Tramway track

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen a tram, a kind of train that runs on tracks on the road like a big car? The track it runs on is called a tramway track.

When we build roads or pathways for cars, we make them smooth and flat. But tramways are different because the tracks have to be designed especially for the trams. The track is made up of two rails, one on each side of the road, and the tram's wheels sit on top of them. The track is usually made of steel so that it's strong and durable.

The tracks have to be mounted on a solid base, usually made of concrete or asphalt, so the tracks don't move when the tram goes over them. The tracks are also built to support the weight of the tram, so they are thick and heavy.

One more thing that's important about tramway tracks is that they have to be level. If the track is sloping or has bumps and dips, it's hard for the tram to move smoothly, and things might fall off or break. So the track needs to be carefully designed and maintained to keep it flat and stable for the trams to run on.

So, that's what a tramway track is, and how it works to help trams move smoothly and safely along the road.
