2. Meter Gauge
• There's not many opertional metre gauge lines, most are in
various states of gauge conversion.
Still operating are: -
Udaipur-Ahmedabad
Pathankot-Jogindernagar (actually, I think this is narow gauge)
Jaipur-Bikaner (via Ringas)
Marwar-Mavli
Mathura-Kasganj-Lalkual/Bareilly-Pilibhit-Gonda
Murkong Selek-Rangiya
Lumding-Silchar/Agartala
Nagpur-Chindwara-Balaghat-Jabalpur

4. Broad Gauge
• These triple gauges exhibit the
hierarchical impor-tance of the rail
routes. The double track broad gauge
today linking the metropolitan cities and
major ports comes on the top followed by
single track broad gauge branch line on
peripheral trunk routes, meter gauge
double track lines, meter gauge single
track routes and narrow gauge rail lines.

6. Narrow Gauge
• Narrow gauge rail lines were laid down
in the hilly, barren and thinly
populated areas of less eco-nomic
importance. Pathankot-Manali-Kalka-
Shimla, Siliguri-
Darjeeling.Mettupalayam-
Ootacamund includes some important
rail links under the system.

8. Difference between Meter
Gauge and Broad Gauge
Meter Gauge Broad Gauge
• Meter gauge refers • Broad gauge
to railways with a railways use a rail
track gauge (distance
gauge(distance
between the rails)
between the rails) of
1,000 mm of 1,435 mm.

9. Difference between Metre
Gauge, Broad Gauge and Narrow
Gauge
• Broad gauge is 1.44 metres in
width.
• Metre gauge is1 metre with, the
name itself denotes.
• Narrow gauge is used in moutain or
hill trains which is less than a metre
and it's width is0.79 metres.
