ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Multi-system (rail)

Multi-system trains are like super-powered trains that can run on different types of electricity.

Just like how different devices need different power sources to work properly, trains also need specific types of electric power to run. Some trains use a type of electricity called AC, while others need a type called DC.

Multi-system trains are designed to work with both types of electricity, which helps them to travel through different areas with various electrical systems. This means that they can travel across countries and regions with different electrical standards without needing to switch trains or power sources.

Think of it like a superhero who can adapt to different environments without losing their powers. Multi-system trains are pretty cool because they can cover more ground and take us to different places without any hassle.
