A computer outage refers to a period when a computer system is unavailable or not functioning properly, often due to technical failures, which can disrupt services and operations.
A high-speed train is a type of passenger train that operates significantly faster than traditional trains, typically exceeding speeds of 155 mph (250 km/h) on dedicated tracks.
Railway infrastructure includes the physical components necessary for train operations, such as tracks, signals, bridges, and stations, which facilitate the movement of trains and passengers.
