		Rail transport in Australia is large, comprising a total of 33,819 km (2,540 km electrified) of track.
		Rail transport in the Philippines is a growing means of transportation for passengers and cargo in the country.
		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.

		Light rail is generally powered by electricity, usually by means of overhead wires, but sometimes by a live rail, also called third rail (a high voltage bar alongside the track), requiring safety measures and warnings to the public not to touch it.
		Light rail systems are generally cheaper to build than heavy rail, since the infrastructure does not need to be as substantial, and tunnels are generally not required as is the case with most metro systems.
		Light rail is also notably low-impact with regards to hard-to-measure quality of life variables (except noise--q.v.), whereas highway construction has historically wreaked havoc on the social capital of neighborhoods where it occurs and leads to cases of alleged cancer clusters and noise pollution in areas directly adjacent to even moderately-traveled routes.

		For example, in 1832 the Rouen Chamber of commerce opposed a rail link between Rouen and Paris, arguing it would be detrimental to agriculture, hurt the traditional way of life, and impinge upon the business of the canals and rivers.
		Unlike Russia or Germany, which did not have well-developed canal systems, France had a great deal of capital invested in water-borne transport, and these interests saw the railways as dangerous competition.
		The parliament thus rejected all major rail projects before 1842, and during this period France steadily fell behind the nations that had reached quick consensus on railway policy.

	APL: History - Evolution of Rail in America
		Soon after major ocean transportation carriers began the lengthy process of integrating containers into their operations in the 1950s, America’s railroads were loading these “boxes” onto flatcars to deliver goods more quickly and easily to the U.S. interior.
		In fact, the impact of published rail schedules was so great by the turn of the century that some cite the schedules as being the primary influence on the concept of punctuality in America.
		For example, containerized transportation providers used a chassis — a wheeled frame onto which the container is seated after being discharged from a vessel — so truckers could haul a container to and from a customer’s warehouse.

		The term 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.
		Rail freight is most economic when freight is being carried in bulk and over long distances, but is less suited to short distances and small loads.

		In some places in the Ruhr Valley, Germany, the standard gauge plus metre-gauge operations were on four-rail track.
		Some of the weirdest-looking trackage was in San Francisco, where some cable-car trackage (three feet six inches) shared one rail with standard-gauge electric streetcars -- but the shared rail was between the two other rails.
		One such example was at the Freey Building, where the Sacramento-Clay line shared the outer rail at the loop; the other was on the Powel-Fisherman's Wharf line, where a Muni line shared track with that cable line.

		The thesis generally supports the conclusions that air transportation is a significant and growing environmental problem, with difficult associated governmental and industry decisions needed to be made in order to put long term solutions in motion.
