		Rail transport is an energy efficient means of mechanised land transport.
		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.
		In the late 18th century iron rails began to appear: British civil engineer William Jessop designed edge rails to be used with flanged wheels for use on a scheme in Loughborough, Leicestershire in 1789 and subsequently opened an iron-works to produce more rails.

	Cost Recovery in Road and Rail Transport (Research Paper 28 1999-2000)
		Road transport operators are required to identify the vehicle class, nominate the maximum gross weight for which the vehicle is to be licensed, and nominate the start and finishing kilometres.
		It is not possible to determine whether State rail access charges reflect the cost to society for the use of infrastructure since the basis on which State rail authorities calculate their charges is opaque.
		The Bureau of Transport Economics estimated that (on a net tonne kilometre basis), the cost of road externalities is in the order of seven times the cost of rail externalities for interstate non-bulk freight transport.

		One reason is that definitions of what a metro is may vary according to who you ask (a popular definition is here).
		Differences between heavy rail, metros and trams began fading in the past few decades as more metros now include stretches shared with roads or heavy rail.
		In other cases, metros have gradually evolved from tram or rail lines, so it is often difficult to tell the actual length or date of inauguration of a metro.
