FollowMillions of people travel by Indian Railways every day. But do you know why trains run faster at night than during the day? Why is the speed of the train higher at night than during the day? Let's find out in detail.
)
The first reason for this is that there is less movement of humans and animals on the railway tracks at night than during the day.
No maintenance work is carried out on the railway tracks. Due to this, trains run at higher speeds at night.
At night, the loco pilot driving the train can see the signal from a distance. Due to this, there is no need to reduce the speed in most cases. This allows the train to run continuously at a faster pace.
