Green train corridor describes a concept where train coach toilet waste is no longer disposed directly on tracks. The trains instead feature built-in technology so that toilet waste is stored in a tank under every coach toilet, and is discharged into large drainage canals built along the line beside the tracks in main halting junctions.
