On which types of railway gauge do Indian trains ply? Which gauge is best among them? Why?

Answer»

There are three types of railways in India:

  1. Broad Gauge,
  2. Meter Gauge, and
  3. Narrow Gauge.

Out of the three, the Broad gauge has the highest capacity to bear load and allow running high power rail locomotives. So, although the meter gauge and narrow gauge railway tracks still exist, the government has converted most them into broad gauge. This is a big achievement for Indian Railways. Having one single gauge helps to save a lot of time for transporting goods and passenger stable this also saves quite a lot of money.
