Jodhpur: Trains to run at 130 kmph on 126 km track, cattle run-over accidents to be curbed with new measures.
The Jodhpur division of the Railways is installing metal beam crash barriers on the Jodhpur-Phulera (via Merta) and Jodhpur-Bhildi sections. This will significantly prevent loss of life and property in accidents such as cattle run-overs. <p></p> <p><strong>Cattle Run Over on Railway Track:</strong>&nbsp;The Jodhpur Railway Division is installing metal beam crash barriers on the railway tracks from Jodhpur via Merta to Phulera, and on the Jodhpur to Bhildi section, as well as the Barmer-Balotra section. This initiative aims to significantly reduce the loss of life and property caused by accidents such as cattle run-overs. The Railway Board had approved the installation of crash barriers along a 126 km stretch of track between Jodhpur and Phulera, and between Jodhpur and Jalore-Samdari-Dhanera, at a cost of ₹110 crore, four months ago.</p> <h2>Vande Bharat Train&#39;s Speed to Increase</h2> <p>Due to the absence of metal crash barriers on both sides of the railway track in this section, the Vande Bharat train, operating between Jodhpur and Delhi Cantt, is currently restricted to a speed of 108 km/h between Jodhpur and Jaipur. In contrast, the train operates at full speed between Jaipur and Delhi. Once the crash barriers are installed, the Vande Bharat train will be able to run at a speed of 130 km/h. A similar situation exists for the Jodhpur-Sabarmati route. The Ministry of Railways has directed that this work be completed within the next six months. In June, Indian Railways had issued two tenders worth ₹70.66 crore for the installation of crash barriers between Jodhpur and Phulera.<br /> &nbsp;</p> <h2>Barriers to be Installed Between Jodhpur and Phulera</h2> <p>North Western Railway has issued two tenders worth ₹70.66 crore for the installation of metal beam crash barriers between Jodhpur and Phulera. It is expected that upon completion of the crash barrier installation between Jodhpur and Phulera, the speed of trains will increase from 110 km/h to 130 km/h. Indian Railways categorises its tracks into three categories based on speed.<br /> <br /> <strong>Source:&nbsp;<br /> <a href="https://www.patrika.com/en/jodhpur-news/jodhpur-trains-to-run-at-130-kmph-on-126-km-track-cattle-run-over-accidents-to-be-curbed-with-new-measures-20058254" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patrika.com/en/jodhpur-news/jodhpur-trains-to-run-at-130-kmph-on-126-km-track-cattle-run-over-accidents-to-be-curbed-with-new-measures-20058254</a></strong></p>
