Železnica je naziv za saobraćajni sistem gde se vozila kreću po stalno postavljenoj metalnoj podlozi - čeličnim šinama. Dve šine zajedno čine kolosek. Za razliku od drumskog prevoza, gde se vozila kreću po pripremljenoj ravnoj površini, šinska vozila su vođena kolosecima kojima se kreću. Šine se obično sastoje od čeličnih šina, ugrađenih na pragove postavljene u tucanik, na kojima se kreće vozni park, obično opremljen metalnim točkovima.

Istorija

Glavni članak: Istorija železničkog saobraćaja

Istorija železničkog saobraćaja počela je u praistorijskim vremenima.

Drevni sistemi

Dokazi ukazuju na to da je Diolkos popločana staza bila duga 6 do 8,5 km, koja je prevozila čamce preko Korintske prevlake u Grčkoj od oko 600. godine p. n. e. Vozila koja su vukli ljudi i životinje kretala su se u žljebovima u krečnjaku, koji je obezbedio element koloseka, sprečavajući vagone da napuste predviđenu trasu. Diolkos je bio u upotrebi preko 650 godina, najmanje do 1. veka nove ere. Popločane staze su takođe kasnije izgrađene u rimskom Egiptu.

Vozna sredstva u sistemu železničkog transporta uglavnom nailaze na manji otpor trenja u odnosu na drumska vozila sa gumenim točkovima, te se putnički i teretni vagoni mogu spajati u duže vozove. Pogon za kretanje obezbeđuju lokomotive, koje ili crpe električnu energiju iz sistema za elektrifikaciju železnice ili proizvode sopstvenu snagu, obično dizel motorima ili, istorijski gledano, parnim mašinama. Većinu koloseka prati sistem signalizacije.

Železnički saobraćaj

Železnički saobraćaj je vrsta transporta gde se prevoz robe ili putnika vrši vagonima koji se kreću po pruzi uz lokomotivsku vuču. Prevoz na javnim prugama organizuje železničko preduzeće, koje obezbeđuje prevoz između železničkih stanica ili korisnika iz privrede. Železnice su siguran sistem kopnenog prevoza u poređenju sa drugim oblicima prevoza. Železnički prevoz je sposoban za ostvarivanje visokog nivoa putničkog i teretnog iskorišćenja i energetske efikasnosti, ali je često manje fleksibilan i kapitalno intenzivniji od drumskog prevoza, kada se razmatraju niži nivoi saobraćaja.

Osnovne karakteristike železničkog saobraćaja

Osnovne karakteristike železničkog saobraćaja su:

Pozitivne

• visoka propusna i prevozna sposobnost
• prevoz nezavisno od klimatskih uslova
• neposredna veza magistralnih i pratećih koloseka
• masovnost prevoza

Negativne

• ograničen manevar
• velika početna ulaganja

Razvoj železnica

Rudarska kolica iz 16. veka

Prvi vagončići na prugama upotrebljavali su se još u 16. veku u Nemačkoj i Engleskoj za prevoz iskopane rude. Vagončiće su vukli konji. U gradovima konji su vukli vagone železnicom i tako prevozili nižu klasu.

Engleski inženjer Džordž Stivenson izumeo je prvu parnu lokomotivu. Mogla je brzinom pešaka vući nekoliko rudničkih vagona. Gradnjom udobnijih vagona, počeo je teretni i putnički razvoj železnica.

Prva javna železnička veza uspostavljena je 1825. između engleskih gradova Stoktona i Darlingtona.

Posle spore parne železnice nastale su dizelske, pa moderne električne železnice.

Železnica se sastoji od infrastrukture (šine), lokomotive, vagoni (putnički i ili teretni) i drugih pomoćnih objekata.
