The weekly Tirhut Express and Muzaffarpur-Howrah Jansadharan Express running between Muzaffarpur and Kolkata will be renamed as Amrit Bharat Train. Its preparation was going on for two years, but Chennai Coach Factory has increased the production, hence this train will be run for the convenience of the passengers.
Regarding its preparation, Sonpur DRM has given necessary instructions by holding a meeting with the Coaching Depot Officer of Muzaffarpur-Barauni and all the supervisors of Carriage and Wagon. He has asked to first repair the OHE at the washing pit.
Let us tell you that there is a plan to run 11 Amrit Bharat trains and Vande Bharat trains from all the divisions of East Central Railway. Senior railway officials are busy preparing for this.
Preparation of washing pit as per Amrit Bharat train
To run Amrit Bharat train from Muzaffarpur, first of all orders have been given to prepare the washing pit. There are engines on both sides of this train, hence washing pit number one of Muzaffarpur Junction has been selected for it. 25 thousand volt overhead (OHE) electric wire will be run there. After its installation the vehicle will reach the washing pit. There is no OHE at the washing pit, because there can be a danger of electric shock during washing, hence the rack is taken there with a diesel engine.
However, OHE will be installed at the pit for washing Amrit Bharat train. For this, OHE engineer KD Prasad has been asked to be deployed soon. On Tuesday, the OHE officer along with the Electricity Department has prepared a map for installing OHE at number one washing pit of the junction.
OHE electricity of washing pit will remain closed for seven hours during washing.
It will take about seven hours to wash Amrit Bharat train. There will be six hours of time for washing the coach and one hour for washing the engine. At the time of washing, the OHE power will be switched off for this period. There will be a trial of lighting etc. at the time of washing and electricity will be supplied again at that time.
