Caravan Train Part 1 - Top Gear - BBC
A car railway or US and Canadian English railcar, railroad car or railway transport in the United Kingdom and UIC, also known as a train car or train car is a vehicle used to transport goods or passengers on a railway system railway railroad These cars, when coupled together and towed by one or more locomotives form a train Moreover, some cars are propelled which case they may be either single or multiple units up cars.
The long-term car is commonly used by itself in American English when a railway context is implicit Indian English sometimes uses bogie in the same way, 1 that the word has other meanings in other variants of English in American English, railcar is a generic term for a rail vehicle; in other countries wagons refers specifically to a motor vehicle, self-propelled railway.
Although some cars exist for the railroad own use for maintenance of the tracks, for example, most carry a charge to earn income passengers or freight, and can be classified accordingly as passenger cars or coaches one hand or freight cars or wagons on the other.
In the normal way for cars, seating is typically configured in intervals of three to five seats across the width of the car, with a corridor between the two resulting in Diet 2 1, 2 2 or 3 two seats or side tables can be provided between the seats making variant face, seats facing in the same direction may have access to a fold edge down on the back of the front seat.
If the path is located between the seats, of the rows may face the same direction, or in groups, with a double row facing.
In some vehicles for commuter services, the seats are positioned with the back to the side walls or on one or more commonly on both face to face in the driveway This gives a wide accessway and allows room for standing passengers during peak hours, and improved loading and unloading speeds.
If the driveway is on the side, the car is generally divided into small compartments These usually contain six seats, though sometimes in the second class, they contain eight, and sometimes in the first class, they contain four.
Passenger cars can take power for heating and lighting equipment to one of the two main sources directly from a locomotive head end power generator via cables bus or by a generator actuated by axle load continuously batteries whenever the train is moving.
Modern cars usually have either air conditioning or windows that can be opened occasionally for security, not so far that you can drag, or sometimes both types of sanitary facilities on board train can also be provided.
Other types of cars exist, especially for longer trips, such as the dining car disco lounge car, and in rare theater and cinema car event In some cases, a different kind of car is converted temporarily to one of these for an event.
Observation cars were built to the rear of many famous trains to allow passengers to watch These landscapes were popular, leading to the development of multiple dome car units that could be placed at mid-train and presented a higher level closed glass extending above the normal roof to provide passengers a better view.
Sleeping cars generally equipped with small rooms allow passengers to sleep in their night trips, while cars berths provide the long distance more basic sleeping accommodation trains often require luggage cars passenger baggage In European practice, it was once common for day coaches to be trained compartments for 6 or 8 passengers with access to a side corridor in the UK, the corridor coaches fell into disuse in the 1960s and 1970, in part because open coaches are considered safer for women traveling alone.
Another distinction is between single deck train cars and double One example of a double decker is the Amtrak superliner.
A train or assembly is arranged training semipermanent cars rather than one created ad hoc on what cars are available These are broken and reshuffled on shelter in the maintenance depot trains are then built a or more of these sets coupled together according to the needs of the capacity of this train.
Often, but not always, the cars in the train are connected together with joints, flexible gateway connections by passengers and crew can walk Some models incorporate semi-permanent connections between cars and may have a full-width connection , making them effectively a long, articulated car in North America, the vehicles also employ couplings Tightlock to maintain a train set in case of a derailment or other accident.
Many trains multiple units consist of cars that are semi-permanently coupled sets these units can be linked together to form larger trains, but generally passengers can not move between cars in a set This device circuit closed holds together the parts of passengers and their luggage, and therefore allows the distinct sets to be easily divided go separate ways Some multiple unit trainsets are designed so that the corridor connections can be easily opened between coupled sets; this usually requires cabs to be placed on the side or in the Dutch Koploper above the cabin These cabins or driving trailers are also useful for quickly reversing the train.
Military armored trains use several types of specialized vehicles.
Anti-tank equipped with anti-tank weapons usually in a tank gun turret.
Artillery commissioning mixture of guns and machine guns.
Command similar to infantry wagons, but designed to be a train control center.
DODX is the brand reporting to the US Department of Defense military command Traffic Management 6.
Infantry machine guns Fielding, designed to transport infantry units.
Unarmed platform, with targets ranging from transporting ammunition or vehicles, thanks to the way repair protection or derail railroad plows for the destruction of the railway.
During the Cold War, the Soviet Union sent a number of trains that served as mobile missile silos These trains carried the missile and everything needed to start, and were kept in motion around the rail network to make them hard to find and destroy in a first strike attack similar rail supported system has been proposed in the United States of America for the LGM-30 Minuteman in the 1960s, and the LGM-118 Peacekeeper in the 1980s, but neither were 7 deployed strategic air command first RBS Express combat evaluation were deployed to Barksdale Air Force base with pointing radar units to bomb mounted on the military railway cars with supporting equipment, to mark the thermonuclear bomb simulated cities in the continental United States 8.
