This document provides an overview of the GCC Railway project which plans to link the six Gulf Cooperation Council nations of Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia through a 2,177km regional railway network. The presentation outlines the planning, development, construction progress to date, and future development plans for the project which aims to be fully operational by 2018. Technical challenges include building the network through desert environments and mountainous regions while connecting various countries' internal rail projects.

Inland Water Transportation is an inter-modal transportation for moving goods and passengers.
There are 14,500 km of navigable waterways in India. Out of these, about 5,700 km is navigable by mechanized vessels.
Share of IWT in transportation in India is far lower as compared with many other countries which have exploited the benefits of IWT.
The IWT modal share in Netherlands is 42%, France 15%, Hungary 15%, Germany 14%, Belgium 13% and in US 15%.
Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) is the statutory authority in charge of the waterways in India. Its headquarters is located in Noida, UP. It does the function of building the necessary infrastructure in these waterways, surveying the economic feasibility of new projects and also administration.
National Waterways come under purview of Central Government and Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI), whereas other waterways are under the control of the state governments.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1Dts33EMMA
This Presentation/Pdf/video is about the Alignment of railway lines which is a part of railway engineering. Here we are going to discuss about the alignment of the railway track, criteria for it.
Alignment of railway line refers to the direction and position given to the centerline of the railway track on the ground in the horizontal and vertical planes. Horizontal alignment means the direction of the railway track in the plan including the straight path and the curves it follows. Vertical alignment means the direction it follows in a vertical plane including the level track, gradients, and vertical curves. The various factors affecting alignment, and types of track alignments and their suitability in different terrains are discussed in this video.
Different topics discussed are: -
Types of Railway Projects
Proper planning and Alignment of the railway line
Alignment of Railway Line
Horizontal alignment & Vertical alignment
Importance of Good alignment
Railway Line Constructions
The various factors affecting alignment, and types of track alignments
Basic Requirements of an Ideal Alignment
Selection of a Good Alignment
Economic Considerations of railway alignment
This video will be very helpful for all students of civil engineering who are going to study railway engineering, students who are looking to make a career in civil engineering, and for general knowledge about railway also, and also for civil engineering students preparing for govt exams.

Government of India plans to develop Multi-modal High Axle Load Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) between Delhi and Mumbai, covering an overall length of 1483km, with end terminals at Tughlakabad and Dadri in the National Capital Region of Delhi and Jawaharlal Nehru Port at Mumbai.
Government of India has further proposed establishing, promoting and facilitating “Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) along the alignment of DFC between Delhi and Mumbai. The objective of DMIC, supported by world-class infrastructure, would be to optimize on the present potential, enhance investment climate and promote the economic development of the region through creation of a long term enabling environment.
An MOU relating to the DMIC has been signed between the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of Japan and the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) of India to explore the opportunities for mutual cooperation. MoCI has further initiated the process by appointing M/s IL&FS Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (IIDC), New Delhi as Consultant for preparation of conceptual framework for DMIC.

emissions compared with road
transportation
Statistically, rail transportation is significantly
safer

BAHRAIN + KUWAIT
Planning
Bahrain
• Still in design phase
• Expected to end by late 2019

Project Phases
31. Progress to Date
Target operational date still set for 2018
Detailed engineering design work is nearing
completion this year (2015)
Approximately 400 kilometers of track is
already under construction/ constructed
32. Technical Challenges
Desert environment and sand movement in which the
network is being built.
The section between Al Ain in the UAE and Sohar in
Oman passes through the Al Hajar Mountains, which rise
to 10,000 ft.
Only Saudi Arabia, has any experience of constructing
and operating heavy railways and that experience is
fairly limited.
Everybody will be competing for the same resources.
Skills shortage.
Scope creep.
