traffic survey team should make an assessment of the traffic likely to be carried by to the new line. While carrying out the survey, details of traffic likely to be offered by various government organizations, public bodies, or private enterprises should be gathered.

(a) History of the proposal and terms of reference
(b) General description
(c) Potentials and prospects
(d) Industrial and economic development and traffic projections
(e) Population projection and volume of passenger traffic
(f) Existing rates and rates to be charged
(g) Location of route or routes examined, alternate routes, and possible extensions
(h) Station sites and their importance
(i) Train services, section capacity, and various alternative ways of increasing capacity
(j) Coaching earnings
(k) Goods earnings
(l) Working expenses and net receipts
(m) Engineering features
(n) Telecommunication facilities
