context_page_description: A train is a set of cars on a railway. The vehicles that carry freight or are called cars or wagons. The ones that carry passengers are often called coaches or carriages. A place where a train stops to let people get on and off is called a Train station or railway station. Early trains used horse power and ran on wooden or iron tracks. These were used in the Middle Ages. The first steam trains were built in England in the early 19th century. Long before railways, "train" meant any group of vehicles or pack animals traveling in a line, as in wagon train or camel train.
  Trains contain the prime mover and one or more cars. The locomotive or railway engine pulls the cars along the track. The last car you will see on a train is called the caboose. Some trains look like a special bus that can only drive on rails. Trains are used to carry people, as well as cargo, such as raw material, finished goods, and waste.
