The coastal railway of Karnataka is called ______.
A. Konkan Railway
B. Malabar Railway
C. Canara Railway
D. Eastern Railway

Answer 1

Hint:The Indian Railway is the third-largest railway network in the world by size and has a route length of 68,155 km. The first train started running in 1845. It produces a lot of employment in the country and is the eighth largest employer in the world.

Complete answer:
- Option A: Konkan Railway runs along the Konkan Coast of India which is the coastline along the Western Coastline of India and runs along with the states of Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Goa. The length of the Konkan Railway is 741 km and is the missing link between Mumbai, Maharashtra and Mangalore, Karnataka, and the southwestern coastal cities of India. Hence, this is the correct option.
- Option B: Malabar Railway is a 634 km line that runs on the Malabar Coast. The start point is Mangalore Central and stops at 52 stations ending at Thiruvananthapuram Central. Hence, this is an incorrect option.
- Option C: Canara Railway is not the railway line that runs along the Konkan Coast. Hence, this is an incorrect option.
- Option D: Eastern Railway is a 2818 km long line and comprises four divisions Howrah, Malda, Sealdah, and Asansol. Its headquarters is in Kolkata. Hence, this is an incorrect option.

So, the correct answer is option A.

Note:Karnataka is a state in the southwestern region of India and is the largest state in South India and the sixth-largest state in the country. Bengaluru formerly known as Bangalore is the capital and the largest city in the state.
