Inter-city rail services are
train services which cover larger distances than
commuter trains. In the U.S.A. they are operated by
Amtrak; the network is not as dense as in Europe.
In Europe railways have many more stations than the Inter-city trains halt at; the smaller stations are served by local trains. An exception form high speed railways, which have only few stations.
