passenger train
Rail people-mover
A passenger train is a train designed to carry people rather than freight or cargo.
It consists of one or more passenger cars pulled by a locomotive or powered by motors in the cars themselves.
Passenger trains range from local commuter services connecting suburbs to city centers, to long-distance rail lines crossing entire countries.
The passenger train from Chicago to Los Angeles takes about two days.
