FIL: Isang daanan na binubuo ng dalawang magkahilerang riles na bakal kung saan dumadaan ang tren.
EN: railway; railroad
The OG land transportation system before Grab, Angkas, MRT, and LRT traffic. This is what your lolo and lola rode to go to the province. Today, you mostly hear about it in history books or when the PNR (Philippine National Railways) is in the news. It's the iron path that connects towns, one 'choo-choo' at a time.
From Spanish 'ferrocarril' (railroad).
A more formal or historical term. 'Riles' is the more common, everyday word for railway track. 'Tren' is for the train itself.
