The Wizard of Geography by AKJ Sir / NTA UGC NET / JRF/ SET / TGT/ PGT / Asst. Prof. / DSSSB / NVS / KVSIndian Railways, network is one of the longest in the world. It facilitates the movement of both freight
and passengers. and contributes to the growth of the economy. Mahatma (Gandhi said)\"the Indian |
distance of 34 km. Indian Railways is the largest government undertaking in the country. The length of
Indian Railways network was 67,956 km (Railway yearbook 2019-20). Its very large size puts a lot of
pressure on a centralised railway management system.
On the basis of the width of track of the Indian Railways, three categories have been made
Broad gauge: The distance between rails in broad gauge is 1.676 metre. The total length of broad
gauge lines was 63950 km (2019-20).
Metre gauge: The distance between rails is one metre. Its total length was 2402 km (2019-20),
Narrow gauge: The distance between the rails in this case is 0.762 metre or 0.610 metre. The total
length of narrow guage was 1604 km (2019-20). It is generally confined to hilly areasThe distribution pattern of the Railway network in the sigue as bene sel naga has been largely influenced by
physiographic, economic and administrative factors. The northern plains with their vast level land, high
growth, However, a large number of rivers requiring construction of bridges across their wide beds
posed some obstacles. In the hilly terrains of the peninsular region, railway tracts are laid through low
hills, gaps or tunnels,
high relief, sparse population and lack of economic opportunities. Likewise, it was difficult to lay
railway lines on the sandy plain of western Rajasthan, swamps of Gujarat, forested tracks of Madhya
Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Jharkhand, The contiguous’ stieich of Sahyadti Gould be crossed!
only through gaps or passes (Ghats). In recent times, the development of the Konkan railway along the
west coast has facilitated the movement of passengers and goods in this most important economic
region of India. It has also faced a number of problem such as sinking of track in some stretches and
landslides.oe
