Regulation of Train Services for Yard Modification & Commissioning of New Electronic Interlocking at Kharagpur Station

Kolkata, 3rd November, 2017:

In order to commission the new electronic Interlocking system in Kharagpur yard replacing the existing facilities, a major remodelling work spanning over 16 days from 4th–19th Nov 2017 will be undertaken. The successful execution of this important safety related work will not o­nly make rail travel across Kharagpur smoother, it will also enhance safety in train operations.

ØWHY IS IT BEING DONE :-

·Replacement of old RRI which has past its date

·Installation of a failsafe, state of the art Interlocking system with both Panel and Visual Display Unit.

·Elimination of 3 Old lever operated cabins.

·Introduction of twin single line working between Kharagpur and Gokulpur.

·Connectivity of 3rd line with Kharagpur yard and Jakpur towards Howrah.

·Introduction of auto signalling system between Kharagpur & Jakpur.

ØBENEFITS TO RAILWAY OPERATIONS & TO THE PASSENGERS:-

·Enhancing the number of routes from 423 to 800 thereby increasing fluidity.

·Ease of reception of freight trains to Kharagpur Yard thereby reducing transit time.

·Quicker implementation of Accident support system by enabling direct dispatch of Accident Relief Medical train/Van and Crane.

·Better fluidity due to commissioning of auto signalling between Kharagpur–Jakpur-Kharagpur.

·Adding two Platforms at Kharagpur station thereby enhancing passenger train handling capacity.

·Enhanced passage between Kharagpur-Gokulpur thereby easing train operation o­n Kharagpur-Midnapur route.

·Faster movement from/towards Howrah due to connectivity of 3rd line with Kharagpur yard.

During the Non interlocking and Pre Non interlocking period, it will be essential to have traffic blocks in and around Kharagpur station during the entire period. In order to manage the traffic smoothly, the run of passenger carrying trains will have to be regulated during this period. This would lead to some amount of disruption in traffic which would be of minor nature o­n some days and of major nature o­n other days. The maximum work would be undertaken o­n 17th, 18th and 19th Nov 2017 leading to cancellation, short termination, regulation, diversion etc of Mail/Exp, Passenger, EMU & MEMU trains.
