Conventional trains using coal or diesel,harm the environment.The smoke and fumes,they emit pollute the air .This in turn,adds to global warming and global warming leads to climate change.Electric trains do not give off polluting smoke or other gases. This means they are much more eco friendly than trains running on coal or diesel.Electric trains are cheaper to run as well.Since they do not need to carry heavy internal combustion engines or large batteries,they are lighter.This means that they can travel at much faster speeds,and they do not damage the tracks as much as heavy conventional trains.So, maintenance costs are much less which is an added advantage.
An Electric train is a train powered byelectricity. Examples include: Electriclocomotive. Electric multiple unit of self-propelled carriages. Battery electric multiple unit of self-propelled carriages.
