Here the words describe an electric train rather than the stations along its route. Sixteen terms take you from running gear beneath the body to equipment above the roof, connecting less familiar component names with their selected positions.
Which names and sets will you practise?
Bogie frame, Wheelset and Axlebox lead to Primary suspension and Air spring. Traction motor, Traction gearbox, Brake disc and Brake caliper distinguish drive and braking parts. Pantograph, Automatic coupler, Carbody, Passenger door, Air compressor and Traction inverter broaden the list. The fixed sequence is a vocabulary route, not an assembly order for one vehicle model.
The collection contains 16 names in 1 set. The examples below are actual entries from each set rather than the complete lists. Open a set link to inspect its full sequence and choose a manageable amount of vocabulary for your first session.
Read the differences before typing
Primary suspension sits between the axlebox and bogie, whereas the air spring represents secondary suspension. A wheelset includes wheels and axle rather than one wheel alone. Brake disc is separate from Brake caliper; Traction motor is separate from its gearbox. Read modifiers such as primary and traction rather than replacing the label with a general system name.
Read Wheelset beside Axlebox before comparing Brake disc with Brake caliper. Another useful pair is Traction motor and Traction gearbox: related equipment still needs its own complete label in each prompt.
From the first input to a completed round
The current name stays visible beside the picture, so you can read rather than identify an unlabelled object. Look at the complete spelling of Bogie frame and check your keyboard before typing. The first input starts the timer; a matching display name or registered alternative advances automatically without Enter.
Edit unfinished text directly in the field. Pressing Enter with an incorrect nonempty answer adds one error and clears that attempt. The result does not count every deleted or replaced letter as a separate error. When a new name appears, read its picture and words instead of repeating the previous answer.
Displayed names and registered alternatives
The complete name displayed in the current language is the most reliable answer. After each arrow below is an example actually accepted for that particular entry. Alternatives vary by name and language: a shortened form working for one prompt does not create a shortening rule for the rest of the set.
Matching normalizes case, spaces and supported punctuation. Latin accents may be omitted, and German ß can be entered as ss. Meaningful words and numbers still need to match. To practise another language, change the page language first and use that page's labels or registered answers instead of assuming an arbitrary translation will work.
- Traction gearbox → Railway gearbox
- Bogie frame → Bogie frame
- Wheelset → Wheelset
Choose a small goal for your second round
Your next goal can be more specific than speed. Choose a name that made you pause, such as Brake disc, read it in full, and retry the same set in the same language. Note whether you used full names or alternatives and whether you changed devices so that the comparison has useful context.
After a completed round, review time, keystrokes per minute, errors and the best record. Best times are stored in this browser separately by topic, set and language. Results are not combined across devices through an account; keep your own dated note of words you reread if you want a longer study record.
Understand what the illustrations cover
The single-arm pantograph, central passenger coupler and inverter cutaway are representative examples. The entire list does not describe mutually compatible parts from one train. Illustrations establish no dimensions, electrical connections, servicing sequence or operational condition. Use the gray placement context to read names, and keep this structural vocabulary distinct from subway routes and operating data.
Use these boundaries to treat the illustrations as aids for reading terminology. A correctly typed name records a vocabulary task, not practical competence in identifying or handling the real subject. When you return to a book or class, check that source's definitions and scope to connect the words with their original context.
Continue with another topic or language
The two topics below offer related vocabulary for another reading session. Keep the familiar input routine while changing the subject. Lists differ in length and word size, so compare completion times between attempts with the same conditions rather than across unrelated games.
This guide and its game are available in Korean, English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish and German. Change the language menu to read the instructions and names in that language. The game links below retain your current language choice.
