Hey...!!!

Railway is virtually called the 'lifeline of a country'. It is used for the movement of bulky goods and large number of passengers for longer distances. It brings people closer from the farthest corner of the country. As the long distance are difficult to travel by road, Railways provide the most comfortable and less expensive means of transport. Earlier, trains were run with coal engines but now they are run by diesel and electrical engines. The electrification of railways has resulted in reduced pollution and has helped in carrying larger number of passengers from one place to another. With the advancement of technology fast moving trains, e.g Rajdhani, Shatabdi, etc., have been introduced. Also, for the local movement of people over Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Jaipur and Chennai are very popular.

Hope it helps...!!!
