A Road under Bridge (RUB) between Panisagar and Pencharthal station on the Baraigram-Agartala section was commissioned by NF Railway on February 14
GUWAHATI, March 7: NF Railway (NFR) has successfully completed a series of crucial infrastructure upgrades during February 2025, aimed at improving safety and ensuring smooth train operations in important sections of its network. These works underscore the continuous efforts of NF Railway to enhance railway infrastructure and provide safer, faster and more reliable services for both passengers and freight movement.
One of the significant achievements during the month was the successful construction of a Road under Bridge (RUB) between Panisagar and Pencharthal station on the Baraigram-Agartala section. Commissioned on February 14, 2025, this new RUB has permanently eliminated unauthorized track crossings at the location, substantially enhancing safety for both train operations and the local population.
In addition, NF Railway completed the replacement of old girders at Major Bridge No 103 located between Chaparmukh and Kampur stations.
Following the successful replacement of all four girders existing speed restriction of 75 kmph will now be withdrawn, enabling trains to operate at higher speeds while ensuring safer passage across the bridge.
In the Lumding-Badarpur hill section, NF Railway also undertook vital flood protection works at two vulnerable locations at which had faced severe muck flow and waterlogging from upstream areas during the last monsoon. NFR has constructed two robust RCC Box culverts across the track, along with side drainage channels and necessary slope protection works.
These improvements will ensure efficient drainage and protect the track during heavy rains, securing uninterrupted train services through this critical hilly terrain.
NF Railway remains fully committed to continuously improving infrastructure, enhancing safety and ensuring reliable train operations across its network.
These recently completed works are part of a broader strategy to modernize railway assets and provide passengers and freight customers with safe, efficient, and seamless transportation services, a release issued by NF Railway CPRO Kapinjal Kishore Sharma stated.
