	Train - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		In the United Kingdom, a train hauled by two locomotives is said to be "double-headed", and in Canada and the United States it is quite common for a long freight train to be headed by three, four, or even five locomotives.
		Long-distance trains, sometimes crossing several countries, may have a dining or restaurant car; they may also have sleeping cars, but not in the case of high-speed rail; these arrive at their destination before the night falls and are in competition with airplanes in speed.

	Rail transport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Trains also have a small frontal area in relation to the load they are carrying, which cuts down on air resistance and thus energy usage.
		Trains require a propulsion mechanism: horses, or steam, diesel or electric locomotives.
		Train whistles warn others of the presence of a train, trackside signals maintain the distances between trains.

	Train - KnowledgeIsFun.com
		The first trains were rope-hauled or pulled by horses, but from the early 19th century almost all were powered by steam locomotives.
		One of the most common types on modern railways are container trains, whereby the containers can be lifted on and off the train by cranes and loaded off or onto trucks or ships.
		This type of freight train has largely superseded the traditional "box wagon" type of freight train, whereby the cargo had to be loaded or unloaded manually.

	Freight Train
		Freight Train is the sole release from White Wind for 1993, breaking the trend of two new Essen releases pursued so far.
		The idea is to form trains of common wagon types, as long and as quickly as possible, all the while keeping them competitive with your rivals.
		Bearing in mind that you can only have one train of each type each day, the trend seems to be for players to concentrate on a big train of one type, perhaps two or three mid sized efforts and to hold a couple of locos ready for emergencies or last minute changes of plan.

		Freight Train Blues, the fourth and latest volume in Rounder Record's series Classic Railroad Songs, collects another 14 of those numberless railroad songs.
		But though Marty Stuart tears up Johnny Cash's "Blue Train," and bluegrassers Laurie Lewis and Kathy Kallick do the same to the Delmore Brothers' "Don't You See that Train," these are hardly well-known examples of the art of these two admittedly classic sources.
