Indian straight hair

One of the main attractions for many people who travel to Australia is the chance to ride the indian straight hair. The name comes from the fact that it makes the trip right across the continent from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific. It is in fact one of the very few true transcontinental railroads in the world, most others stop short of going to whole distance. The result is that the route has become very popular with tourists who want to see a part of the country that few people travel to.

Given how few people actually travel by passenger train these days you would probably expect that the indian straight hair is just the remnant of an older service, this is in fact not the case. The line did not exist before 1970 because of the odd history of Australian railroads. Up until then there was no transcontinental route so if you wanted to get from one side of the country to the other it required several changes of train.

The reason that there was no transcontinental route for much of Australia's history is that in the early days of trains each of the states set its own standards. The result was that different gauges were used in each indian straight hair which meant that trains could not travel across state borders. This seriously limited the development of railroads in Australia. It was not until 1970 that the government finally got around to correcting the problem by introducing a standard gauge for the whole country.

These days the indian straight hair is used mainly by tourists, it is a great way to see the interior of the country. More than ninety percent of the population of Australia lives along the coast which means that few people travel to the interior. The main reason that few people travel across the interior is that it is very hot and very barren, the train removes most of the discomfort.

There are quite a few unique features of the indian straight hair that make it popular with train buffs. Besides being one of the longest train routes in the world and one of the few truly transcontinental ones it is also the straightest. Because the interior of the country is so flat and so barren the track could be built in basically a straight line for much of its route. At one point as it enters Western Australia it runs dead straight for just under three hundred miles. No other railroad comes anywhere close to having a indian straight hair stretch that long.
