Can gas turbine engine be used in trains?
Gas turbine engine deals with high temperature and pressure. So it is difficult to use it. However if certain modifications are done in it , it can probably be used in trains. And if this is done the trains would be very high speed. as it is gasturbine engines which powers aeroplanes
Why used ac over dc in train?
ac transmits the voltage over long distances. so v use ac in trains
What types of steel is used in railway crossings?
Modern crossings are now cast from manganese steel rather than being fabricated from parts, this allows for less maintenance and stronger alloys to be used; these crossings allow faster trains to travel across them and trains which a greater weight.

Is a lever in the train?
There are levers used on trains, but how many and what type will depend on what type of train and what types of cars on in the train. Steam trains used many more levers than typical trains today. This is because there are other mechanical, elctrical, and electronic devices to assist today.

What were diese trains used for?

What makes trains move?
A propulsion car, usually a locomotive today. The first trains used people power, horse power, and gravity. Sail power was even tried in the early 1800's in the US. Then steam locomotives, followed by diesel locomotives, followed by electric locomotives, - Today, electric is the most common for passenger trains with diesel the most common for freight trains. Today, some trains distribute their propulsion along multiple cars and don't need a locomotive (referred to as MU, for multiple unit).
How did people travel in 1950?
cars, boats, trains, horses,planes and trams.
