3. RAILWAY SURVEYS
Reasonsforlayinganewrailwayline
Strategic consideration:
Sometimes it becomes essential to join two points by
a railway line for strategic purposes so that in case of
emergency, the army can be transferred from one
point to the other.
Linking of trade centres:
Two trade centres may not be linked up by a railway
line. In such cases, a new railway line is proposed
between two such trade centres.

4. RAILWAY SURVEYS
Connecting port with the interior of the
country:
A port is sometimes not connected with
the interior of the country. In such cases,
it becomes essential to have a new
railway line joining the port and the trade
centres of the interior of the country.
4
5. RAILWAY SURVEYS
Shortening existing route:
A route exists between two points. But if it
is possible to shorten the existing route, a
new railway line is to be laid.
5
6. RAILWAY SURVEYS
Laying of a branch line:
It becomes necessary sometimes to lay a branch
line to an existing main line to develop certain
other cities on the proposed branch line. The new
branch line will serve as feeder line for the existing
main railway line.
Undeveloped area:
A new railway line is laid to develop an area
which may be rich in mineral resources or other
natural wealth like timber resources. 6
8. Factors influencing the proposed
route:
Cost:
Should be minimum
Is composed of:
{capital cost of the project + maintenance cost
+ renewal expenditure + working expenses}
The route should be so selected as to bring the
sum of all these costs to a minimum.
8
9. Factors influencing the proposed
route:
II. Safety:
The available passenger and goods traffic
should be transported safely,
Route should be so laid as to have
minimum chances of train accidents
III. Speed:
Route should be so selected as to have
reasonable speed of trains.

RECT/PECT surveys should also be kept in view during
FLS.
• Alignment finally selected during a survey should be fully
staked on the ground with a theodolite and/or Electronic
Distance Measuring Instruments, the report should be
fuller and detailed plans and sections should be submitted.
64. 65
• Follow -Terms of Reference strictly.
• Select - Most economical alignment proposed in RECT/
PECT survey reports.
