🚃Railway Car Emoji
🚃 railway car — U+1F683, added in Unicode 6.0 (2010). Unicode groups it with the other 50 ground transportation emojis under Travel & Places.
What 🚃 railway car means
The largest travel family, and lopsided: more than a dozen separate rail characters survive from the Japanese carrier sets, including 🚝 monorail, 🚞 mountain railway and 🚋 tram car, which almost nobody sends. Daily use concentrates on 🚗 and 🚕 for getting somewhere, 🚨 for urgency or an announcement, and 🚧 for anything unfinished. 🦽 and 🦼 came later, in Emoji 12.0's accessibility batch.
Unicode tags this one car, electric and railway and files it under Travel & Places → Ground Transportation.
