Rail transportation, a type of land transportation, is a popular and cost-effective mode of commuting for passengers and commodities over long and short distances.
Most of the time, we refer to rail transportation as a 'train' or a 'railway.'
Trains are no longer powered by steam or coal, but rather by electricity. This is due to the advancement of this mode of transportation in the modern era to something more inventive. These changes to the railway system show that rail transportation has a long history to get to where it is now.
