Transport

Railways are the 'lifeline' of our country.They connect almost all towns and cities in India.Railways carry 500 crore people and over 45 crore tonnes of goods every year,from one part of the country to another.

The total length of railways in India is about 65,000kilometres.Our railway network is the second largest in Asia and the fourth largest in the world.

At the time of Independence,trains were run by steam engines.These have now been replaced by diesel and electric engines.This has increased the speed of trains.Trains such as the Rajdhani Express and the Shatabdi Express run at a speed of over 140 Kilometres per over.

Metro trains run in kolkata and Delhi.They run either no elevated tracks or under the ground.Soon,Mumbai and Banglore would also have a metro train network.
