	RAIL TRANSPORT : Encyclopedia Entry
		The rails and perpendicular beams are usually then placed on a foundation made of concrete or compressed earth and gravel in a bed of ballast to prevent the track from buckling (bending out of its original configuration) as the ground settles over time beneath and under the weight of the vehicles passing above.
		Rail transport as a form of public transit in the United States is rare outside the Northeast Corridor.
		The rail gauge (the distance between the two rails of the track) used for the Stockton and Darlington railway became known as "standard gauge" and is used by about sixty per cent of the world's railways.

		Rails may be composed of segments welded or bolted, and may be of a length comparable to that of a railcar or two or may be many hundreds of feet long.

	Rail transport
		Rail transport is one of the most energy efficient means of mechanised land transport known.
		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.
		In the late 18th century, iron rails began to be employed: 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).

	AMS@USDA - Transportation and Marketing - Long Term Agricultural Transportation Strategy
		The abandonment of rail lines is intended to enhance the profitability of a railroad by increasing the traffic density on the remaining lines and discontinuing operations on a line where long-term rehabilitation costs exceed projected contributions to net income.
		In addition, during periods when the demand for rail capacity exceeds supply in a particular traffic lane, railroads allocate the available transportation to those commodities which contribute the most to profitability and to that traffic which is most likely to be lost to competing modes by transportation delays.
		Although rail firms are privately owned and financed, the competing transportation modes of truck and barge operate on publicly financed infrastructure and do not pay the full costs of their use.

		With the advent of containerized freight in the 1960s, rail, road and sea transportation have become an integrated network moving bulk goods efficiently, and at relatively low cost.
		An example is that goods from East Asia that are bound for Europe will often be shipped across the Pacific and transferred to trains to cross North America and be transferred back to a ship for the Atlantic crossing.
		These goods will be unloaded at the port of arrival for transfer to their eventual destination either directly by road or, by rail to a railhead for onward movement by road.

		However, outside of New York City, rail transport as a form of public transit in the United States is rare.
		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.
		In the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth of Nations countries, the term railway is used in preference to railroad, while in the United States the reverse is true.

	Press Release: Rail freight guidance for Local Transport Plans
		Freight on Rail has written a briefing paper to help local authorities make adequate provision for rail freight in their Local Transport Plans, due for submission to the Government in draft form this June.
		The Freight on Rail guidance outlines that regional economic, transport and spatial strategies and at the local level Local Transport Plans and Local Development frameworks must all cater for rail freight and be cross referenced.
		Rail freight is vital to the economy to alleviate road congestion and protect the environment and society.

	Monorail vs. Light Rail
		The rail line should go where the people are and where the people want to go, and that means major transportation arterials with current or the capacity for high density commercial and residential land use applications.
		Installing a surface rail system would tear up the entire roadway for months, if not years, not to mention the large amounts of additional right of way which would need to be appropriated from property owners to accommodate the rail system.
		Light rail makes virtually no difference to the congestion on the highway, and if you want to win the election, you have to win the votes of all the drivers who want all those other people off the highway so they get a clear shot.

		These consist of two parallel rails, usually of steel, generally mounted upon cross-sectional beams (termed "sleepers" or "ties") of timber, concrete or other material.
		As a result levels of rail transport have in some times and places been reduced in order to save money(see Beeching Axe).
		Like other forms of public transport, many railways are having to make considerable investment in order to meet new requirements for security in the face of recent terrorism incidents.

	Railways Overview
		At the other extreme are railways in countries where regulation and operation are still the responsibility of a government ministry.
		Other technical factors affecting the efficiency of traffic movements by rail are different electric power supply systems for traction, sometimes in the same country, and different constraints on maximum physical dimensions and weight that can affect railways’ ability to compete for bulk and intermodal shipments.
		At the same time, undue subsidies for uneconomic or unproductive rail services are also being reduced as governments face tighter fiscal constraints or where, as in the European Union, subsidy policies are being harmonized.

	Railways run on high costs
		Thus, while passenger fares are unnaturally low in the country, freight tariff has been regularly raised to bridge the gap.
		According to statistics made available by the AITD, the ratio of passenger fare to freight tariff (what it takes to move a passenger one km as compared to a tonne of cargo) in India is 0.3, while it is 1.4 in South Korea and 1.3 in China.
		Only a fourth of the country's rail network is double- or multi-track.
