Is the C train running to New York?
I'm assuming you meant to ask, "Is the C train running to Manhattan?" No, the C train is not running at all, as of November 4, 2012. The A is making local stops instead. And there is no service on the A between Jay Street-Metrotech and 34th Street-Penn Station, and from 168th Street to the Uptown end of the line, 207th Street-Inwood. Also, the Rockaway Park and Rockaway Beach branches of the A are not running, so the A line terminates at Lefferts Boulevard.
Shuttle buses are operating between Jay Street-Metrotech and 34th Street-Penn Station.

What subway from Times Square to macys?
It depends where on 14th Street you're starting out from.
You can take the Downtown 2 or 3 (of the 1-2-3, the red line) from 14th Street (at 7th Avenue) to Wall Street (at William Street).
Or, you can take the Downtown 4 or 5 (of the 4-5-6, the dark green line) from 14th Street-Union Square to Wall Street (at Broadway).
You can also take the Brooklyn-bound L train (the grey line) from 14th Street-8th Avenue, 14th Street-7th Avenue or 14th Street-6th Avenue to 14th Street-Union Square, then transfer at 14th Street-Union Square to the Downtown 4 or 5.
Although, if you're coming from 14th Street-7th Avenue, then you might as well just take the Downtown 2 or 3 and save yourself a transfer.

What are the disadvantages of rail transport carrying raw material to factories?
there will be pollutions from those stupid trains...
For a serious answer...
Less route and destination flexibility than by road - though rail speeds are far higher, at typically >100mph for express passenger services for long stretches of the main-line routes; up to about 70mph for diesel multiple-units (DMUs).
High equipment & maintenance costs - especially if the track carries fast passenger and heavy freight expresses.
Disruption to one service can seriously affect many others as there are no ready diversions round the obstacle. There are planned and announced stoppages for engineering works, but unplanned disruptions include train/road-vehicle collisions, road vehicles striking bridges, suicides (which is one of the more common causes of delay), mechanical breakdown of a train, locomotive or track & signalling component; and geographical events such as floods, heavy snow and landslips.
As for pollution... that is very low compared to load/distance/speed equivalents for road transport.

Which type of fuel does a train use?
The majority of trains in the 1940s were pulled by steam locomotives (some diesel locomotives had been introduced in the 1930s but they were not common on the mainlines). These were usually fueled with either coal or fuel oil. There were a few railroads using electric locomotives on specific sections of track (e.g. the Great Northern Railway over the Cascade Range in Washington state).
What are the London tube times?
The operating hours vary depending on season, day of the week, and the line, as well as what direction. However, by and large, the underground closes at around 01:00 and reopens again at 05:00.
From 2015, this will entend on certain lines, over the weekend, so that there will be a 24-hour service on Friday and Saturday.
What impact did railways have on Britain?
people were able to travel greater distances for leisure and work.
and more x
Perhaps the greater impact was the means to move freight far more rapidly and more efficiently than hitherto, although it still meant a lot of local collections and deliveries between producer or customer and the nearest railway goods sidings; and for years was still very labour-intensive. This encouraged rapid industrial growth.
The railways rendered the canals obsolete very rapidly, because what may have taken a week to move by canal could now take a day or so of route time - and even in the days of loose-coupled 10ton wagons or vans one train would carry the equivalent of several 70ton narrow-boat (not "barge"!) loads.
Among the benefits here was the ability to move perishable foodstuffs from fish-dock or farm to the cities ensuring it reached households while still reasonably fresh (before refrigeration became widespread).
After decades of decline, rail and passenger freight are both increasing again, thanks largely to higher train speeds & for passengers, big accommodation advances; making them attractive alternatives to both road and air for internal travel. Freight rail traffic is now mainly confined to heavy bulk materials and containers, on fast (70mph+), long-distance routes.
What did the railroads look like?
Well, if your getting the picture of railroads being a whole different thing then today, well it isn't. The railroads look like the ones we use today and they have no difference between them. Don't be offended but who told you that railroads look different then today. Well the trains have changed. Don't fully depend on my answer, and try on www.google.com if you want to be sure that my answer is correct.
