		In rail transport, a train consists of a single or several 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.
		Rail transport systems are built into the landscape, including both the physical geography (hills, valleys, etc) and the human geography (location of settlements).
		Rail transport is also one of the safest modes of transport, and also makes a 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.

	Extremes in the Archipelago: Trade and Economic Development in the Outer Islands of Indonesia, 1900-1942 \| Book Reviews ...
		The reasons advanced by the author are not very surprising: most of these provinces were held back by an absence of natural resources, poor soils, adverse climatic conditions and poor transport links.
		The author argues that the movement of people from Java to Sumatra and Sulawesi under government-financed agricultural settlement schemes had only a very limited impact on the economies of the receiving provinces (perhaps Lampung was an exception?), while other policies such as irrigation development and rural credit schemes were very largely targeted to Java.
		Thus plans to develop a trans-Sumatra rail link were never brought to fruition and in many regions outside Java; transport links were either by native boat along rivers or through rough jungle tracks.
