In Order to Success We Need A Lot of Sacrifice






What is Railway Engineering ?

Railway Engineering is a specialist field in Transportation and Civil Engineerings. Railways are incredibly complex and
expensive systems which are exclusively designed for the efficient passage of trains to transport people, freight and equipment.
The incredibly advanced trains which use these rail networks are expensive vehicles and so
a Railway Engineer is faced with different challenges to a Highway Engineer.

Depending on the role sought within the Railway Engineering discipline,
an Engineer could be expected to be involved in the design, construction,
maintenance and operation of trains asnd rail systems (monitoring and controlling the rail network and the trains).

   You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.
