			The Howrah–Allahabad–Mumbai line is a part of the [[Golden Quadrilateral]]. The routes connecting the four major metropolises (New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata), along with their diagonals, known as the Golden Quadrilateral, carry about half the freight and nearly half the passenger traffic, although they form only 16 per cent of the length.<ref>{{cite web\| url = http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-geog.html#newzone \|title = Geography – Railway Zones \|work= Major routes\| publisher= IRFCA\| access-date = 10 July 2023}}</ref>
