With this, segregation of main line traffic ( Surat Mumbai) and Udhna – Jalgaon line traffic has been achieved.
new line would enable direct reception and diversion of trains to and from Jalgaon section, without affecting the flow of trains along the Surat – Mumbai main line thus improving punctuality of trains.
please wait...Translate to EnglishYo, listen up! Western Railway (WR) just announced that they finally got their act together and added a third line between Surat and Udhna for all the peeps and cargo that need to travel. This included building an extra 2 km of track, hooking up some electricity, and installing some fancy-sounding stuff called Route Relay Interlocking (RRI) at Surat yard. Oh, and Udhna is a station right near Surat where a line goes off towards Jalgaon, in case you were wondering. So now, they've separated the traffic on the main line between Surat and Mumbai from the traffic going to Jalgaon via Udhna. This new line will let trains go straight to Jalgaon without messing up the flow of trains on the Surat-Mumbai line. That means trains should be running on time now, or at least that's the plan. Livin' the dream, y'all!
