REASI: In a landmark achievement, Indian Railways has marked a historic milestone by successfully deploying the first electronic locomotive across the world's highest Chenab railway bridge and the Anji Khad cable bridge on Sunday morning.
This significant event underscores the progress of the ambitious Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla railway link project, a dedicated broad gauge railway line designed to connect the Kashmir Valley with the Indian Railway network.
Upcoming Inspection and Trial Run
The Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS) is scheduled to conduct a comprehensive inspection this week, which will include a high-speed trial run from Banihal to Katra at 110 km/h.
The final date for regular rail services through this route will be determined following the submission of the CRS inspection report.
The USBRL Project
The Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla railway link (USBRL) project aims to establish a reliable, all-weather transportation system for Jammu and Kashmir.
Initiated by the central government in 1999 and declared a national project in 2002, the USBRL is a testament to engineering excellence in the challenging Himalayan terrain.
This project is poised to be a game-changer for the region, fostering transport, trade, and tourism.
Engineering Marvels
The USBRL project represents the most challenging undertaking by Indian Railways since independence.
It involves the construction of 38 tunnels spanning a total length of 119 km, including India's longest transportation tunnels, the Sumber-Arpinchala T49 (12.75 km) and the Pir Panjal T-80 (11.2 km).
