The Yellow Train

The yellow train follows its route along the track. It has a steady rhythm almost as if it were breathing in and out. The metal wheels scrape against the tracks, determined in their journey. If you were to close your eyes, you could follow the bends as the train turns simply by listening to its melody. A train is a form of rail transport consisting of a series of vehicles propelled along a rail track to transport cargo or passengers. Motive power is provided by a separate locomotive or individual motors in self-propelled multiple units. Although historically steam propulsion dominated, the most common modern forms are diesel and electric locomotives, the latter supplied by overhead wires or additional rails.
