In rail transport, a train consists of a single or many connected rail vehicles that are capable of being moved together along a guideway to transport freight or passengers from one place to another along a planned route. The guideway (permanent way) usually consists of conventional rail tracks, but may be monorail or maglev. Propulsion for the train may come from a variety of sources, but most often from one or more locomotives or self-propelled multiple unit.
