Talking about the rail network of our country, it is one of the longest railway networks in the world. Rail is one of the oldest modes of transportation in the world. This is also considered the most important and popular means of traveling in hundreds of countries. Although even today there are many countries in the world where the train does not run. Today we will tell you about such countries, where even today people do not have the luck to sit in the train.
You will find wonderful examples of technology and architecture all over the world, yet there are some countries where even today there is no better option than the road to travel anywhere.
