NFR has been taking various measures to increase sectional speed of trains. For which temporary and permanent speed restrictions are being removed wherever feasible. Moreover speeds of train movement through loop lines have also beenincreased in various sections. This resulted into overall increase in speed of trains apart from improvement in punctuality.Speed on loop lines in 277.45 km sections under Tinsukia division of NFR has been increased.
These include 190.95 km long Furketing – Simaluguri – Sripuriagaon section consisting 19 stations and 86.5 km long Furketing – Jorhat – Mariani section consisting 5 stations. As a result of this improvement, trains can now pass through the loop lines of these stations with increased speed and thereby reducing journey time.
Similarly sectional speed of train in the 65.2 km long Baraigram – Pecharthal section and 20.27 km long Chandranathpur – Badarpur section under Lumding divisionof NFR has been raised to 100 kmph by undertaking various types of improvement works. Trains plying over these sections will now be running with increased speed, which will help in reducing the journey time considerably.Moreover 1(one) permanent speed restrictions has also been removed during the month of June in Lumding – Furkating section under Lumding division.run trains over that portion with substantially improved speed.
