Articulated Passenger Trains
An articulated vehicle is a vehicle which has a permanent or semi-permanent pivot joint in its construction, allowing it to turn more sharply. There are many kinds, from heavy equipment to buses, trams and trains. Steam locomotives were sometimes articulated so driving wheels could pivot around corners. In a broader sense, any vehicle towing a trailer (including a semi-trailer) could be described as articulated (which comes from the Latin ''articulus'', "small joint"). In the UK, an ''articulated lorry'' is the combination of a tractor and a trailer, abbreviated to "artic". In the US, it is called a semi-trailer truck, tractor-trailer or semi-truck, and is not necessarily considered articulated. Types Buses Buses are articulated to allow for a much longer bus which can still navigate within the turning radius of a normal bus. Trucks In the UK, tractor unit and trailer combinations are referred to as Articulated lorries, or "artics". semi-trailertruck, also known as a s ...
