Usage notes

火車／火车 refers to the train itself and to the mode of transportation. So it is used in terms related to the railway. 列車／列车 (lièchē) is sometimes used instead to follow technology development as trains are not steam powered anymore. But it only refers to the train itself and can't replace 火車／火车 in the previous term.

氣墊火車／气垫火车
