What is a "push–pull train"?
A push-pull train is a type of train that is powered from both ends, allowing it to move in either direction without needing to turn around. This type of train typically has a locomotive at both the front and the rear, so one can push the train while the other pulls it. Push-pull trains are commonly used for passenger services, especially in situations where frequent stops or changes in direction are required, as they do not need to turn around at terminals. This setup helps save time and increase efficiency by reducing the need for switching directions.
Example
The push-pull train makes it easier to change directions at the end of the line.
Many modern railways use push-pull trains to save time and improve efficiency.
The conductor can control the push-pull train from the front or the back.
