What is a "railcar"?
A railcar is a type of railway vehicle that is designed to carry passengers or cargo. It typically has its own engine or motor, allowing it to move independently without needing a separate locomotive. Railcars are used on trains, especially for short-distance routes, and can be found in various types, such as passenger railcars for transporting people or freight railcars for carrying goods. In some cases, railcars are designed to operate on smaller, less busy tracks, providing a more efficient and cost-effective way of transportation compared to longer trains.
