People have used trains for hundreds of years. How were the first trains different and how do we use them today? Today, most trains have diesel or electric engines. The new engines are quieter and cleaner than coal-powered steam engines. Diesel trains are often used in country areas. Many electric trains run in cities. Some electric trains can travel very fast. They are called high-speed trains. The bullet trains in Japan can travel three times faster than a car. |
