		A typical railway (or railroad) track consists of two parallel steel (or in older networks, iron) rails, generally anchored perpendicular to beams, termed sleepers (Commonwealth) or railroad ties (U.S. and Canada), of timber, concrete, or steel to maintain a consistent distance apart, or gauge.
		The first railways in Great Britain (also known as wagonways) were built in the early 17th century, mainly for transporting coal from the mine to the water side where it could be loaded on to a boat.
		Railways soon spread throughout the United Kingdom and through the world, and became the dominant means of land transport for nearly a century, until the invention of aircraft and automobiles, which prompted a gradual decline in railways.

	Rail transport
		A typical railway (or railroad) track consists of two parallel steel (or in older networks, iron) rails, generally anchored perpendicular to beams (termed sleepers (Commonwealth except Canada) or railroad ties (U.S. and Canada) of timber, concrete, or steel to maintain a consistent distance apart, or gauge.
		Like other forms of public transport, many railways are having to make considerable capital investment in order to meet new requirements for security in the face of recent terrorism incidents, for instance the Madrid train bombings of 11 March 2004.
		Securing railways is often more difficult than for other modes of transport because stations are designed with easy access and high capacity rather than security as their primary goals; most trains make many stops, rendering any sort of passenger screening difficult; and securing the tracks as they run through cities and the countryside is impractical.

		The early tramways and railways were laid out with very gentle grades because locomotive and horse haulage where so low in tractive effort.
		This pioneering railway was built at a time when choice between locomotive and cable haulable wasn't clear cut.
		Therefore all hill climbing (1 in 100) sections was concentrated in one place where cable haulage by Stationary engines could be used if necessary, while there rest of the line was engineered to be so gently graded (say 1 in 2000) that even primitive locomotives would have a chance of succeeding.
