Get-aways on Northern Railway

Every land of India holds its unique tale to narrate. Present are some exceptional locations where one experiences the uniqueness of India, where one wonders at the cultural mosaic i.e. India. The terrain that caves in Northern Railway is as well different, from the mountainous Shivalik range to the lush Tarai region and the majestic Gangetic plains. The North of the country is surrounded by the mighty Himalayas, the highest mountains on the earth. Himalaya Mountains are not a single mountain but a serial of mountain range with beautiful valleys deposited between them. The concluding Southern array of the Himalayas, the Shivalik Hills closes abruptly in the northern plains of India. In complete direct contrast to the eminent mountain peaks, the northern plain is oppressively plane and slopes so gradually that about the whole way from Delhi to the Bay of Bengal it slopes only 200M.

It has successfully raised Foot-over-bridges simultaneously in the same traffic block on busy section. ART Conversion, Vacuum Pressure Impregnation Plants are a few of the modernization actions conducted in the various Workshops of the Railway. The Tughlakabad Workshop has acquired a modern method of reducing loco failure and at times fire in locos due to over-heating in HP Expresser Pipe. A modification has been executed by the shed to improve air circulation in the expresser compartment by allowing car body filters in the side panel to take care of this problem. Besides better cooling, this also enables a maintenance-friendly Expresser compartment.
