Earlier on January 4, 865 trains were interchanged, which was a record so far. According to railway officials, this record freight interchange has reduced the pressure on conventional rail lines, making the operation of passenger trains more timely and convenient.
Besides, the economy has also been strengthened by faster delivery of essential commodities and reduction in logistics costs. This achievement reflects DFCCIL's growing operational efficiency, robust planning system and strong traffic management.
Safe, fuel-efficient and uninterrupted operation was ensured even on heavily loaded sections through effective regulation of train speed, maintaining safe headway and better coordination between neighboring stations.
