Yeshwantpur-Tumakuru rail line electrified, ready for safety inspection
The Commissioner of Railway Safety will soon inspect the electrified Yeshwantpur-Tumakuru line.
Bengalureans, however, will have to wait more to take electric trains to the airport because the project to electrify the Yelahanka-Devanahalli section of the Chikkaballapur line has been delayed by over six months.
After conducting trials runs of the electric locomotive over the past month, the South Western Railway (SWR) is awaiting the CRS inspection of the Yeshwantpur-Tumakuru line. “We recently sent the necessary documents to the CRS and are awaiting further information from them. A part of the section between Tumakuru and Hirehalli has already been inspected by the CRS who has made some observations.
