In India both freight and train services are government owned and are part of same network. Revenue from freight subsidises passenger services which run in losses [1]. But in general passenger service is given preference over freight every day. Hence there are some serious delays in freight service. So government is building these special double electric lines across country especially designed for freight called as dedicated freight corridors [2].
