Heritage railways are often old railway lines preserved in a state depicting a period (or periods) in the history of rail transport.
Warisan sejarah perkeretaapian kebanyakan berupa jalur kereta api tua yang dipertahankan sebagai bagian dari pelestarian sejarah transportasi kereta api.
The British Office of Rail and Road defines heritage railways as follows:...'lines of local interest', museum railways or tourist railways that have retained or assumed the character and appearance and operating practices of railways of former times.
Office of Rail and Road di Britania Raya mendefinisikan warisan sejarah perkeretaapian sebagai: "... 'jalur kereta api lokal', jalur kereta api museum, atau pariwisata kereta api yang tetap mempertahankan karakteristik serta praktik operasi perkeretaapian pada masa lampau.
While some heritage railways are profitable tourist attractions, many are not-for-profit entities; some of the latter depend on enthusiastic volunteers for upkeep and operations to supplement revenue from traffic and visitors.
Meski jalur kereta api warisan merupakan tempat wisata yang menjadi sumber keuntungan bagi perusahaan operatornya, beberapa ada yang bersifat tidak mencari untung; terkadang dikelola oleh sukarelawan yang berminat dalam pelestarian sejarah serta menambah pendapatan dari wisatawan.
Children's railways are extracurricular educational institutions where children and teenagers learn about railway work; they are often functional, passenger-carrying narrow-gauge rail lines.
Sebagian lintas warisan juga beroperasi sebagai jalur kereta api umum, serta dapat meraup keuntungan dari penumpang-penumpang hariannya atau melalui subsidi pemerintah Lintas kereta api anak adalah lembaga pendidikan nonformal tempat anak dan remaja belajar tentang perkeretaapian; kebanyakan berupa jalur kereta api sepur sempit untuk angkutan penumpang.
Many were called "Pioneer railways", after the youth organisation of that name.
Kereta api anak-anak dikembangkan pada zaman kekuasan Uni Soviet, dijuluki "Pioneer railways" berdasarkan nama organisasi pemuda dengan nama yang sama.
The first children's railway opened in Moscow in 1932 and, at the breakup of the USSR, 52 children's railways existed in the country.
Jalur kereta api anak pertama dibuka di Moskow pada tahun 1932 dan, saat Uni Soviet pecah, 52 jalur kereta api anak ada di negara tersebut.
Although the fall of communist governments has led to the closure of some, preserved children's railways are still functioning in post-Soviet states and Eastern European countries.
Meskipun jatuhnya pemerintahan komunis telah menyebabkan penutupan sebagian lintas, jalur kereta api anak terus dipertahankan fungsiya di negara-negara bekas Soviet dan negara-negara Eropa Timur .
Many children's railways were built on parkland in urban areas.
Banyak jalur kereta api anak dibangun di taman kota.
Child volunteers and socialist fiscal policy enabled the existence of many of these railways.
Relawan anak dan kebijakan fiskal sosialis memungkinkan adanya lintas kereta api ini.
Children's railways which still carry traffic have often retained their original infrastructure and rolling stock, including vintage steam locomotives; some have acquired heritage vehicles from other railways.
Lintas kereta api anak yang masih mengangkut lalu lintas sering mempertahankan prasarana dan sarananya, termasuk lokomotif uap kuno; sebagian juga mendatangkan sarana kuno dari lintas lain.
Examples of children's railways with steam locomotives include the Dresden Park Railway in Germany; the Gyermekvasút in Budapest; the Park Railway Maltanka in Poznań; the Košice Children's Railway in Slovakia, and the 7+1⁄4 in (184 mm) gauge steam railway on the grounds of St Nicholas' School in Merstham, Surrey, which the children help operate with assistance from the East Surrey 16mm Group and other volunteers.

Creating passages for trains up steep hills and through mountain regions offers many obstacles which call for technical solutions.
Pembangunan jalur kereta api di gunung memiliki kendala yang membutuhkan banyak keahlian teknis.
At high altitudes, construction and logistical difficulties, limited urban development and demand for transport and special rolling-stock requirements have left many mountain railways unmodernized.
Pada ketinggian yang tinggi, kesulitan konstruksi dan logistik, pembangunan wilayah yang terbatas, dan permintaan kebutuhan transportasi dan sarana menyebabkan jalur kereta api gunung sukar dimodernisasi.
The engineering feats of past railway builders and views of pristine mountain scenes have made many railways in mountainous areas profitable tourist attractions.
