Describe the physical and economic factors that influenced the distribution patterns of the Indian Railways network.

  • The distribution pattern of the Railway network in the country has been largely influenced by physiographic, economic and administrative factors.
  • The northern plains with their vast level land, high population density and rich agricultural resources provided the most favourable condition for their growth.
  • In the hilly terrains of the peninsular region, railway tracts are laid through low hills, gaps or tunnels.
  • The Himalayan mountainous regions too are unfavourable for the construction of railway lines due to high relief, sparse population and lack of economic opportunities. Likewise, it was difficult to lay railway lines on the sandy plain of western Rajasthan, swamps of Gujarat, forested tracks of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Jharkhand.
  • The contiguous stretch of Sahyadri could be crossed only through gaps or passes (Ghats).
  • In recent times, the development of the Konkan railway along the west coast has facilitated the movement of passengers and goods in this most important economic region of India. It has also faced a number of problem such as sinking of track in some stretches and landslides.
