Electric train

An electric train is a type of railway train that is powered by electricity, typically supplied through overhead lines or an electrified track. Unlike conventional trains that rely on diesel or steam locomotion, electric trains use electric motors to drive their movement. This mode of transportation offers several advantages, including higher efficiency, faster acceleration, and reduced emissions compared to fossil fuel-powered trains. Electric trains are commonly used in urban transit systems, such as subways and light rail, as well as in long-distance passenger and freight services. They can operate at higher speeds and often have a smoother ride due to their more straightforward drivetrain. Additionally, electric trains are generally quieter and produce less air pollution, contributing to more sustainable transportation solutions.
