These gradients are largely found in the Deccan plateau where the terrain is extremely rough and uneven. The South Western Railway Zone of Indian Railways stands top when it comes to these Monster Gradients how ever the average speed of Trains in the Zone takes a major hit due to the unavailability of flat straight lines. The Bangalore - Hubli line is full of these enormous Monster gradients .
