New piggyback-tech may revolutionize rail travel
By applying knowledge of mid-flight refueling in airplanes to trains, two entrepreneurs have found a way to double the number of trains running on a network, and make them faster.

Trains’ long lifetimes leave them vulnerable to sophisticated attacks that endanger passengers, but tech can prevent this from happening.
As rail travel gets more efficient through automated, wireless and connected technologies, cybersecurity on the tracks becomes a looming danger.
Israel’s Rail Safe automated early-warning system uses infrared imaging to alert train engineers to obstacles while they still have time to stop.
