How do you tell if a train is express or local?
How do you tell if a train is express or local? Local service: A train which always operates and stops at every station on the line. Express service: A train that does not always operate or sometimes skips a station.
Are there different types of trains?
Trains can be sorted into types based on whether they haul passengers or freight (though mixed trains which haul both exist), by their weight (heavy rail for regular trains, light rail for lighter rapid transit systems), by their speed, and by what form of track they use.
What is the meaning of local and express train?
Local trains stop at many more stations (better yet, all stations) en route from their origin to their terminating destination. Express trains are more direct, with much fewer stops in between. Express trains focus merely on major cities and/or streets.
