Railways are a form of transportation that use metal tracks to move people and goods from one place to another. They have been in use since the early 19th century and have become an integral part of many countries' transportation networks, and are used for both passenger and freight services, with some lines dedicated solely to one or the other. The railway system is composed of track, locomotives, carriages, signals and switches which all work together to move passengers safely from one destination to another. Railway networks can be found in almost every country around the world, connecting cities, towns and villages with each other as well as providing access to remote areas that would otherwise be inaccessible by road or air travel.
