indirect benefits are often great.
		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.
