Question

Meaning of train?

Answer 1

Train:

One or more engines coupled, with or without cars, displaying a marker, and authorized to operate on a main track.  A term that when used in connection with speed restrictions, flag protection, and the observance of all signals and signal rules also applies to engines.

Answer 2

train consists of rail vehicles that move along guides to transport freight or passengers from one place to another. The guideway (permanent way) usually consists of conventional rail tracks, but might also be monorail or maglev. Propulsion for the train is provided by a separate locomotive, or from individual motors in self-propelled multiple units. Most trains are powered by diesel engines or by electricity supplied by trackside systems. Historically the steam engine was the dominant form of locomotive power through the mid-20th century, but other sources of power (such as horses, rope (or wire), gravity, pneumatics, or gas turbines) are possible.
