Airport Baggage Trains
The steering mechanism on longer trackless trains operates in a similar manner to airport baggage carts, although the tractor units are commonly designed to be frequently detached from the baggage carts to be used for other purposes. Carts are also detachable to be left in loading areas. Airport baggage trains are often also much longer than the passenger type. (See Ground support equipment).

Famous quotes containing the words airport, baggage and/or trains:
“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
“I cannot call Riches better than the baggage of virtue. The Roman word is better, impedimenta. For as the baggage is to an army, so is riches to virtue. It cannot be spared nor left behind, but it hindereth the march; yea and the care of it sometimes loseth or disturbeth the victory.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“Ever notice how these European trains always smell of eau de cologne and hard boiled eggs?”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
