Konkan Railway line was made possible because of George Fernandes then Railway minister of India , Madhu Dandavate then Finance minister of India and Ramakrishna Hegde former chief minister of Karnataka state by forming Konkan Railway Corporation Limited in 1990 to finance the project as Indian Railways did not have funds to execute Konkan Railway line from Roha in Maharashtra state to Thokur in Karnataka state. Else this dream of people of west coast would not have fulfilled. Whole railway line was completed in 1998 and first train ran complete length on 26 January 1998.

[@jayamohanan6226]

For the last 20 years, I used to travel on this route ( from Delhi - Kerala), and is mesmerised by the beauty of Nature and the sight of Dooth sugar Waterfall. Always wondered how they built those 92 tunnels and so many bridges, where there was no roads to reach the construction site. The only minus point on this route is the frequent stopage of trains at local stations to allow other trains to pass ( as it is a single line track ). I used to travel by Rajdhani, Duranto, Samparkkranti trains, but between Panvel and Mangalore, these trains stops at least 15-20 stations ( unscheduled stations) to allow other trains to pass. Doubling the track is the only solution to over come this problem. But, doubling the track is impossible as how to build 92 more tunnels ( or widening those in use ), constructing 2000+ bridges etc. Anyway, I loved this route and avoided travelling in Kerala Express through MP, Maharashtra, Telungana and Tamil Nadu.

Netravati Express runs with modern LHB coaches. But both Matsyagandha and Mangalore Jn expresses have ICF coaches..that too very old. Netravati Express was rerouted thru' KR almost at the same time as Matsyagandha Express. This shows the apathy towards Kannadigas.

[@Wandering_Railspotter]

​@@zdsouza6638it depends on railway board of southern railway and cr headquarters located at chennai . Icf chennai has started alloting Lhb coaches to TVC divn for Matsyagandha and maq TVC recently and still it has not been lhbfied yet . Our maq TVC express has more occupancy than matsya but still it runs with rusty old ugly yellow painted icf coaches and TVC divn is now focusing on their js , intercity trains to Lhb fiey since many trains are left for Lhb fication in Kerala unlike your swr divn which Lhbfies it's trains within a period of 5 months

[@muthuswamynarayanswamy1260]

Kudos to Mr. Sreedharan. After finishing Metro in Delhi he was asked to construct Metro in Mumbai. He flatly refused since he knew Metro is useless in Mumbai. Many of the Experts in Mumbai requested the Government not to construct Metro but imprive transport system like train/bus. When constructing Metro in Delhimany potlicians wanted thei contracts to be on the iist. Mr. Sreedharan complained to Ms. Sheila Dixt then PM of Delhi. He instructed all her monisters not to interfere Mr. sreedharan work. Mr.Sreedhasran then undertook Konkan. The Cimpanies he choose Gammon and Afcons are the best. With their help he was able to construct Konkan railway without any hindrance.
