ЧТО ОЗНАЧАЕТ СЛОВО RAILWAY
Железнодорожный транспорт
Железнодорожный транспорт является средством передвижения пассажиров и грузов посредством колесных транспортных средств, работающих на рельсах. Его также обычно называют железнодорожным транспортом. В отличие от автомобильного транспорта, когда транспортные средства просто работают на подготовленной поверхности, железнодорожные транспортные средства также направляются по направляющим дорожкам, на которых они работают. Трек обычно состоит из стальных рельсов, установленных на шпалах / галстуках и балласте, на которых движется подвижной состав, обычно оснащенный металлическими колесами. Однако возможны и другие варианты, такие как дорожка сляба, где рельсы закреплены на бетонном фундаменте, опираясь на подготовленную подповерхность. Подвижной состав в системах железнодорожного транспорта, как правило, имеет более низкую устойчивость к трению по сравнению с автотранспортными средствами на дорогах, а пассажирские и грузовые вагоны могут соединяться в более длинные поезда. Операция осуществляется железнодорожной компанией, обеспечивающей перевозку между вокзалами или транспортными объектами. Мощность обеспечивается локомотивами, которые либо потребляют электроэнергию от системы электрификации железных дорог, либо производят собственную энергию, как правило, дизельными двигателями. Большинство треков сопровождается сигнальной системой.
