Railcoin network is like a rail network with parcels of data moving between stations. These could be transactions of coins or just syncing between nodes so that each miner is synced with the rest and holds a perfect copy of the blockchain. The transaction is a bit like a train that stops to let people on and off randomly except that with Railcoin if you send 100 coins to a destination they will not have been swapped with others so you have traceability to help ensure compliance with anti money laundering legislation..
