In a significant development for railway operations in India, a new Intermediate Block Hut (IBH) system has been installed at Sanjha Ghat Halt, located between Dhouni and Tekani stations on the Bhagalpur-Dumka railway section. This installation, which took place on Thursday, aims to enhance the safety and efficiency of train movements in the region.
Improved Train Operations and Safety
The IBH is a state-of-the-art signalling system designed to divide long railway sections into smaller, manageable blocks. This crucial upgrade will now enable the safe operation of two trains simultaneously on the same line, a task that was previously restricted. The system eliminates the prior requirement of waiting for one train to completely clear a station before dispatching another.
Enhanced Speed and Line Capacity
With the operationalization of the IBH system, trains on the Bhagalpur-Dumka route are expected to achieve higher speeds. This will directly contribute to reduced travel times for passengers. Furthermore, the overall line capacity will increase, allowing for a more frequent and efficient flow of train services, thus benefiting a larger number of commuters.
Time Savings and Operational Efficiency
The implementation of this modern signalling solution is set to bring about substantial time savings in railway operations. By removing the need for extended waits, the system will streamline the movement of trains. This will result in more effective and smooth train operations across the entire Bhagalpur-Dumka railway section, marking a step forward in Indian railway infrastructure.
