Articulated Train

A train design in which adjacent carriages share a common bogie at their junction rather than each having bogies at both ends. Articulation reduces the total number of bogies, lowers the train's centre of gravity, and improves curving behaviour. The TGV and Talgo are prominent examples of articulated high-speed train designs.
