What is Small-world properties of the Indian Railway network about?

Structural properties of the Indian Railway network is studied in the light of recent investigations of the scaling properties of different complex networks. Stations are considered as `nodes' and an arbitrary pair of stations is said to be connected by a `link' when at least one train stops at both stations.
