GORAKHPUR Operations on the third rail line in Gorakhpur commenced on Tuesday, effectively resolving the longstanding issue of extended waiting times for both long-distance passengers and trains at Cantt Railway Station before reaching Gorakhpur Junction.
The speed trial for the inaugural third rail line of the NE Railway, connecting Kusmhi and Gorakhpur Cantt Railway Station, was successfully completed on Monday. During the trial, the Commission for Railway Security observed trains running at speeds of up to 120 kilometres per hour.
Notably, around 76 trains traveling from Delhi to Bihar via Gorakhpur had been cancelled for six days due to a mega block on the rail line for the construction of the third rail line.
