It doesn't. The steel train wheels on the steel train track has very little friction, especially when compared to a truck with rubber tires on a road. For this reason, trains can moves many thousands of tons more efficiently, both in terms of power and fuel efficiency, than can be done by other types of vehicles.

Why do train run on tracks?
because the wheels connect to the track to keep the train stable and to give it more power.
What is a single train train track called?
It is normally called a 'single track'.The alternative is when two or more tracks run in parallel, this is called a 'double track' or a 'multiple track'.
Why are nascar tracks curved on the turns?
More information is needed! What track do you mean - race track, train track, etc?
When you touch the bullet train track will you get shock?
No - you are more likely to get a shock by touching other metal objects near the track when a train is nearby if the objects are not properly grounded for your protection.
What is a magley train?
IF you meant a 'maglev' train... Basically, the track consists of a high-power magnetic field that elevates the train so it 'hovers' just above the track surface. Since there is no friction, the trains can reach very high speeds - limited only by wind resistance. A more comprehensive explanation can be found in th related link to a Wikipedia article.
What is the speed of an amtrak train?
mainly the track speed on normal routes is 79mph but on electrified track it increase to 90 or more
1998 Pontiac sunfire Power train?
Do you have a more specific question about the drive train?
Do headers give a car more power?
They do give more horse power
By pressing your ear to the track you can hear a train coming from far away. What is the medium?
The medium through which the sound of the train travels is the solid material of the railway track itself. Sound waves travel faster and more efficiently through solids compared to air, allowing you to hear the train from a distance when you press your ear to the track. The vibrations from the train are transmitted through the metal of the track, making the sound audible before you can hear it through the air.
What type of friction is involved in train moving along a track?
The type of friction involved in a train moving along a track is mainly rolling friction. This occurs between the wheels of the train and the tracks they roll on. Rolling friction is less than sliding friction, allowing the train to move more efficiently.
What is difference between train and rail?
A rail is a what a train runs on. A pair of parallel rails is known as a track. A train is a collection of one or more vehicles, connected together, which run on railway tracks.
Why does a maglev train need to float over the track while moving forward?
A maglev train needs to float over the track using magnetic levitation to reduce friction. This allows the train to move at high speeds more efficiently and smoothly, resulting in a quieter and more energy-efficient ride.
