What is a "freight train"?
A freight train is a type of train designed to transport goods and cargo rather than passengers. These trains carry a wide variety of items, such as raw materials, manufactured goods, or products, using large cargo cars. Freight trains are often longer and heavier than passenger trains and are essential for moving goods over long distances, typically between cities or industrial areas. They are an important part of the transportation system, helping to move products efficiently and cost-effectively, often on dedicated freight tracks.
Example
The freight train rumbled through the countryside, carrying containers of manufactured goods to distribution centers.
Freight trains are essential for transporting bulk commodities such as coal, grain, and chemicals over long distances.
