INTRODUCTION
Rail transport is the means of conveyance of passengers and goods by way
of wheeled vehicles running on rail tracks.
Railways have had a crucial impact on the economic development inmost countries.

HISTORY The history of rail transport dates back nearly 500 years
and include systems with man or horse power and rails of
wood or stone.
Modern rail transport systems first appeared in England in
the 1820s.
During the 1940s and 1950s, the non-electrified railways
in most countries had their steam locomotives replaced by
diesel-electric locomotives.

COMPARISON WITH ROAD TRANSPORT
RAILWAY TRANSPORT ROAD TRANSPORT
Requires less land.
More energy efficient. More safe.
Less emission of c02 and
pollutants.
Capital intensive.
Requires more land.
Less energy efficient. Less safe.
More emission of co2 and
pollutants.
Requires less capital.

Fishplate between two sections
A major problem of jointed track is cracking around the boltholes, which can lead to the rail head (the running surface)breaking.
Most modern railways use continuous welded rail (CWR). Indian railways uses four gauges, the 1,676mm broad gauge
which is wider than the 1,435mm standard gauge; the 1,000mmmetre gauge; and two narrow gauges, 762 mm (2 ft 6 in) and610 mm (2 ft) .

MAGLEV TRAIN
The highest recorded speed of a Maglev train is
581 kilometres per hour (361 mph), achieved in Japan
in 2003.

Advantages of Maglev Trains
Speed: These trains can attain speeds of 250 mph easily (thespeed of a jet aircraft).
The Japanese Maglev's last record was of 581km/h.
The Shanghai MagLev Train can speed up to 431 km/h
No friction

MAGLEV TRACK
The magnetized coil running along the track, called a guideway, repels the
large magnets on the train's undercarriage, allowing the train to levitate
between 0.39 and 3.93 inches (1 to 10 cm) above the guideway.
The electric current supplied to the coils . This change in polarity causes the
magnetic field in front of the train to pull the vehicle forward, while the
magnetic field behind the train adds more forward thrust.

BULLET TRAIN
Japan was the first country to build dedicated railway lines for high
speed travel. Because of the mountainous terrain, the existing network
consisted of 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow gauge lines, which generally
took indirect routes and could not be adapted to higher speeds.

SHINKANSEN BULLET TRAIN OF
JAPAN ELECTRICITY
Shinkansen uses a 25,000 V AC overhead power supply
ECONOMYThe time savings alone from switching from a conventional to a
high-speed network have been estimated at 400 million hours, an economic
impact of 500 billion per year.
ENVIROMENTAL IMPACT
Travelling Tokyo-Osaka by Shinkansen produces only around 16%
of the carbon dioxide of the equivalent journey by car, a savings of 15,000
tons of CO2 per year.

SHINKANSEN BULLET TRAIN OF
JAPAN ELECTRICITY
Because of the risk of earthquakes, earthquake warning system was
introduced in 1992. It enables automatic braking of bullet trains in the case
of large earthquakes. The Bullet train could be thought of as the worlds first high speed train.
Services started in 1964 with speeds at 210km/h or 131mph, the fastest
trains went at the time, and many countries still have no trains running at
this speed.
It was the success of bullet train which lead to WORLD taking interest inmaking trains go fast. Since then the trains have been going faster
andfaster.

7.NEW CONCEPT DEVELOPED BY
CHINA
China non stop train

CHINAS NON STOP TRAIN
This is a brilliant Chinese concept for non-stop train.
A mere 5 min stop per station will result in a total loss of 5 min x 30
stations or 2.5 hours.
So the basic idea revolves around how a fast moving train could be run
without stopping in any of the stations and yet commute passengers fromone station to the other.

CHINAS NON STOP TRAIN While the train is still moving away from the station, those passengers will
board the train from the connector cabin mounted on the trains roof.
While the train is still moving away from the station, those passengers willboard the train from the connector cabin mounted on the trains roof.
So the train will always drop one connector cabin at the rear of its roof and
pick up a new connector cabin in the front part of the trains roof at each
station.

INDIAN RAILWAY
Indian Railways has more than 64,015 kilometres (39,777 mi) of track and
6,909 stations.
It has the world's fourth largest railway network after that of the United
States, Russia and China.
The railways traverse the length and breadth of the country and carry over
20 million passengers and 2 million tons of freight daily.
It is one of the world's largest commercial or utility employers, with morethan 1.6 million employees.

After years of being ridiculed because of its slow pace, and decades of
being compared to China, the Indian Railways has delivered a fat punch
to the critics.

The fastest train in India is theBhopal Shatabdi, a Shatabdi
Express train, with a maximum speed of 160 km/h (100 mph)
and an average speed of 93 km/h (58 mph), excluding stops. TheDuronto Express trains introduced in 2009, runs without stop
between major cities, is projected the fastest train in India, when
new services are introduced with a higher speed limit of
130 km/h.
These trains are not comparable in speed to the Shinkansen of
Japan (and running in Taiwan), TGV of France, InterCityExpress
of Germany, the ETR 500 of Italy, the KTX of South Korea,
AVE of Spain, the Wuhan-Guangzhou_High-Speed_Railwaytrains in China, or the HS 1 of the UK

Proposal to introduce 250-350 km/h
trains in India
The Indian ministry of Railways white-paper Vision 2020 submitted to
Indian parliament by Railway Minister Mamta Banerjee on December 18
2009 envisages the implementation of regional high-speed rail projects to
provide services at 250-350 km/h, and planning for corridors connecting
commercial, tourist and pilgrimage hubs.
Six corridors have already been identified for technical studies on setting
up of high-speed rail corridors: Delhi-Chandigarh-Amritsar, Pune-Mumbai-
Ahmedabad, Hyderabad-Dornakal-Vijayawada-Chennai, Howrah-Haldia,
Chennai-Bangalore-Coimbatore-Ernakulam, Delhi-Agra-Lucknow-
Varanasi-Patna.

On the Indian front, the fastest train on the Mumbai Pune route
is the Deccan Queen that takes 3 hours 15 minutes.
The fastest train on the Mumbai Ahmedabad route, the
Shatabdi Expresss, takes 6 hours 45 minutes.
With the Indian bullet train operational, you could takeyour trip from Mumbai to Pune in just 20 mins and your
travel time from Ahmedabad to Mumbai would be just 120
mins.
NORMALLY IT TAKES 15 TO 25 HOURS FROM
MUMBAI TO DELHI, IF THE BULLET TRAINS ARE
BUILT, THAT DISTANCE CAN BE COVERED IN JUST
5 HOURS.

CONCLUSION
This seminar carries detail about the latest technology inrailways.
This seminar also provide glimpse of how India will bebenefited if India modernize its railwayS.
Globalization has made world smaller and everythinghave become faster nowadays.
India is still lagging behind when it comes to modernrailway.
If India modernizes its railway lot of time can be savedand it will be very useful for the national development. Isincerely hope India does it quickly.
