Rail Transport ...
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rail transport is the conveyance of passengers and goods by means of wheeled vehicles running along railways (or railroads). Rail transport is part of the logistics chain, which facilitates international trade and economic growth. Rail transport is capable of high capacity and is energy efficient, but lacks flexibility and is capital intensive. It consists of trains running along a permanent way, consisting of steel track on ties and ballast.

This Sub-Sector as a Whole

     Industries in the Rail Transportation Sub-Section provide rail transportation of passengers and/or cargo using railroad rolling stock. The railroads in this Sub-Section primarily either operate on networks, with physical facilities, labor force, and equipment spread over an extensive geographic area, or operate over a short distance on a local rail line.
     Scenic and sightseeing rail transportation and street railroads, commuter rail, and rapid transit are not included in this Sub-Section but are included in Sub-Section, Scenic and Sightseeing Transportation, and Sub-Section, Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation, respectively. Although these activities use railroad rolling stock, they are different from the activities included in rail transportation. Sightseeing and scenic railroads do not usually involve place-to-place transportation; the passenger's trip typically starts and ends at the same location. Commuter railroads operate in a manner more consistent with local and urban transit and are often part of integrated transit systems.

      Including Sub-Sections: Rail Transportation (except street railroads, commuter rail, urban rapid transit, and scenic and sightseeing trains), Railroads (line-hauling operating), Shortline Railroads, Beltline and logging railroads.
