GUWAHATI: The railway track electrification between Assam's Guwahati and Bihar’s Katihar has been completed, said the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR).
This development will provide continuous electric traction from New Delhi to Guwahati.
In addition to saving foreign exchange reserves spent on high-speed diesel (HSD) oil, it will ensure greener transportation and lower carbon footprints, according to a NFR spokesperson.
This incredible achievement will now connect New Delhi to Guwahati via seamless electric traction.
This is yet another effort by NFR to improve capital connectivity through Green Transportation.
The inspection of 107 RKM/273 TKM was undertaken from October 7 to 9.
Passenger trains with higher speed and heavier goods trains can now be run, the spokesperson said.
