ADVANTAGES
It facilitate long distance travel and transport of bulky goods which are not easily transported through motor vehicles. It is a quick and more regular form of transport because it helps in the

transportation of goods with speed and certainty.

It helps in the industrialization process of a country by easy transportation of coal and raw-materials at a cheaper rate.

It helps in the quick movement of goods from one place to another at the time of
emergencies like famines and scarcity. It encourages mobility of labour and provides a great scope for employment. Railway is the safest form of transport. The carrying capacity of the railways is extremely large. Its good for poor people
17

DISADVANTAGES
The railway requires a large investment of capital. The cost of construction,
maintenance and overhead expenses are very high as compared to other modes of transport. It routes and timings cannot be adjusted to individual requirements. Rail transport cannot provide door to door service as it is tied to a particular track. Railway transport is unsuitable and uneconomical for short distances and small traffic of goods. It involves much time and labour in booking and taking delivery of goods through railways as compared to motor transport. Because of huge capital requirements and traffic, railways cannot be operated economically in rural areas.
