Some of the largest train boats have several tracks and carry a
train on each. The boats are tied in slips at the shore so that the
tracks meet exactly those on the land.

THE STAGE COACH is used in the country where towns are few. The stages
meet trains at the stations and take on passengers to be carried to
their homes away from the railroad. Some of the stage routes are several
hundred miles long.

THE TUNNELS are passages for trains under mountains, hills and rivers.
The tunnels are dark but the trains are well lighted. Electric motors
are often used, this avoids the smoke of steam engines which is very
unpleasant in the tunnels.
