The body of trains is primarily constructed from steel due to its strength, durability, and resistance to wear and tear. Steel is favored for its ability to withstand the stresses of high-speed travel and heavy loads. Additionally, aluminum is sometimes used in train construction for lightweight applications, as it can improve fuel efficiency and reduce overall weight.
