Difference between Rail transport and Shay locomotive

Rail transport vs. Shay locomotive

Rail transport is a means of transferring of passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, also known as tracks. The Shay locomotive was the most widely used geared steam locomotive.

Similarities between Rail transport and Shay locomotive

Rail transport and Shay locomotive have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Bogie, Fire-tube boiler, Railroad tie, Track (rail transport), Tractive force, Tramway (industrial).

Bogie

A bogie (in some senses called a truck in North American English) is a chassis or framework carrying wheelsets, attached to a vehicle, thus serving as a modular subassembly of wheels and axles.
