Alphabet trains.

The Jupiter had a cone-shaped chimney called a balloon

stack. The train was part of the Golden Spike ceremony in

Utah in 1869, celebrating the joining of the Union Pacific and

Central Pacific railroad tracks.

The Komet runs overnight between Germany and

Switzerland. Like a comet in the sky, the train travels at

high speed.

The Leonardo Express travels back and forth from the

airport in Rome, Italy, to the central train station in the city.

The trip is just minutes.

A monorail train is wider than the one rail it rides on.

Monorails can run at ground level, on elevated tracks, or

below ground in subway tunnels.

A narrow-gauge train is smaller than a regular train and

uses narrower tracks. (Gauge is the word for the spacing

between rails.)

An ore train is a freight train that hauls iron ore from

mines. It is longer and heavier than most other trains.

Amtraks Pacific Suriner travels the Southern California

coast. It provides a view of palm trees, beaches, and ocean

and also has special racks for bikes and surfboards.

The Q train s route is shown in yellow on the New York City

subway map. The NYC subway has different train lines and

stations.

The Rocky Mountaineer passes scenic views of the

Canadian Rocky Mountains. It travels from the sea in

Vancouver to the mountains in Whistler, British Columbia.

Amtraks Auto Train transports passengers and vehicles

between Virginia and Florida. Vehicles ride in freight cars

called auto racks.

Bullet trains are named for their shape and speed. Their

tracks are smooth so the trains move quickly. Japans Shinkansen

trains are some of the fastest bullet trains in the world.

A coal train transports coal from a mine to a utility

company or other destination.

A railroad line with a short track and train is sometimes

called a dinky train . New Jersey Transits Princeton Branch

is known as the Dinky Line and is the shortest scheduled train

in the United States.

An elevated train runs on tracks above the street. Atlanta,

Baltimore, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia,

San Francisco, and Washington, DC, all have elevated train tracks.

A freight train has many cars pulled by one or more
