Answer:
Rail transport is ideal for carrying a large number of passengers and large number of items to long distances. India has a well developed rail network.
The Indian Railways have a network of 7, 133 stations spread over a route length of 64, 460 km. The Indian Railways use three types of gauge, details of which are given in the following table.
Development of Railways:
.The Indian Railways is the largest public sector undertaking in the country, in terms of number of employees. The first train ran from Mumbai to Thane in 1853, covering a distance of 34 km.
.The Indian Railway is now reorganised into 16 zones.
.Geographic, economic and administrative factors have influenced the development of railways in India.
.The rail network is highly dense in the northern plains. This could be possible because of even topography, high population density and rich agricultural resources present in this region. The development of rail has been to a lesser degree in other parts of the country because of presence of plateau, desert and mountains. Development of Konkan Railway along the west coast has immensely helped in economic development in this region.
