The signal and telecom department of Eastern Railway’s Sealdah Division completed a series of significant works. The tasks done are aimed at bolstering safety, improving operational efficiency, and enhancing passenger convenience.
According to the ER, the division has completed the replacement of 10 point machines at crossings across Burrabazar, Princep Ghat, Baruipur, Sealdah South, and Barrackpore stations to ensure seamless and safe train movements. The works also included installation of two new 500 VA inverters at the level crossing (LC) gates of Dakshin Barasat and Bhagawangola, ensuring uninterrupted power supply and enhancing safety measures at these crucial locations by eliminating possibility of signal blanking. At the LC Gates of Bira and Bangaon Junction, electrical key transmitters were replaced to improve signaling reliability along with a three-position polarized relay at Bira, reducing signaling troubles and ensuring a smoother flow of train operations.
