Why are train roofs curved ??

 Here are the reasons  -----


1.   To deflect rainwater and snow

                     If train roofs are flat, every downpour turn the top of the train into a mini swimming pool  !!!

2.   To reduce air resistance 

                  A curved roof helps the air flow    smoothly over the train body,  reducing drag and increasing fuel efficiency.



3.  To strengthen the structure 

                    Curves are stronger than flat surfaces.  Can withstand strong winds.



4.  To create more headroom inside

                        The arched roof provides extra headroom without increasing width of train or compromising stability.



5.  To keep the temperature balanced 

                         Curved sufaces make environment less stuffy during long journeys.
