A '''train''' is a form of ] consisting of a series of ]s that usually runs along a ] to transport ] or ]s. Motive power is provided by a separate ] or individual motors in self-propelled ]s. Although historically ] propulsion dominated, the most common modern forms are ] and ] locomotives, the latter supplied by ] or ]s. Other energy sources include ], ], ], ], ], and ]s. Train tracks usually consist of two, three or four or five ], with a limited number of ]s and ] guideways in the mix.<ref>{{cite web|title=Magnetic Levitation Trains|url=http://www.lanl.gov/orgs/mpa/stc/train.shtml|website=Los Alamos National Laboratory|publisher=Los Alamos National Laboratory|accessdate=17 September 2014|quote=The electrodynamic suspension (EDS) levitates the train by repulsive forces from the induced currents in the conductive guideways.}}</ref> The word 'train' comes from the ] ''trahiner'', from the ] ''trahere'' 'pull, draw'.<ref>{{cite web | title = Train (noun) | work = (definition – Compact OED) | publisher = Oxford University Press | url = http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/train?view=uk | accessdate = 2008-03-18}}</ref> A '''train''' is a form of ] consisting of a series of ]s that usually runs along a ] to transport ] or ]s.

There are various types of trains that are designed for particular purposes. A train may consist of a combination of one or more ]s and attached ]s, or a self-propelled ] (or occasionally a single or articulated powered coach, called a ]). The first trains were rope-hauled, gravity powered or pulled by horses. From the early 19th century almost all were powered by ]s. From the 1910s onwards the steam locomotives began to be replaced by less labor-intensive and cleaner (but more complex and expensive) ]s and ]s, while at about the same time self-propelled ] vehicles of either power system became much more common in passenger service.
