Description

Description

The Second Railway Project is principally directed to increasing the capacity of the railways to handle additional traffic. Its most important elements are the acquisition of new rolling stock, the doubling of main-line tracks, improvement in yards, and new signalling. A beginning is made on dieselization of some main-line services, and a further important development in motive power is electrification of certain very high density passenger and freight traffic areas.
