Answer:
Examples
of the distribution pattern of the railway network in the country being
influenced by physiographic, economic and administrative factors are
(i) The Northern plains with their vast level land, high population
density and rich agricultural resources provided the most favourable condition for
growth of railways, although crossing wide rivers posed some obstacles.
(ii) In the hilly terrain of the Peninsular region,
railway tracks were laid through low hills, gaps or tunnels.
(iii) The Himalayan mountain regions are unfavourable
for the construction of railway lines due to high relief, undulating terrain
and low traffic.
(iv) It is difficult to lay railway tracks in the sandy plains
of Western Rajasthan, swamps of Gujarat and forested areas of states in central
India.
