| Commuter Rail Transit | |
|
Commuter rail transit uses traditional freight railroad technology, including diesel or electric locomotives, to operate trains for passenger service. Commuter rail systems generally operate only during peak hours, transporting workers between downtown areas of major cities and nearby suburbs. The rail lines used by a commuter rail system may have been abandoned for freight service or may be operated for freight use during noncommute times. |
