#Question. Why are Steam Engines no longer in Use?
#Answer. Steam Engines are fired with coal from a heater and they pollute the air. Electric Engines are faster and also more powerful, and they can travel through mountainous regions; however, they need a network of overhead lines and a reliable power supply. Thus, in big countries, like the USA or Russia mainly diesel engines are used. These Diesel Engines are Strong and keep fuel on board. Steam Engines operate only in a few countries like Myanmar or Zimbabwe; they are also used for recreational purposes.

#Question. How Does Tilt Technology Speed up a Train?
#Answer. Just as the fast cars can often ‘Go off the Curve’ due to the Centrifugal Force, Trains too can lose contact with the Tracks and get derailed while negotiating curves. Experts were long in search of a technology to prevent this danger which trains had to avoid by applying brakes strongly before entering curves. The solution was offered by Tilt Technology, by which engines and coaches could be slightly tilted towards the side. Due to the Tilt, the centre of gravity got shifted around the curves in the tracks and the wheels thus remained connected with the rails. Tilt Technology thus successfully countered centrifugal force. With the help of this...
