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

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

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

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

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

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

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

• 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.

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