Railway Electrification
Railway electrification is the use of electric power for the propulsion of rail transport. Electric railways use either electric locomotives (hauling passengers or Rail freight transport, freight in separate cars), electric multiple units (Passenger car (rail), passenger cars with their own motors) or both. Electricity is typically generated in large and relatively efficient electric power station, generating stations, transmitted to the railway network and distributed to the trains. Some electric railways have their own dedicated generating stations and electric transmission line, transmission lines, but most purchase power from an electric utility. The railway usually provides its own distribution lines, switches, and transformers.
