Trains are used by millions of people to travel to and from work. The tracks used by those trains need to take much pressure from the trains and must also last for many years. Metal is long wearing. The most popular metal for railway tracks is iron and has been known to last hundreds of years. Iron rusts eventually but that means that the railways have more grip on the tracks for the trains
The Luhya translation of the English words 'railway track' is "Irelwee".
Its not necessarily heavier (thicker is the wrong term), but it is more carefully aligned - and the curves are gentler.

Steel. Steel is mostly iron, with carbon removed and a few metals added to make it more bendable without breaking. It would be magnetic.
A completed railway track is called... wait for it... a "Railway track"! The word "Network" could also be applied here when referring to an entire infrastructure of railways. Railway LINE and RailROAD are also common terms. When talking about modelrailways, a completed system of track could be called a "Layout", "Track-plan" or "System".
No. Railway tracks are only the rails and ties/sleepers and hardware used to hold the track in place. A railway line is a set of tracks designed to move a train between at least 2 points. A railway line can consist of many tracks.
The wooden plank laid down on a railway track is called a "railroad tie" or "sleepers." These supports hold the rails in place and help distribute the weight of the trains. Traditionally made of wood, they can also be constructed from concrete or steel in modern railway systems.
The biggest railway platform in Pakistan is ROOHRI, located in Sindh! Hope this helped a little

The standard gauge railway line allows for increased capacity for standard gauge railway line through the addition of an extra track on the current line.
