4rail.net - Basics of Railroading | |
 Basic concepts We've been writing now for half a year about general railroading, referencing the rolling stock, starting to document infrastructure, so it will also be time to start writing a few lines on why railroading exists, which are the great concepts, why the businesses are different around the world, why the infrastructure is so important, etc, etc. And...we wish you could take part in discussion! Some of the subjects to come: - Modularity - Common concepts - Compatible infrastructure - Ownership issues - plus many more to come... Welcome back soon! Modularity   To the top of the page

 Brand new TGV-POS's pose in Paris Gare du Nord for the camera. Almost brand new...the locomotives are new, while the coaches are from the TGV-Reséau sets. Single story trains of 320 km/h serve well the limited numbers of passengers between France and Germany. Once the volumes pick up, it's guaranteed that the double decked coaches will be swapped to these units. Picture by Sanna Siissalo 2008.  4rail.net TGV / AGV page... Super Fast Trains main page... An Eurostar Capital number 3207 unboarding in Paris-GNO. Although Britain is part of the European Union as well, curiously the Eurostars are located behind the gates. While pass control rules are relaxed due to the Schengen agreement between most European countries, Britain makes an exception to the rule. Picture by Sanna Siissalo 2008. 4rail.net
