Kota Railway Division created a history on Friday. Two records were created simultaneously in the Kota Railway Division.
1 A Train ran at 180 speed in the Kota division. An ordinary train ran at 180 kilometres per hour for the first time.
2 Three goods trains were linked and run together.
Officials of the Kota Railway Division said that the pantry car of the LHB coach was tested by running it at a maximum speed of 180 kilometres per hour in the Kota-Nagda railway section. This test was conducted several times by RDSO. This is the first case in the Kota division of an LHB coach train running at a speed of 180 kilometres per hour. Pantycar of LHB coach has been tested earlier also in the Kota division. But then it was driven at a speed of 160 kilometres per hour. It is noteworthy that earlier in 2018, the Vande Bharat train had also been run at a maximum speed of 180 kilometres per hour. But it was a semi-high-speed train.
Drove three goods trains together in the Kota Railway Division
Similarly, for the first time in the history of the West-Central Railway. Three goods trains were combined and run as a long haul.
These goods trains were connected at Bhulon station on the Kota-Baran railway section. Of these, two had reached Bhulon from Kota and one goods train from the thermal power plant. After this, this long haul was transported to the Bhopal division. Due to this, the path of two goods trains was saved.
Running long-haul trains can reduce congestion in busy sections and increase overall throughput. This approach also has the added benefit of speeding up rolling stocks. Moreover, it is reducing the number of trains on the track.
This cleared the way for running more goods trains. Assistant Operations Manager Upendra CP Singh was present at Bhulon station during the construction of the long haul. Senior Divisional Commercial Manager Rohit Malviya said that in times of emergencies and excessive accumulation of vehicles, the operation of this long haul will prove to be very useful in the transportation of vehicles. Moreover, he said that under the leadership of Divisional Railway Manager Manish Tiwari, this trial was conducted after the hard work of Senior Divisional Operations Manager Saurabh Jain, Divisional Operating Manager Ravi Prakash Verma and the team of the Operations Department.
The Kota Railway Division General Manager has congratulated the team for this achievement.
