Essay on Railways
Introduction
Railways are of great use to us. They were introduced into India by the English.
Description
There is an engine at the head of the train. Behind it there are several carriages. The engine and the carriage together are called a train. The train runs over a pair of steel rails. The rails are parallel to each other. They are placed on thick planks of wood. The planks ar called 'sleepers'. There are three classes of railway lines. The widest is called the Broad Gauge, the second is the Metre Gauge and the third, the Narrow Gauge.
As the engine draws the carriages, it is the most important thing. It is called the steam engine, because it is worked by steam which is produced by burning coal. The steam engine was first invented by James Watt. It was improved by another man named George Stephenson. Coal is necessary to make them run. We have now electric trains. They run with the help of electricity. An electric train runs swifter than a train with a steam engine.

Goods also can be carried from one place to another quickly by means of railways. It is also cheap and convenient. Thus people cantravel safely, and the journey is not expensive.
