Motive power for a train is provided by a separate locomotive or individual motors in a self-propelled multiple unit. Although historically steam propulsion dominated, the most common types of locomotive are diesel and electric, the latter supplied by overhead wires or additional rails. Trains can also be hauled by horses, pulled by engine or water-driven cable or wire winch, run downhill using gravity, or powered by pneumatics, gas turbines or batteries.
Train tracks usually consist of two running rails, sometimes supplemented by additional rails such as electric conducting rails and rack rails. Monorails and maglev guideways are also used occasionally.
A passenger train includes passenger-carrying vehicles and can often be very long and fast. One notable and growing long-distance train category is high-speed rail. In order to achieve much faster operation at speeds of over 500 km/h (310 mph), innovative maglev technology has been the subject of research for many years. The term "light rail" is sometimes used to refer to a modern tram system, but it may also mean an intermediate form between a tram and a train, similar to a heavy rail rapid transit system. In most countries, the distinction between a tramway and a railway is precise and defined in law.
A freight train (or goods train) uses freight cars (or wagons/trucks) to transport goods or materials (cargo). It is possible to carry passengers and freight in the same train using a mixed consist.
Rail cars and machinery that are used for the maintenance and repair of tracks, are termed "maintenance of way" equipment; these may be assembled into maintenance of way trains. Similarly, dedicated trains may be used to provide support services to stations along a train line, such as garbage or revenue collection.

A train is a form of transport consisting of a series of connected vehicles that generally runs along a rail track to transport cargo or passengers. The word "train" comes from the Old French trahiner, derived from the Latin trahere meaning "to pull" or "to draw".Motive power for a train is provided by a separate locomotive or individual motors in a self-propelled multiple unit.

The rail line was built by three private companies over public lands provided by extensive US land grants. Construction was financed by both state and US government subsidy bonds as well as by company issued mortgage bonds. The Western Pacific Railroad Company built 132 mi (212 km) of track from the road's western terminus at Alameda\/Oakland to Sacramento, California. The Central Pacific Railroad Company of California (CPRR) constructed 690 mi (1,110 km) eastward from Sacramento to Promontory Summit, Utah Territory. The Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) built 1,085 mi (1,746 km) from the road's eastern terminus at the Missouri River settlements of Council Bluffs and Omaha, Nebraska westward to Promontory Summit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe railroad opened for through traffic between Sacramento and Omaha on May 10, 1869, when CPRR President Leland Stanford ceremonially tapped the gold \"Last Spike\" (later often referred to as the \"Golden Spike\") with a silver hammer at Promontory Summit. In the following six months, the last leg from Sacramento to San Francisco Bay was completed. The resulting coast-to-coast railroad connection revolutionized the settlement and economy of the American West. It brought the western states and territories into alignment with the northern Union states and made transporting passengers and goods coast-to-coast considerably quicker, safer and less expensive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaddle steamers linked Sacramento to the cities and their harbor facilities in the San Francisco Bay until late 1869, when the CPRR completed and opened the Western Pacific portion (which the CPRR had acquired control of in 1867–68) to Alameda first and then to Oakland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first transcontinental rail passengers arrived at the Pacific Railroad's original western terminus at the Alameda Terminal on September 6, 1869, where they transferred to the steamer Alameda for transport across the Bay to San Francisco. The road's rail terminus was moved two months later to the Oakland Long Wharf, about a mile to the north, when its expansion was completed and opened for passengers on November 8, 1869. Service between San Francisco and Oakland Pier continued to be provided by ferry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe CPRR eventually purchased 53 miles (85 km) of UPRR-built grade from Promontory Summit (MP 828) to Ogden, Utah Territory (MP 881), which became the interchange point between trains of the two roads. The transcontinental line was popularly known as the Overland Route after the principal passenger rail service that operated over the length of the line until 1962.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFast \u0026amp; Free Shipping within U.S.A. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe Care for your order, Pack it carefully and ship it within 48 hours. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSatisfaction Guaranteed! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease explore our store for more stamps, souvenir sheets, post-office collectibles and philately books and pre-philatelic items: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003emontecinos.philately\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2020-11-10T00:13:25-05:00","created_at":"2020-11-10T00:13:26-05:00","vendor":"Montecinos Philately","type":"Cover","tags":[],"price":2497,"price_min":2497,"price_max":2497,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":32200098873414,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"A36-112","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Transcontinental Railroad The Golden Spike Union Pacific FDC First Day Issue","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":2497,"weight":142,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/meditative-philately.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/A36-112.jpg?v=1604985248"],"featured_image":"\/\/meditative-philately.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/A36-112.jpg?v=1604985248","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":6761645899846,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.76,"height":1104,"width":1943,"src":"\/\/meditative-philately.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/A36-112.jpg?v=1604985248"},"aspect_ratio":1.76,"height":1104,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/meditative-philately.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/A36-112.jpg?v=1604985248","width":1943}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003caudio class=\"audio-for-speech\"\u003e\u003c\/audio\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"translate-tooltip-mtz hidden\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"header\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"header-controls\"\u003e\r\n\u003cspan class=\"sound-translate\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"settings\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTranscontinental Railroad The Golden Spike Union Pacific FDC First Day Issue 2019\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe First Transcontinental Railroad (known originally as the \"Pacific Railroad\" and later as the \"Overland Route\") was a 1,912-mile (3,077 km) continuous railroad line constructed between 1863 and 1869 that connected the existing eastern U.S. rail network at Council Bluffs, Iowa with the Pacific coast at the Oakland Long Wharf on San Francisco Bay.

The rail line was built by three private companies over public lands provided by extensive US land grants. Construction was financed by both state and US government subsidy bonds as well as by company issued mortgage bonds. The Western Pacific Railroad Company built 132 mi (212 km) of track from the road's western terminus at Alameda\/Oakland to Sacramento, California. The Central Pacific Railroad Company of California (CPRR) constructed 690 mi (1,110 km) eastward from Sacramento to Promontory Summit, Utah Territory.
