Alternatively, a train may consist entirely of passenger carrying coaches, some or all of which are powered as a "multiple unit".
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.
Passenger trains usually have emergency brake handles (or a "communication cord") that the public can operate.

 The S.S. United States Foundation -The Ship - S.S. United States - The Greatest Ocean Liner Ever Built
The ship was totally fireproof, being constructed completely of non-flammable materials (publicists were so fond of pointing out that the only wood on board were in her pianos and the chopping blocks).
Because of the ship's highly secret design specifications, one of the stipulations that was incurred by the government was that the ship could never be sold to foreign interests.
In June 1992, the ship departed U.S. waters in tow, for Istanbul, Turkey, where once financing was secured workers would restore the ship to her former glory.

The Techno Superliner (TSL), which has been under construction at the Tamano works of Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding (MES) for delivery later this year, was intended to ply between Tokyo and Chichijima in the Ogasawara Islands and will now most likely be scrapped.
The plan to introduce the new TSL in November ended because Ogasawara Kaiun and Nippon Yusen, the shipping firms, declared they would not sign the lease contract if the subsidy was not granted.
The TSL, which was developed as part of the New Millennium Projects in 1999, is a catamaran surface effect vessel powered by gas turbine driving water jets that allow it to travel at a top speed of 40 knots.

 Ocean liner - All About All   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
An ocean liner is a large passenger ship, most typically a motorized vessel that undertakes longer voyages on the open sea primarily for the purpose of transporting people from one place to another.
Ocean liners were the primary mode of intercontinental travel for over a century, from the mid-19th century to the 1960s, when they were finally supplanted by airliners.
After the 1960s collapse of the passenger ship business, many ocean liners continued in use as cruise ships; as of 2003, a small number are still in service.

The Colombo Bay by Richard Pollak (Author) $17.50 Container ships lack the literary appeal of other, more romantic vessels, such as pirate ships and sail boats, and as a result their stories aren't often told.
In 2001, after securing passage as an observer aboard a massive container ship bound from Hong Kong to New York via the Suez Canal, Pollak was just about to begin his journey when the 9/11 attacks struck, throwing the world into tremendous uncertainty.
Though the ships are enormous and strong, they live under a constant cloud of potential disaster.
