Trains run on tracks. The tracks are made up of a pair of parallel rails.
Subway trains typically run on electricity that powers electric motors in the train cars. The electricity can come from a variety of sources, including overhead wires, third rails, or onboard batteries.
Yes. Although not an ideal scenario, you can sand the rails and hope for the best.
Trains travel on rails ...
Yes, bullet trains have wheels. They run on rails, just as conventional railroad locomotives and cars do. The trains that operate by magnetic levitation, the so-called MagLev trains, do not have wheels as they ride on a magnetic cushion.
Steel rails laid and pinned down on ties embedded in gravel so that trains may run on them.
The rails themselves are metal. The 'sleepers' the rails rest on are often made from wood - as they flexes while the trains pass over them.
Trains run on rails which have very gently curves. There is, therefore, little slippage in the wheel on the inside rail.

Trains are useful for moving people quickly and safely.Maglev trains use electricity for power. This can come from renewable energy sources, in which case they have no carbon emissions.Maglev trains have no friction with rails and wheels, so they need less energy to run.
