rack railroads (light rail transit, rail transit systems, ... Object Groupings and Systems (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Light rail transit in which the vehicles climb grades too steep for normal rail traction modes by means of rotating gears mounted on the train that mesh with a rack between the rails. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Chinese (traditional) ..... 用來爬行陡坡的輕軌系統,用於一般軌道牽引模式無法應付的過陡坡道,在列車上安裝旋轉齒輪,能與軌道間所裝置的齒軌嚙合。 |
Dutch ..... Wordt gebruikt voor licht railvervoer waarbij de voertuigen naar boven klimmen langs hellingen die te steil zijn voor gewoon railvervoer, door middel van draaiende tandwielen die op de trein zijn bevestigd en die in een band tussen de rails lopen. |
Spanish ..... Úsese para transporte ligero por riel, en que los vehículos trepan terrenos muy empinados para la tracción normal de riel, por medio de un engranaje rotatorio montado en el tren, que engrana con una cremallera entre los rieles. |
