What is a railroad?
In the United States we call them Railroads, in other countries they may be called Railways. I am talking about a set of two steel rails the are supported by wooden or concrete ties that the rails are anchored to. The ties are there to support the rails, help spread the weight of the locomotives and cars over more surface area, and to keep the rails at a set distance apart. This allows the locomotive and cars, also called a train, to travel on top of the rails safely and quickly. In essence a railroad is a road of steel rails, that allows heavy loads to be hauled from one location to another. There is a whole network of these roads all across most every country on earth.

What metal are train rails made from?
Train rails are primarily made from steel, which is an alloy of iron and carbon. Steel is chosen for its strength, durability, and ability to withstand the heavy loads and stresses of trains. The specific type of steel used is often high-carbon steel, which provides additional hardness and wear resistance. This combination ensures that rails can endure the harsh conditions of rail transport over time.
