The Golden Quadrilateral connects the four metropolitan cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Howrah, adding up to a total route of 10,122 km, comprising only 16 percent of the entire Indian railways network but carries 52 percent of passenger traffic and caters 58% of revenue earning freight traffic.
Termed as the largest infrastructure of the Railways in the history of independent India, the Dedicated corridor aims to segregate passenger and goods railway movement by its two development arms, Western and Eastern dedicated freight corridors.
The Western Corridor (about 1,500 km) starts from Dadri in Uttar Pradesh and goes to Jawaharlal Nehru Port in Mumbai, passing through UP, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra.
The Eastern Corridor (1,839 km) starts from Ludhiana (Punjab) which goes through the states of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand, to terminate in Dankuni (West Bengal).
