shape Introduction

Rail transportation is one of the oldest forms of modern transport used by hundreds of millions of people everyday across the globe. Trains are often the most economical means of transportation. Also, rail transport saves a lot of travel time unlike travelling in the immense traffic jams via road transport. Furthermore, trains are huge and can transport several thousands of people in one journey. In addition to passenger transport, trains have always been used to transport large amounts of goods and thus are a very significant part of import and export. The use of trains is the most effective way to transport large amounts of goods across lands, thus making rail transport a very important part of the economy.
