就愛搭火車!All Aboard!

對某些人而言,沒有比火車更酷的了!For some people, there’s nothing better than a train!

 

鐵道迷不只喜歡坐火車而已;他們還喜歡在火車廂和火車頭四處爬上爬下,研究關於鐵道的一切。

沒有別的地方比鐵道博物館更適合做這樣的事了;鐵道博物館收藏貨真價實的火車以及與火車相關的照片暨工藝展品。

鐵道迷可以在日本京都的京都鐵道博物館看到日本著名的子彈列車。

這些列車是日本高速鐵路革新下的首批成品。

美國的火車則於威斯康辛州綠灣的國家鐵路博物館展出。

鐵道迷能夠漫步在數十列火車間,欣賞這些曾在全美各地運載乘客以及貨物的火車。

比利時布鲁塞爾的火車世界,南於二O一五年開幕。

館內收藏了歐洲大陸最古老的火車頭,年代可追溯至一八四五年。

這座博物館既頌揚舊時榮光,亦展望鐵道旅遊之未來遠景。

一趟絕妙的火車之旅或是造訪一座鐵道博物館,或許就足以讓你我變成一個鐵道迷!

 

Railfans don't just like to ride trains. They like to climb on and off railcars and locomotives and learn everything about railways. There's no better place to do

that than at a railway museum. These museums contain real trains as well as exhibits of photos and artifacts from trains.

 Railfans can see Japan's famous bullet trains in The Kyoto Railway Museum in Kyoto, Japan. These trains were the first in Japan's high-speed train revolution.

 

America's trains are on display in the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Fans can wander among dozens of trains that transported people and goods across the United States.

 Train World, in Brussels, Belgium, just opened in 2015. It contains the oldest locomotive in continental Europe which dates from 1845. The museum celebrates the past and looks to the future of train travel.

 An incredible train ride or visit to a railway museum may be enough to turn anyone into a railfan!

railcar

軌車是設計用於運送乘客的自推式鐵路車輛。術語“有軌車”通常用於指代由單輛長途客車組成的列車,該列車在一端或兩端具有駕駛室。某些鐵路公司,例如Great Western,將此類車輛稱為“鐵路發動機”。在技​​術上的鐵路使用中,也能夠牽引火車的自推式客運車輛通常被稱為“鐵路機動教練”或“機動車輛”

locomotive
