The 32 pages that link to Railway track, each with the reason it gives.

• Rail transportBroader topic: Its geometry and strength determine where trains can travel and how much they can carry.

• Railway electrificationRelated: In many systems, the running rails also carry traction current back toward the supply.

• Railway signallingNarrower topic: The physical route determines where trains can travel and where occupancy must be detected.

• Steam locomotiveNarrower topic: Steel wheels transfer the locomotive’s weight and traction to this running surface.

• Urban rail transitRelated: Track geometry and construction set the routes and speeds urban rail can support.

• Wrought ironRelated: Wrought iron rails replaced earlier materials in the expanding railway systems of the nineteenth century.

• Bessemer processRelated: Bessemer steel supplied stronger, longer-lasting rails for expanding rail networks.

• Railway gaugeNarrower topic: Gauge is one geometric property of the track that constrains train movement.

• George StephensonRelated: Stephenson's railway projects required track designs suited to locomotive loads and routes.

• Qinghai–Tibet RailwayRelated: Track alignment and support must remain stable across frozen ground and extreme temperature changes.

• Freight trainBroader topic: Track geometry and strength constrain freight train routes, speed, and axle loads.

• Railway bridgeRelated: Its alignment and support continue across the bridge, where movement and settlement must be controlled.

• EarthworksRelated: Rail lines require accurately graded, well-compacted formation beneath the track.

• Passenger rail transportRelated: Track alignment and capacity shape where passenger services can run and how often.

• Passenger trainRelated: Rails guide train wheels and transfer vehicle loads to the ground.

• Adhesion railwayNarrower topic: It provides the running surface and geometry for adhesion-based movement.

• FunicularNarrower topic: Funicular cars run on fixed rails rather than steering freely across a surface.

• Overhead LinesRelated: Track geometry sets the route and alignment that overhead conductors must follow.

• Rack railwayNarrower topic: A rack railway adds toothed traction equipment to conventional running track.

• Expansion jointRelated: Rail systems must accommodate temperature-related rail movement through track design and joints.

• Railway engineeringBroader topic: Its geometry and structural capacity determine how safely and smoothly trains can run.

• LocomotiveNarrower topic: Its gauge, curves, and load limits shape where a locomotive can operate.

• Railway platformRelated: Its position and clearance set the platform’s location and usable edge.

• Elevated railwayBroader topic: Rails and their foundations transmit train loads to the elevated structure.

• HorsecarRelated: Rails reduced rolling resistance compared with horse-drawn road vehicles on ordinary streets.

• Rail yardNarrower topic: The yard is built from interconnected tracks that assign places and routes to rail vehicles.

• Rolling stockCompared with: Track is the fixed running surface on which rolling stock operates.

• Danyang–Kunshan Grand BridgeRelated: A stable track system must preserve alignment across the viaduct's many spans.

• HandcarRelated: The handcar’s wheels run on rails, which constrain its movement to the track.

• Inter-city railRelated: Track geometry and condition determine the speed, capacity, and reliability of inter-city trains.

• Railroad carNarrower topic: The track bears each car’s load and constrains its movement.

• Train stationRelated: Tracks carry trains through the station and connect its platforms to the wider network.
