A train is a connected series of vehicles for rail transport that move along a track (permanent way) to transport freight or passengers from one place to another. The track usually consists of two rails, but might also be a monorail or maglev guideway. Propulsion for the train is provided by a separate locomotive, or from individual motors in self-propelled multiple units. Most modern trains are powered by diesel locomotives or by electricity supplied by overhead wires or additional rails, although historically (from the early 19th century to the mid-20th century) the steam locomotive was the dominant form of locomotive power. Other sources of power (such as horses, rope or wire, gravity, pneumatics, and gas turbines) are possible. The word 'train' comes from the Old French trahiner, itself from the Latin trahere 'pull, draw'. From Wikipedia under the

Q. Subway trains used as a bus/taxi/car alternative to get around in new york, los angelos etc. I ride them in my city Washington dc, and I always wondered how they get off from the start so fast. I ride amtrak trains on vacations, and I always realized they take off really really slowly, but they always go really fast at the top speed. Subway trains don't go very fast so how do they do this?
