Freight trains will not have to slow down on the 351 km-long New Bharatpur-New Khurja stretch of the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor,
Times of Indiareports.
This feature means that the freight trains can achieve high average speeds leading to faster transportation of materials. For example the goods train flagged off by Prime Minister Modi on the corridor covered 59.6 km in one hour, while travelling at its designated speed of 60 kmph.
This is touted to be one of the unique elements of the two dedicated corridors. The railway officials have revealed that the strict implementation of good maintenance services will provide such convenience to the freight trains on this route.
