Note
A regular -s plural that carries every sense of car, not only the automobile. In US and Canadian usage a train is made of cars, the unpowered units that hold passengers or cargo, so cars coupled behind a locomotive are as natural as cars on a highway. Older senses come along too: chariots and horse-drawn carts were once cars, a use now archaic. Context usually tells you which is meant.
