Following successful speed and trolley tests, the Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS) of the Western Circle, RK Sharma, has authorized the safety of the newly commissioned second line between Barlia and Laxmbai Nagar under the Indore-Ujjain track doubling project. The track has been granted permission to run trains at a speed of 95 km/hour, although it achieved a top speed of 127 km/hour during testing.
CRS Sharma and his team conducted the tests, which began at 8:30 am and concluded at 7 pm. The trolley inspection was carried out from Barlia to Laxmbai Nagar Railway Station, followed by a speed test using an electric engine from Laxmbai Nagar to Barlia. The authorized speed for passenger trains has been set at 95 km/hour.
The Chief Engineer of the construction department of Western Railway, Dheeraj Kumar, and the DRM of Ratlam Division, Rajneesh Kumar, were present during the inspections. MP Shankar Lalwani also visited the Laxmbai Nagar Railway Station to discuss the CRS inspection of the doubling section.
Lalwani expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw for providing this facility to the city. He emphasized that the authorization would enable trains to operate at higher speeds and eliminate the need to wait for track clearance.
The completion of the Indore-Ujjain track doubling project, covering a distance of 73.79 km, will significantly enhance the railway infrastructure in the region, benefitting both local commuters and the overall transportation system.
This development will not only improve the efficiency of train services but also contribute to the growth and development of Indore and Ujjain by facilitating smoother, faster, and more reliable rail travel.
The authorization from CRS Sharma marks a significant milestone in the project and paves the way for further progress and enhancement of railway connectivity in the region.
As always, the safety of passengers remains a top priority, with CRS Sharma ensuring that all necessary inspections and tests were carried out to ensure the track’s safety and stability before granting authorization.
With the track now deemed safe for operations, passengers can look forward to a more efficient and convenient rail travel experience in the Indore-Ujjain corridor.
