A train is a set of vehicles on a railway. The ones that carry passengers are referred to as Coaches or Carriages. Some train rides are short and travel within a city. These are known as inter-city trains, like the subway train in New York City.
Other trains can take you long distances. On long-distance trains, you are able to get up and walk around, visit the dining car, or even sleep in your very own bed in the sleeping car.
