A train be a gangbangin' form of rail transport consistin of a seriez of connected vehiclez dat generally run along a railroad (or railway) track ta transhiznit passengers or cargo (also known as "freight" or "goods"). Da word "train" be reppin tha Oldskool French trahiner, derived from tha Latin trahere meanin "to pull" or "to draw".[1]

Motizzle juice fo' a train is provided by a separate locomotive or individual motors up in a self-propelled multiple unit. Da term "engine" is often used as a alternatizzle ta locomotizzle fo' realz. Although historically steam propulsion dominated, da most thugged-out common typez of locomotizzle is diesel n' electric, tha latta supplied by overhead wires or additionizzle rails. Trains can also be hauled by horses, pulled by engine or water-driven cable or wire winch, run downhill rockin gravity, or powered by pneumatics, gas turbines or electric batteries.

Da track probably consistz of two hustlin rails wit a fixed spacing, which may be supplemented by additionizzle rails like fuckin electric conductin rails ("third rail") n' rack rails. Monorails n' maglev guideways is also occasionally used.[2]

Passenger trains include passenger-carryin vehiclez n' can often be straight-up long n' fast. High-speed rail systems fuckin started expandin rapidly up in tha late 20th century, n' dis remains a major subject of further pimpment. Da term "light rail" is sometimes used ta refer ta a modern tram system yo, but it may also mean a intermediate form between a tram n' a train, similar ta a heavy rail rapid transit system.

Freight (goods) trains use freight cars (or wagons/trucks) ta transhiznit loot or shiznit (cargo). Well shiiiit, it is possible ta carry passengers n' freight up in tha same train rockin a mixed consist.

Rail rides n' machinery dat is used fo' tha maintenizzle n' repair of tracks, is termed "maintenizzle of way" shit; these may be assembled tha fuck into maintenizzle of way trains. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Similarly, dedicated trains may be used ta provide support skillz ta stations along a train line, like fuckin garbage or revenue collection.

Types

There is various typez of trains dat is designed fo' particular purposes fo' realz. A train can consist of a cold-ass lil combination of one or mo' locomotives n' attached railroad cars, or a self-propelled multiple unit, or occasionally a single or articulated powered pimp called a railcar. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Special kindz of train hustlin on correspondin purpose-built "railways" is monorails, high-speed railways, maglev, atmospheric railways, rubber-tired underground, funicular n' cog railways.

A passenger train consistz of one or mo' locomotives n' (usually) nuff muthafuckin pimpes fo' realz. Alternatively, a train may consist entirely of passenger-carryin pimpes, some or all of which is powered; dis is known as a "multiple unit". In nuff partz of tha ghetto, particularly tha Far Eastside n' Europe, high-speed rail is used extensively fo' passenger travel. Freight trains consist of cars, wagons or trucks rather than carriages, though some parcel n' mail trains (especially Travellin Post Offices) step tha fuck up outwardly ta be mo' like passenger trains. Trains can also have mixed consist, wit both passenger accommodation n' freight hoopties. Put ya muthafuckin choppers up if ya feel dis! These mixed trains is most likely ta be used fo' skillz dat run infrequently, where tha provision of separate passenger n' freight trains would not be cost-effectizzle yo, but tha disparate needz of passengers n' freight means dat dis be avoided where possible. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Special trains is also used fo' track maintenance; up in some places, dis is called "maintenizzle of way".

In tha United Mackdaddydom, a train hauled rockin two locomotives is known as a "double-headed" train. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. In Canada n' tha United Hoods, it is like common fo' a long-ass freight train ta be headed by three or mo' locomotives fo' realz. A train wit a locomotizzle attached at both endz is busted lyrics bout as "top n' tailed", dis practice typically bein used when there be no reversin facilitizzles available. Where a second locomotizzle be attached temporarily ta assist a train when ascendin steep banks or gradients (or ta provide brakin juice fo' a thugged-out descent), dis is referred ta as "banking" up in tha UK. Many loaded trains up in tha US is assembled rockin one or mo' locomotives up in tha middle or all up in tha rear of tha train, which is then operated remotely from tha lead cab. This is referred ta as "DP" or "Distributed Power."

Terminology

Da railway terminology dat is used ta describe a train varies between countries.

United Mackdaddydom

In tha United Mackdaddydom, tha interchangeable terms set n' unit is used ta refer ta a crew of permanently or semi-permanently coupled hoopties, like fuckin dem of a multiple unit. While when referrin ta a train made up of a variety of hoopties, or of nuff muthafuckin sets/units, tha term formation is used. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! (Although tha UK hood n' media often forgo formation, fo' simply train.) Da word rake be also used fo' a crew of pimpes or wagons.

Yo, section 83(1) of tha UKz Railways Act 1993 defines "train" as bigs up:

a) two or mo' shit of rollin stock coupled together, at least one of which be a locomotive; or b) a locomotizzle not coupled ta any other rollin stock.

Other countries

Da Atchison, Topeka n' Gangsta Fe Railwayz 1948 operatin rulez define a train as: "An engine or mo' than one engine coupled, wit or without cars, displayin markers."[3]

In Uptown America, Australia n' other countries, tha term consist ( KON-sist) is used ta describe tha crew of rail vehiclez dat make up a train. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. When specifically referrin ta motizzle power, tha term refers ta tha crew of locomotives powerin tha train, as do lash-up. Da term trainset refers ta a crew of rollin stock dat is permanently or semi-permanently coupled together ta form a unified set of shiznit (the term is most often applied ta passenger train configurations).

Bogies

View from under tha bogie of a train

A bogie ( BOH-ghee) be a wheeled wagon or trolley. In mechanics terms, a funky-ass bogie be a chassis or framework carryin wheels, attached ta a vehicle. Well shiiiit, it can be fixed up in place, as on a cold-ass lil cargo truck, mounted on a swivel, as on a railway carriage or locomotive, or sprung as up in tha suspendaz of a cold-ass lil caterpillar tracked vehicle. Usually, two bogies is fitted ta each carriage, wagon or locomotive, one at each end yo, but it ain't no stoppin cause I be still poppin' fo' realz. An alternate configuration, which is often used up in articulated hoopties, places tha bogies (often Jacobs bogies) under tha connection between tha carriages or wagons. Most bogies have two axles, as dis is tha simplest design yo, but some rides designed fo' mad heavy loadz done been built wit up ta five axlez per bogie yo. Heavy-duty rides may have mo' than two bogies rockin span bolsters ta equalize tha load n' connect tha bogies ta tha cars. Usually, tha train floor be at a level above tha bogies yo, but tha floor of tha hoopty may be lower between bogies, like fuckin fo' a thugged-out double decker train ta increase interior space while stayin within height restrictions, or up in easy as fuck -access, stepless-entry, low-floor trains.

Motizzle power

Da first trains was rope-hauled, gravitizzle powered or pulled by horses yo, but from tha early 19th century almost all trains was powered by steam locomotives. From tha 1910s onwards, steam locomotives fuckin started ta be replaced wit diesel n' electric locomotives; although these freshly smoked up formz of propulsion was far mo' complex n' high-rollin' than steam power, they was less labor-intensive, n' cleaner n' shiznit fo' realz. At bout tha same time, self-propelled multiple unit vehiclez (both diesel n' electric) became much mo' widely used up in passenger service. Dieselisation of locomotives up in day-to-dizzle use was completed up in most ghettos by tha 1970s. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Steam locomotives is still used up in heritage railways operated up in nuff ghettos fo' tha leisure n' enthusiast market.[citation needed]

Electric traction offers a lower cost per mile of train operation but at a higher initial cost, which can only be justified on high traffic lines. Even though tha cost per mile of construction is much higher, electric traction is mo' viable durin operation cuz diesel import costs is substantially higher n' shit. Electric trains receive they current via overhead lines or all up in a third rail electric system.[citation needed]

A pimpin technologizzle is fuel cells, which combine tha advantage of not needin a electrical system up in place, wit tha advantage of emissionless operation. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. But fuck dat shiznit yo, tha word on tha street is dat a impediment is substantial initial cost associated wit fuel cell vehiclez.[4]

Passenger trains

A passenger train includes passenger-carryin vehiclez n' can often be straight-up long n' fast. Well shiiiit, it may be a self-powered multiple unit or railcar, or a cold-ass lil combination of one or mo' locomotives n' one or mo' unpowered trailaz known as coaches, rides or carriages. Passenger trains travel between stations or depots, where passengers may board n' disembark. In most cases, passenger trains operate on a gangbangin' fixed schedule n' have superior track occupancy muthafuckin rights over freight trains.

Unlike freight trains, passenger trains must supply head-end power ta each pimp fo' such purposes as lightin n' heating, etc. This can be drawn directly from tha locomotivez prime mover (modified fo' tha purpose), or from a separate diesel generator up in tha locomotizzle fo' realz. A separate generator van may be used fo' passenger skillz on remote routes where a head-end-equipped locomotizzle aint always available.[5][6]

Da oversight of a passenger train is tha responsibilitizzle of tha conductor, whoz ass is sometimes assisted by other crew thugz like fuckin steez attendants or porters. Durin tha peak up in popularitizzle of Uptown Gangsta passenger rail travel, long-distizzle trains carried two conductors: tha main train conductor was accompanied by a Pullman conductor, up in charge of chillin car personnel.

Many prestigious passenger train skillz done been bestowed a special name, a shitload of which have become hyped up in literature n' fiction. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. In past years, railroadaz often referred ta passenger trains as tha "varnish", alludin ta tha bygone minutez of wooden-bodied pimpes wit they lustrous exterior finishes n' fancy livery. "Blockin tha varnish" meant dat a slow-movin freight train was obstructin a gangbangin' fast passenger train, causin delays.

Yo, some passenger trains, both long-distizzle n' short-distance, may use bi-level (double-decker) rides ta carry mo' passengers per train. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Hoopty design n' tha general safety of passenger trains have dramatically evolved over time, makin travel by rail remarkably safe.

Long-distizzle trains

Long-distizzle trains travel between nuff ghettos or regionz of a cold-ass lil ghetto, n' sometimes cross nuff muthafuckin countries. Put ya muthafuckin choppers up if ya feel dis! They often gotz a dinin car or restaurant hoopty ta allow passengers ta git a meal durin tha course of they journey. Trains pimpin' overnight may also have chillin cars. Currently much of travel on these distancez of over 500 milez (800 km) is done by air up in nuff ghettos but up in others long-distizzle travel by rail be a ghettofab or tha only skanky way ta travel long distances.

High-speed rail

One notable n' growin long-distizzle train category is high-speed rail, which generally runs at speedz above 200 km/h (120 mph) n' often operates on dedicated track dat is surveyed n' prepared ta accommodate high speeds. Da first successful example of a high-speed passenger rail system was Japanz Shinkansen, colloquially known as tha "cap train", which commenced operation up in October 1964.

Da fastest wheeled train hustlin on rails is Francez TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse, literally "high speed train") which, under test conditions up in 2007, bigged up a speed of 574.8 km/h (357.2 mph), twice tha takeoff speed of a Boein 727 airliner n' shit. Da TGV runs at a maximum revenue speed of 300�"320 km/h (190�"200 mph), as do Germanyz ICE (Inter-Citizzle Express) n' Spainz AVE (Alta Velocidad Española). Da highest speed currently attained up in scheduled revenue operation is 350 km/h (220 mph) on tha Beijing�"Tianjin Intercitizzle Rail n' Wuhan�"Guangzhou High-Speed Railway systems up in China.

In most cases, high-speed rail travel is time- n' cost-competitizzle wit air travel when distances do not exceed 500 ta 600 km (310 ta 370 mi), as airport check-in n' boardin procedures can add at least two minutes ta tha overall transit time.[8] Also, rail operatin costs over these distances may be lower when tha amount of jet fuel consumed by a airliner durin takeoff n' climbout is taken tha fuck into consideration. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch fo' realz. Air travel becomes mo' cost-competitizzle as tha travel distizzle increases cuz tha gin n juice accounts fo' less of tha overall operatin cost of tha airliner.

Yo, some high-speed rail systems employ tiltin technology ta improve stabilitizzle up in curves. Examplez of tiltin trains is tha Advanced Passenger Train (APT), tha Pendolino, tha N700 Series Shinkansen, Amtrakz Acela n' tha Spanish Talgo. Tiltin be a thugged-out dynamic form of superelevation, allowin both low- n' high-speed traffic ta use tha same trackage (though not simultaneously), as well as producin a mo' laid back ride fo' passengers.

Inter-citizzle trains

"Inter-city" be a general term fo' any rail steez dat uses trains wit limited stops ta provide fast long-distizzle travel. Inter-citizzle skillz can be divided tha fuck into three major groups:

InterCity: rockin high-speed trains ta connect ghettos, bypassin all intermediate stations, thus linkin major population hubs up in tha fastest time possible

Express: callin at some intermediate stations between ghettos, servin larger urban communities

Regional: callin at all intermediate stations between ghettos, servin smalla communitizzles along tha route

Da distinction between tha three typez of inter-citizzle rail steez may be unclear; trains can run as InterCitizzle skillz between major ghettos, then revert ta a express (or even regional) train steez ta reach communitizzles all up in tha furthest pointz of tha journey. This practice allows marginal communitizzles ta be served up in da most thugged-out cost-effectizzle way, all up in tha expense of a longer trip time fo' dem wishin ta travel ta tha terminus station.

Regionizzle trains

Regionizzle trains probably connect between towns n' ghettos, servin smalla urban (and some rural) communitizzles en route. These skillz is provided ta hook up local traffic demand up in less accessible areas.

Higher-speed rail

Higher-speed rail be a special category of trains. Da trains fo' higher-speed rail skillz can operate at top speedz dat is higher than conventionizzle inter-citizzle trains but tha speedz aint as high as dem up in tha high-speed rail skillz. These skillz is provided afta improvements ta tha conventionizzle rail infrastructure ta support trains dat can operate safely at higher speeds.

Short-distizzle trains

Commuta trains

For shorta distances nuff ghettos have networkz of commuta trains (also known as suburban trains) servin tha hood n' its suburbs. Trains is a straight-up efficient mode of transport ta cope wit big-ass traffic demand up in a metropolis. Compared wit road transport, it carries nuff playas wit much smalla land area n' lil air bullshit. Commuta rail also travels longer ranges compared ta rapid transit systems wit comparatively less frequency n' may share tracks wit other trains.[10]

Yo, some carriages may be laid up ta have mo' standin room than seats, or ta facilitate tha carryin of prams, cyclez or wheelchairs. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Some ghettos have double-decked passenger trains fo' use up in conurbations. Double deck high speed n' chilla trains is becomin mo' common up in mainland Europe.

Yo, sometimes off tha hook congestion of commuta trains can become a problem. For example, a estimated 3.5 mazillion passengers ride every last muthafuckin dizzle on Yamanote Line up in Tokyo, Japan, wit its 29 stations. For comparison, tha New York Citizzle Subway carries 5.7 mazillion passengers per dizzle wit 472 stations. Special rides have bench seats fold up ta provide standin room only durin tha mornin rush minute on dis line. In tha past dis train has included 2 rides wit six doors on each side ta shorten tha time fo' passengers ta git on n' off at station.

Passenger trains probably have emergency brake handlez (or a "communication cord") dat tha hood can operate, should a emergency occur (like if one of mah thugs is stuck on tha train doors). This causes tha train tha emergency cord is pulled in, n' up in some cases, all tha trains up in tha area ta stop. Because tha emergency brake cord can stop all tha trains up in tha area ta stop causin delays, mah playas misusin tha emergency brake cord is ghon be punished wit heavy fines.

Various commuta n' suburban train operators (e.g. Sydney Trains, NJ Transit, Paris RER) use double-decker trains. Double-decker trains offer increased capacitizzle even when hustlin fewer skillz.[11]

Within ghettos

Rapid transit

Big-Ass ghettos often gotz a rapid transit system, also called "metro", "underground", "subway" or "tube". Da trains is electrically powered, probably by third rail, n' they railroadz is separate from other traffic, probably without level crossings. Usually they run up in tunnels up in tha hood centa n' sometimes on elevated structures up in tha outa partz of tha hood. They can accelerate n' decelerate fasta than heavier, long-distizzle trains.

Da general term "rapid transit" is used fo' hood transhiznit like fuckin commuta trains, metro n' light rail. But fuck dat shiznit yo, tha word on tha street is dat skillz on tha New York Citizzle Subway done been referred ta as "trains", while skillz on tha London Underground is commonly referred ta as "tube trains" or "tubes".

Tram

In tha UK, tha distinction between a tramway n' a railway is precise n' defined up in law. In Canada n' tha US, such street railways is referred ta as trolleys or streetcars. Da key physical difference between a railroad n' a trolley system is dat tha latta runs primarily on hood streets, whereas trains gotz a right-of-way separated from tha hood streets, n' you can put dat on yo' toast. Often tha US-style interurban n' modern light rail is trippin wit a trolley system, as it too may run on tha street fo' short or medium-length sections. In some languages, tha word tram also refers ta interurban n' light rail-style networks, up in particular Dutch.

Da length of a tram or trolley may be determined by nationistic regulations. Germany has tha so-called Bo-Strab standard, restrictin tha length of a tram ta 75 meters, while up in tha US, hoopty length is normally restricted by local authorities, often allowin only a single type of hoopty ta operate on tha network.

Light rail

Da term "light rail" is sometimes used fo' a modern tram system, despite light rail lines commonly havin a mostly exclusive right-of-way, mo' similar ta dat of a heavy-rail line n' less like dat of a tramway. Well shiiiit, it may also mean a intermediate form between a tram n' a train, similar ta a subway, except dat it may have level crossings which is then probably protected wit crossin gates. In US terminology, these systems is often referred ta as "inter-urban" cuz they connect larger urban areas up in tha vicinitizzle of a major hood ta tha centa of tha hood. Modern light rail systems often use abandoned heavy rail rights-of-way (e.g. forma railway lines) ta revitalize deprived areas n' redevelopment sites up in n' round big-ass agglomerations.

Monorail

Monorails was pimped ta hook up medium-demand traffic up in urban transit, n' consist of a train hustlin on a single rail, typically elevated. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! This type'a shiznit happens all tha time. Monorails represent a relatively lil' small-ass part of tha overall railway field. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Almost all monorail trains use linear induction motors.[12][13]

Maglev

To big up much fasta operation over 500 km/h (310 mph), innovatizzle maglev technologizzle has been researched since tha early 20th century. Da technologizzle uses magnets ta levitate tha train above tha track, reducin friction n' allowin higher speedz fo' realz. An early prototype was demonstrated up in 1913. Da first commercial maglev train was a airport shuttle introduced up in 1984 at Birmingham Airport up in England.

Da Shanghai Maglev Train, opened up in 2003, is tha fastest commercial train steez of any kind, operatin at speedz of up ta 430 km/h (270 mph). Maglev has not yet been used fo' inter-citizzle mass transit routes.

Railcar

In British n' Australian Gangsta, a "railcar" be a self-propelled railway vehicle designed ta transhiznit passengers. Da term is probably used up in reference ta a train consistin of a single passenger car (carriage, pimp) wit a thugged-out driverz cab at one or both ends. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Some railways, e.g. the Great Westside Railway, used tha term "railmotor". If tha railcar be able ta pull a gangbangin' full train, it is mo' likely ta be called a "motor pimp" or a "motor car".[14] Da term "railcar" is sometimes also used as a alternatizzle name fo' tha lil' small-ass typez of multiple unit dat consist of mo' than one pimp.

Other types

Flyin Scotsman A British heritage passenger train hauled by tha phat locomotizzle

Named trains

Railway g-units often give a name ta a train steez as a marketin exercise, ta attract mo' passengers n' bust recognizzle fo' tha company. Namin is probably reserved fo' da most thugged-out prestigious skillz, like fuckin high-speed express trains dat run between major ghettos, stoppin at few intermediate stations, or fo' particularly luxurious trains.

Da namez of special passenger trains have passed tha fuck into ghettofab culture: tha Orient Express has been a settin fo' films n' other workz of fiction. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Da Flyin Scotsman, Golden Arrow, n' Royal Scot is examplez of hyped British trains; tha Texas Eagle n' California Zephyr is particularly well known up in tha US; n' tha Red Arrow be a funky-ass bigged up Russian chilla train. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. In India, a shitload of tha ghettofab specially-named train skillz is tha Brindavan Express (Chennai�"Bengaluru), Deccan Biatch (Mumbai CST�"Pune), n' Flyin Ranee (Mumbai Central�"Surat).

A less common practice is tha namin of freight trains, fo' tha same commercial reasons. In tha 1960s, tha Condor was a overnight London ta Glasgow express loot train, hauled by pairz of Metro-Vick diesel locomotives. In tha mid-1960s, British Rail introduced tha Freightliner brand, fo' tha freshly smoked up train skillz carryin containers between dedicated terminals round tha rail network. Da Rev. W fo' realz. Awdry also named freight trains, coinin tha name "Flyin Kipper" fo' tha overnight express fish train dat rocked up in his stories up in Da Railway Series books.

Airport trains

Airport trains transhiznit playas between terminals within a airport complex.

Heritage trains

Heritage trains is operated by volunteers, often railfans, as a tourist attraction. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Usually trains is formed from phat vehiclez retired from nationistic commercial operation.

Mine trains

Mine trains is operated up in big-ass mines n' carry both workers n' goods.

Overland trains

Overland trains is used ta carry cargo over rough terrain.

Freight trains

A freight train (or "loot train") uses freight rides or wagons (also known as "trucks" or "loot wagons") ta transhiznit loot or shiznit (cargo) �" essentially any train dat aint used fo' carryin passengers. Much of tha ghettoz freight is transported by train, n' tha rail system up in tha US is used mostly fo' transportin freight rather than passengers.

Under tha right circumstances, transportin freight by train is highly economic, n' also mo' juice efficient than transportin freight by road. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Rail freight is most economic when loot is bein carried up in bulk n' over big-ass distances yo, but it is less suited ta short distances n' lil' small-ass loads. Bulk aggregate movementz of a mere twenty milez (32 km) can be cost effective, even allowin fo' trans-shipment costs which dominizzle up in nuff cases; modern practices like fuckin intermodal container freight is aimed at minimizin these costs.

Da main disadvantage of rail freight is its lack of flexibilitizzle n' fo' dis reason, rail has lost much of tha freight bidnizz ta road competition. Many posses is tryin ta encourage mo' freight back onto trains cuz of tha benefits dat it would brang.

There is nuff different typez of freight train, used fo' carryin a big-ass variety of different kindz of freight, wit various typez of wagon. One of da most thugged-out common types on modern railways is intermodal (container) trains, where tha containers can be lifted on n' off tha train by cranes n' loaded off or onto trucks or ships. In tha US, dis type of freight train has largely superseded tha traditionizzle boxcar (wagon-load) type of freight train, which requires tha cargo ta be loaded or unloaded manually. In Europe tha slidin wall wagon has taken over from tha ordinary covered loot wagon.

In some ghettos "piggy-back" trains or rollin highways is used. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! In tha latta case trucks can drive straight onto tha train n' drive off again n' again n' again when tha end destination is reached. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! A system like dis is used all up in tha Channel Tunnel between England n' France, n' fo' tha trans-Alpine steez between Frizzle n' Italy (this steez uses Modalohr road traila carriers). "Piggy-back" trains is tha fastest growin type of freight train up in tha US, where they is also known as "trailer on flatcar" or TOFC trains. Piggy-back trains require no special modifications ta tha vehiclez bein carried. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! An alternatizzle type of "intermodal" vehicle, known as a roadrailer, is designed ta be physically attached ta tha train. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Da original gangsta trailaz was fitted wit two setz of wheels: one set flanged, fo' tha traila ta run connected ta other such trailaz as a rail hoopty up in a train; n' one set wit tires, fo' use as tha semi-trailer of a road vehicle. Mo' modern trailaz have only road wheels n' is designed ta be carried on specially adapted bogies (trucks) when movin on rails.

There is also nuff other typez of wagon, like fuckin "low loader" wagons or well wagons fo' transportin road hoopties. Put ya muthafuckin choppers up if ya feel dis! There is refrigerator cars fo' transportin chickens like fuckin ice cream. There is simple typez of open-topped wagons fo' transportin minerals n' bulk material like fuckin coal, n' tankers fo' transportin liquidz n' gases. Today, however, most coal n' aggregates is moved up in hopper wagons dat can be filled n' discharged rapidly, ta enable efficient handlin of tha shit.

Freight trains is sometimes illegally boarded by passengers whoz ass want a gangbangin' free ride, or aint gots tha scrilla ta travel by ordinary means. This is referred ta as "freighthopping." A common way of boardin tha train illegally is by sneakin tha fuck into a train yard n' stowin away up in a unattended boxcar; a mo' fucked up practice is tryin ta catch a train "on tha fly", dat is, while it is moving, leadin ta occasionizzle fatalities. Put ya muthafuckin choppers up if ya feel dis! Railroadz treat it as trespassin n' may prosecute it as such.
