TRAIN.....NOW AND THEN....

In daily life, people usually have to travel some distances in order to reach their workplace, to visit their friends or just hanging out. Immerial, various transport has been created to facilitate public. One of them is train. In this essay, i would like to talk about the pros and cons between the old train and the new train.

There are some similarities between these two version of trains. The first one is about the movement. Both of this vehicles move along a track called railway.Typical railway tracks consist of two parallel rails, normally made of steel, secured to crossbeams. The second one is the waiting station. As we all know, we have to wait for the train at the station that provided to us. And the last one is the driver. All train are controlled by the driver. Without a man called driver, the train will not be able to move.

Next, lets look at their contrasts. The major difference that we can see in both trains is the speed. The old train moves slow than the new train because it used steam to generate the electricity while the new one used electricity and diesel fuel for power. Then, the second difference is the environment. Inside the steam locomotive there is water and a fire to heat the water to make the steam. When it is moving, there is a great amount of steam or smoke coming out from the stack. Compare to the modern locomotive, there is no smoke coming out when it moved because it used electricity to make the wheels go round. Last but not least, inside the train. There are a lot of improvements have been made to the train. As before, there is no cushion seat is provide to the passenger to sit. But now, not only the cushion seat, in fact, there is a television provided in the train to passenger to get rid of bored when they go for a long distances.

In conclusion, i think that travelling by train could be really amazing. Whether the new train or the old train, you can enjoy your journey seeing the view outside the window. Besides, train is much more secure in most of the cases anad the bad atmosphere conditions don't affect it. If i have to travel for longer distances, I may consider to take the train as my transport.
