train definition and meaning

What is a "train"?

A train is a type of vehicle that runs on tracks, used for transporting people or goods over long distances. It consists of a series of connected carriages or wagons, which are pulled or pushed by a locomotive, a powerful engine designed to move the train. Trains are powered by various energy sources, including electricity or diesel engines. They are an efficient way to travel, especially for long distances, and are commonly used in many countries for both local and international travel. Trains offer a smooth ride, and their fixed tracks help avoid traffic, making them a reliable form of transportation.

What is a "train"?

A train is a long, flowing extension of fabric that trails behind a garment, typically a wedding or formal dress. The train is attached to the back of the garment, either at the waist or the hemline, and can vary in length from a few inches to several feet. Trains can be made from a variety of fabrics, such as tulle, silk, or satin, and can be embellished with details such as lace, beading, or embroidery. While trains can add a dramatic and romantic effect to a dress, they can also be a practical consideration, as they can make it difficult to walk or move around freely. As such, they are often bustled or gathered up during certain parts of an event or ceremony, such as the reception or dancing.
