PHYSICAL ECONOMIC FACTORS INFLUENCE THE DISTRIBUTION PATTERN OF THE INDIAN RAILWAY NETWORK
PHYSICAL FACTORS :
1) Construction of bridges on many rivers across their wide beds in Northern India is a great difficulty.
2) Railway tracks are laid through low hills, gaps and tunnels in mountainous regions which will cost more.
3) It is very challenging to lay railway lines on the deserts of Rajasthan, marshy lands of Gujarat and dense forests of Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand and Orissa.
4) Gaps and passes (ghats) only are to be laid in the continuous stretch of Sahyadri, where more time is involved.
5) Railing in the west coast also faced enormous problems like sinking of track in some stretches and landslides.
ECONOMIC FACTORS :
1) Himalayan mountainous regions are not suitable for railway line construction because of low population and lesser economic opportunities.
2) Indian railways suffer heavy losses due to ticketless travelling by passengers, , etc.,
3) Thefts and damage to railway property along with unnecessary pulling of chains of moving trains cause heavy damage to Indian Railways.
