Indian Railways increases line capacity on Mumbai-Delhi route; operation time to reduce
Indian Railways in an effort to reduce the travel time on the busy Mumbai-Delhi route has recently undertaken the remodelling work of Vadodara Yard.
The Western Zone of Indian Railways has also commissioned Centralised Electronic Interlocking which will help in reducing the detention time of trains on the busy Mumbai-Delhi route.
The project was termed as one of the “super critical projects” of the Indian Railways since the yard lies just on the north of Vadodara on the extremely busy Delhi-Mumbai route.
According to a senior railway official, “The remodelled Vadodara Yard will help in segregating rail traffic of Ahmedabad and Ratlam sides. On 13 March, the non-interlocking work was successfully completed and Vadodara Yard electronic interlocking was commissioned.”
“During the remodelling work, 3 signalled loop lines in UP direction were provided, which will help in train regulation and preference. Along with this, goods bypass lines 1 & 2 were made for passenger trains, which will be utilised to run passenger trains if required,” the official said.
The line capacity in the earlier super congested Vadodara area has now been increased, with this 8 permanent speed restrictions were also removed.
