A train (yeolcha, 列車; North Korean standard language: ryeolcha; English: Train), also called gicha (汽車), refers to a vehicle made of one or more train cars running on tracks, connected to one another in a line. It is the longest means of transport. Trains are typically pulled or pushed by a locomotive or railcar (also simply called an "engine"), but some are self-propelled, as with multiple units. Passengers and freight are carried in railcars, also known as carriages. Trains are designed for a specific gauge, or the distance between the rails. Most trains run on steel tracks with steel wheels, and their low friction makes them more efficient than other forms of transport.
