Electric trains are railway trains that are powered by electricity, rather than by diesel or steam engines. These trains utilize electric motors to drive their wheels and draw power from an external source, typically through overhead wires or an electrified third rail. Electric trains are known for their efficiency, speed, and reduced environmental impact compared to traditional fossil-fuel-powered trains. They are commonly used in urban transit systems, such as subways and light rail, as well as in intercity services, where they can achieve high speeds and lower operational costs. The use of electric trains contributes to lower greenhouse gas emissions and promotes sustainable transportation solutions in many regions around the world.
