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
