Hello Civilian..., How are You.., Hope you all emjoying our blog. Today i am going to talk abount recent development of Indian railways. so without wasting time .., lets go on topic !!

To further improve upon its services, the Indian Railways have commenced upon various schemes, which are massively motivated. 

  • The Indian railway has changed from meter gauge to broad gauge. Now, there are the impressive looking locomotives that haul the 21st century harbingers - The Rajdhani and Shatabdi at speeds of 145 kmph with all amenities and comfort. 

  • The Research, Designing, and Standardising Organization at Lucknow, the largest railway research organisation in the world, was constituted in 1957. It is constantly devising improvements in the signalling systems, track design and layout, coach interiors for better riding comfort and capacity, etc. along with improvements in locomotives. 
  • The workshops of the railways too have been given new equipment to create sophisticated coaches at Perambur and Kapurthala and diesel engine parts at Patiala. Locomotives are being made at Chittaranjan and Varanasi.

  • More trains and routes are constantly being added to the railway network and services. The network of lines has grown to about 62,000 km, the variety of Indian Railways is diverse. It still has the idealistic toy trains on narrow gauge hill sections, meter gauge beauties on other and broad gauge bonanzas as one visits places of tourist interest. They are an acknowledgement of the Railways that tourism as an industry has to be promoted and that India is full of unique beauty.
