●        Maximum Speed: 350 kmph

●        Operational Speed: 320 kmph

●        Average Speed: 250 kmph

●        Track Gauge: Standard Gauge – 1435mm

●        Signalling: ETCS Level-2 of ERTMS

●        Train Capacity: 750 passengers

●        Traction: 25 KV AC overhead catenary (OHE)

●        Safety: Urgent Earthquake Detection and Alarm System (UrEDAS) for automatic braking in case of an earthquake

Mumbai – Hyderabad HSR Route Information

●        Length: 767 km

●        Type: Elevated, Underground & At-Grade

●        Number of Stations: 11 (10 new)

●        Station Names: Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai (possibly at Navi Mumbai International Airport), Lonawala, Pune, Kurkumb/Daund, Akluj, Pandharpur, Solapur, Kalaburagi (Gulbarga), Zaheerabad and Hyderabad

Mumbai – Hyderabad HSR Route Map with Route Description:

 

The proposed Mumbai – Hyderabad High Speed Rail Corridor is planned to run along major expressways, national highways, greenfield areas, and may pass through arterial roads of the intermediate city road network for high speed rail connectivity between different cities along the corridor.

On the Mumbai end of the line, the line’s new civil infrastructure is expected to start from Thane, or thereabouts, and branch off from the 508.17 km Mumbai Ahmedabad High Speed Rail corridor’s Package C3.

Alignment and location of stations displayed below are purely indicative just to give an idea of how the line might look like.



Mumbai – Hyderabad HSR Fares (Prices)

The fare structure is yet to be finalized but is expected to be 1.5 times the existing first class AC fare on the Indian Railways’ current service. The line’s official fare structure, prices and rules are expected to be finalized closer to the start of commercial operations.

Railway Engineering: A Beginner’s Perspective – Introduction

Image
  The need of transportation was felt since the start of primitive civilization and with the human beings began shifting goods and people from one place to another. However this cumbersome task was done either as a head loads or in carts drawn by men or animals. However the advancement of civilization and progress in modern science and technology added new elements in the transportation systems such as steam powered engines followed by diesel or petrol and then electric powered engines. These stepwise new additions in to railway systems revolutionized transportation sector, which not only enhanced ease with which shifting of goods is done but also the volume of goods to be transported at longer distances within shorter times. Hence this system found superior to any other transpiration systems available. A rail system has proved to be a real vehicle for civilizational transformation and assimilation. Needless to say that one must learn more about the rail systems and its components. W

The Barsi Light Railway

      The Barsi Light Railway between Latur and Miraj in Maharashtra was a pre-independence private company.) And set up a private company with a share capital of Rs. 7,014,477. The company's office was permanently located at Winchester House, Broad street, London. The Narrow-Gauge Railway, 2 feet 6 inches wide, was started on March 1, 1897, just 9 feet wide along Kurduwadi Barshi Road. The company's India office was initially located in Barshi and later in Kurduwadi. A. L. Alexander was appointed chief manager and agent. The duo of Alexander and Calthrop brought BLR a golden day by night. His salary was 2200 and 1500 rupees per month. Initially built only for Barshi Road (Kurduwadi) to Barshi, it grew to 323 km from Latur to Miraj in 1927, becoming the largest private narrow gauge railway in India. Due to the Warakaris going to Pandharpur, this vehicle was called the vehicle of God. Even on Ashadi Ekadashi, people used to sit not only on the train tracks but also in front of t

Indian Railways Toilet System

  Indian Railways serve 7,000 stations and 22 million passengers daily. Indian Railways commits to provide clients with safe and trustworthy train services, as well as clean and hygienic surroundings on trains and in stations. There are only 1600 long-distance trains. Suburban trains cover an average of 42 km. The remaining 4700 trains are estimated to be 3100 passenger trains traveling 50 to 250 km and 1600 mail/express trains operating 300 to 2400 km. Mail and fast trains are filthy. Both must be addressed. Even if we haven't done so, it would be fascinating to look at the train profile's duration and time (two or more nights or one night and arriving early in the morning) in terms of biological functioning and cultural norms. In the early days of the IR, lower-class train coaches had no bathrooms. On July 2, 1909, Babu Okhil Chandra Sen complained to Sahibganj [1]. Here's the letter Later, all lower-class trains traveling over 50 kilometers were expected to have ba
