Favourable conditions for the growth of railways in the Northern Plains are:Vast level of plain land making rail lines convenient to set up.High population density which makes railways a common and convenient means of transportRich agricultural resource which makes railways necessary to transport goods

Unfavourable conditions for the growth of railways in the Himalayas areHigh relief and rugged terrain making rail lines difficult to set up.Sparse population making railways less popular than plains.Lack of economic opportunities like industries or factories which reduces the demand for railways for carrying goods.
