read full article... Speed restriction due to elephant presence causes bunching up of trains in Palakkad division

The Palakkad Railway Division is facing a challenge in introducing additional trains due to speed restrictions imposed on the 33-km ghat section between Palakkad and Madukkarai. This restriction, enforced to protect elephants crossing the tracks, limits train speeds to 65 kmph during the day and 45 kmph at night. This has...

resulted in train bunching, reducing capacity and preventing the introduction of new trains. The division aims to increase train speed to 130 kmph on the Shoranur-Mangaluru route but the Palakkad-Madukkarai section remains a hurdle. Solutions proposed include diverting trains via the Palakkad-Pollachi route or constructing an elevated corridor through the elephant-inhabited forest. However, these options require significant investments.

Palakkad Railway Division ko ek badi challenge a rahi hai new trains introduce karne mein, kyunki 33-km ghat section, Palakkad aur Madukkarai ke beech, pe speed restriction lagayi gayi hai. Yeh restriction, jungle mein elephants ko track cross karne se bachane ke liye, din mein 65 kmph aur raat mein 45...

kmph ki speed limit lagati hai. Isse trains bunching ho rahi hai, capacity kam ho rahi hai, aur new trains add nahi ho pa rahi hai. Division ka target Shoranur-Mangaluru route pe train speed 130 kmph tak badhana hai, lekin Palakkad-Madukkarai section ek hurdle ban gaya hai. Is problem ke liye solutions diye jaa rahe hain, jaise Palakkad-Pollachi route se trains divert karna ya elephants waale forest area mein ek elevated corridor build karna. Leikn yeh dono options bahut paise lagne wale hain.

The Southern Railway is installing an optical fiber-based intrusion detection system (IDS) along the 33-km stretch between Kottekkad and Madukkarai to prevent elephant deaths on the tracks. The system, costing ₹15.4 crore, will be implemented by December 2023. The IDS will detect animals using vibrations and send real-time alerts to station...

masters and loco pilots. The system aims to minimize elephant deaths by providing early warnings, but the effectiveness is dependent on the distance the fiber cable is laid from the tracks. The Railway Division has also constructed two underpasses for elephant passage and is installing solar lights to improve night visibility for loco pilots. The speed limit has been temporarily reduced to 35 kmph due to recent elephant deaths, but this has caused challenges for the Railway Division.

aur loco pilots ko bhejega. Ye system elephant deaths ko kam karne ka aim rakhta hai, par fibre cable tracks se kitna dur hai, ispe system ka kaam karna depend karega.

Recent elephant deaths ki wajah se speed limit temporarily 35 kmph kar di gayi hai, par isse Railway Division ko challenges aa rahi hain.
