(1)Rail transport is a means of conveyance of passengers
and goods by way of wheeled vehicles running on rail tracks.

on sleepers/ties and ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually

also possible, such as slab track where the rails are fastened to
a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface.
