Question

What is the difference between total route length and total track?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The track length of a rail network is the combined length of all tracks in the network. Thus, a double track route will have a track length twice as long as its route length.

• Suppose, the route length is 100 kms, and its the single line only, track length will be 100 kms.
• If the route length is 100 kms and its double line, the track length will be 100x2= 200 kms. Isn't it.

Answer 2

Answer:

The gauge of the railway track is a clear minimum vertical distance between the inner sides of two tracks is called railway gauge. That is, the distance between the two tracks on any railway route is known as railway gauge. Approximately sixty percent of the world's railway uses standard gauge of 1,435 mm.
