	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Rail transport (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Rail transport is the most energy efficient means of mechanised land transport.
		Rail transport is also one of the safest modes of transport, and also makes highly efficient use of space: a double-tracked rail line can carry more passengers or freight in a given amount of time than a four-laned road.
		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.

	The Proa FAQ
		It is easy to transport and easy to walk around in.
		It is very fun to sail but because of its accidental evolution as a sailboat it is not a super speedboat.
		Kite power lends itself perfectly to proas; they require no messing about to reverse tacks, they must wear about, thus shunting is a natural, and they can be sailed from a longitudinal track on the leeward rail, thus always keeping the boat in perfect balance, self-steering at all times without a rudder at all.
