great but what abt congestion of the route? Ahmedabad-Mumbai is one of the most congested routes of IR. EMU, local passenger trains, freights all run on same track. They really need to add another up and down lines for superfast express trains.

The railways have surely done some research on the congestion problem. The DFCC is moving at brisk space and many bridges have been contructed . Once the freight traffic is moved to this line , the existing one will be more free for high speed. Hope the DFCC project gets over by 2017. In fact this whole route will be a high speed zone . Even freight trains will run at 100kmph and will be python freight trains , the ones currently running in US or other countries.

Rarely a freight in world is allowed to go above 110 km/h, specially a fully loaded freight, unless being hauled by a powerful loco in the lead.
DFC's are fast movement, so that the regular trunk lines are cleared for the pass service.
