Like most everything trains can still be improved. Some of the things engineers are doing to improve trains are using magnets to make them float just inches off of a special track. These magnets both repel (lift) the train and cause it to move forward and back wards. Trains with this technology can exceed 300 MPH.
Not just any train can go 300Mph. These modern trains are fitted with sleek outer skins that cut down on air restiance. Also the standard coupling between cars has been replaced with a flexable, stronger joint.
Yes, trains are still being used today in large quantities.
There are a few reasons why Paris still has old trains. Paris still has old trains today because it makes Paris look romantic and for historic reasons.
yes, of course.
yes there are trains here today!
Yes
Coal is still used in many steam engines today. Coal is not used on diesel trains or electric trains simply because it is not fuel for them. Electric trains and diesel trains are the most common trains in use, and not trains capable of using coal, because they are more efficent and much less costly to maintain.
Previously trains means cheaper but slower. Now trains are faster and costlier
Their still trains
in 1980, new trains stopped doing that but on some trains such as the HST, they still
yes, it is a constant process to maintain and also expand the network so engineering is very prevalent They still use engineer/drivers on the trains
Yes, very useful. They demonstrate a part of our history and culture. There are a number still in active service providing excursion tours.
New trains are not built to be coal powered. However there are still some steam trains run and maintained by amateur enthusiasts.
