Railways are used to carry heavy goods and people

over long distances quickly and cheaply.

Steam engines have been largely replaced by

electric and diesel engines. Super fast trains have

been introduced to make journeys faster.

The network of railways is well developed over the

plains. Advanced technology has helped in laying

railway lines in difficult mountain terrains also.

Indian railway network is well developed and the

largest in Asia.
