To compare: a current passenger plane flies an average 621 mph (1.000 km/h), in the 70’s the average speed was 497 mph (800 km/h). Advances in technology, in particular, have ensured that airlines can continue to increase the average speed of their planes. “Till January 3, a total of 53 trains were operated out of which 32 trains between New Khurja - New Bhaupur (Down Direction) ran at the highest total speed of 83.70 kph. The time at a terminal is not included in the measure, so this figure shows how freight is moving between terminals. Yes, the average speed of planes is still increasing. Faster speeds would result in faster delivery of goods and faster turnaround reducing freight costs.” ¨In a game changing development, freight trains have started to attain top speeds of above 90 kmph on newly inaugurated New Khurja- New Bhaupur section of Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor.
