The railway network expanded rapidly in India in 1860. By 1890, around 25,500 kilometers of track had been built; by 1946, the total length of track had risen to almost 765,000 kilometers. The railway extension was implemented as a result of India's growing population. As the number of railway tracks grew, a great number of trees were also cut.
