BENGALURU: In yet another eco-friendly move, the Bengaluru Railway Division has built an eco-friendly siding (a short track that opens onto a railway line) at the Tumakuru side entry of the Yeswanthpur Railway Station.
It is made from railway concrete sleepers, which would have otherwise been treated as scrap material. According to an official release, the parcel siding has been constructed to facilitate loading for parcel cargo express trains that are expected to start soon. “The length of the siding is around 150 metres and the cost of executing the work is estimated to be Rs 60.2 lakh,” it said.
