	This article is about trains in rail transport rail transport...
		Built 1937 and withdrawn from use 1965 The first trains were rope-hauled or pulled by horses, but from the early 19th century 19th century, almost all were powered by steam engine steam engines.
		A light one- or two-car rail vehicle running through the streets is not called a train but a tram tram or streetcar, but the distinction is not strict.
		The term light rail light rail is sometimes used for a modern tram, but it may also mean an intermediate form between a tram and a train, similar to metro except that it may have level crossings.

	THE BENNIE RAILPLANE SYSTEM
		The Railplane was a form of monorail with a carriage held on an overhead track, which itself was suspended on a framework of steel girders, by front and rear grooved wheels.
		The carriage was driven by fore and aft aircraft propellers, powered by either a live electric rail or petrol engines, and braked by a system acting on the overhead wheels and by rotating the rear propeller in a different direction from the front one.
		The track was demolished in 1941 to assist in the wartime scrap metal campaign and Bennie died in obscurity in 1954.

		The rail bus concept was intended to provide a passenger service on minor branch lines where the available traffic did not support economic use of a conventional steam-hauled passenger or mixed train, or even a rail-motor service provided by one of the relatively new '42 footer' CPH 'tin hare' motors.
		As the leader of the first group of rail buses, FP1 is historically significant because it demonstrates the application of the emerging road bus concept to rail transport, to provide a passenger service on branch lines where the level of patronage did not justify a conventional passenger or mixed train, or a rail motor.
		The first rail buses also have obvious social significance, in the first instance because of their importance in attempting to provide a passenger service where more conventional rail transport was uneconomic.

		The clapper rails recorded in San Francisco Bay in the mid-1800's on the early Pacific Railroad Surveys were first considered a variety of king rail, R. elegans var obsoletus (62), and later designated a distinct species, R. obsoletus (63).
		Varoujean (75) attributed the absence of clapper rails at Moro Cojo Slough to the absence of "undercut mudbanks".
		The variability in seasonal vocal activity of rails, tidal regimes, rainfall, site-to-site predation, census methods, and observer effect probably form a mosaic of influences affecting the detectability of population size.
