Notes
General Note
SAMPLE TEXT : Trains have special wheels that roll on tracks. Most train tracks are made of steel rails and wood ties. The rails are nailed to the ties. About 150 years ago, Chinese and Irish people helped build the train tracks. They became new Americans. Bullet trains are electric. They have pantographs on top of some of the cars. Wires overhead pass electricity to the pantographs (Pantograph: metal arms on a train's roof that catch electricity from wires above). Electricity comes from coal, the same coal that powers steam engines.
