BHUBANESWAR: The East Coast Railway (ECoR) on Monday ran a 2-km long items educate through amalgamating three freight trains as one unit for the primary time in its historical past. It is named Python Rake because of its long snake size formation whilst operating at the monitor.
Jaideep Gupta, divisional railway supervisor of Sambalpur division, mentioned, “The duration is possibly a file in the nation though we wish to test past similar experiments in railways historical past to establish that.”
The educate comprised 147 wagons, three brake and guard vehicles and four engines. The first educate or rake of 45 flat wagons was once loaded with packing containers, whilst the second one and third rakes of 51 alumina packing containers each and every were empty. These three freight trains were going in opposition to Visakhapatnam Port in Andhra Pradesh.
Gupta mentioned they performed run of this Python Rake on experimental foundation. “Initially, we had planned to run 101 km from Godbhaga to Balangir station, however we ran 40 km extra in opposition to Titilagarh junction inspired through the primary 101 km journey. Later, we disconnected a educate at Saintala station and the second one at Badmal station,” he added.
Gupta mentioned the railway is constructing double line between Khaliapali and Dungripali stations in Sambalpur division. The trains run slowly on a single line and get not on time. “We took a choice to amalgamate three items trains and pass the railway phase to lend a hand different stranded trains to move it. For instance, these three trains were taking one hour each and every to move the railway phase, however now the Python Rake (three trains) took just one hour to move the realm. It saved time and effort and reduced force on rail visitors,” he added.
ECoR resources mentioned the zone will perform these exercises in an organised means soon in numerous parts of the state and its jurisdiction. “We have observed operating of Python Rake with two trains in Agra and different spaces of the country. But amalgamation of 3 rakes and operating it in organised means is possibly the new experiment in the Indian Railways,” mentioned a senior officer of the ECoR.
