Which are universal for all the world. Beside of these factors there are operators which are almost uncountable around the world.<br>
<br>
Locomotive Engine:<br>
Steam, Diesel, Electric.<br>
<br>
Train category:<br>
Commuter, subway, city transportation, suburb, long distance, sleeping, express, high speed, special event, freight, shunting, armored, etc.<br>
Across European countries, very common are following categories of passenger trains: InterCity, ICE (InterCity Express), EC (EuroCity), Regio, InterRegio, Night Train.<br>
