What is "rolling stock"?
Rolling stock refers to the vehicles used on a railway, such as trains, carriages, wagons, and locomotives. These vehicles are designed to move along railway tracks and are an essential part of the railway system. Rolling stock includes all types of rail vehicles that are either powered, like locomotives, or non-powered, like passenger cars and cargo wagons. The condition and maintenance of rolling stock are important for the safe and efficient operation of rail services, whether for transporting passengers or goods.
