Hello my friends!!!
I am on the railway station – going on a train ride.
It will be more comfortable and faster than by car.
Did you know my friends, that trains were invented much earlier than cars?
It’s first steam trains.
They had steam engine that worked thanks to the accumulation of water vapor.
People used wood, oil and coal to fuel these trains.
The fuel burned and water vapor accumulated in boiler, and this is what resulted in the
movement of the locomotive wheels.
Locomotive is the first and main carriage in the train.
It pulls all other carriages.
But locomotive cannot carry passengers and luggage.
The driver of the train is called motorman.
There is a person who is responsible for the fuel supply to the boiler – he is called
stoker.
These trains had carriages for passengers and for big loads.
It’s interesting that the train has two signals.
One is quiet and high-pitched whistle that reported about various maneuvers of the train.
Second - Typhon is always loud and lower sound.
It is mostly used in the route of the train.
In front of the locomotive, there is a big round lamp on top – projector (spotlight).
Its light is bright yellow, and it helps to see at night on the railway.
The trains in nowadays looks different.
Also they have different fuel – diesel.
Modern trains are more powerful, faster and more reliable.
People go on a train rides with pleasure – it’s so comfortable.
Sometimes you can get much faster from one city to another by train than by car.
In addition, they are very useful when you want to transfer very big things.
Trains can carry different dangerous things – and there are special signs on such carriages!
Trains also can transfer cars on the open platforms.
Look here my friends!!!!!
It’s electric train, which uses electricity to move.
It looks like tram or trolleybus with their attachment on top that attach to electrical
energy.
Electric trains are often used for close distance.
They can go fast enough and without noise.
It’s important when they go pass the city.
Electric trains are used only for passengers!
Ohhhh!
Almost forgot!!!
Trains go on special rails.
They make the route for trains.
There is special traffic regulations and signs.
There is a gate on a railway crossing, that informs the drivers about the traffic.
If the gate is down and the railway traffic light is red – it means the train is coming,
and other transport cannot go!
There is a loud signal too!
Ok my friends!
I will go now!
My train is going to leave soon.
I need to find my carriage too!
Wow!
Here is my compartment!
The train ride started!!!!!
Hooray!!!!
Look at beautiful view from the train!
I think the trip will be exiting!!!
I’ll see many new cities, different culture and traditions!
Ok.
So today we learned a lot about trains!
Saw the first trains, and learned about their fuel.
And we learned a bit about regulations on the railway.
It was soooooo interesting!!!!!
Bye bye!!!!
