CHENNAI: The Commissioner of Railway Safety will conduct a safety inspection of the newly converted broad gauge line between Tirunelveli and Tiruchendur from August 7 to 9.
Southern Railway Chief Administrative Officer R. Ramanathan told The Hindu here on Monday that Safety Commissioner K.J.S. Naidu would conduct trolley inspection of the 62-km line on August 7 and 8 and speed trial on August 9. After his clearance, the new BG line would be opened for passenger traffic. CRS certification was mandatory for any new line to operate passenger services.
In the second week of August, the CRS will inspect the second BG line between Dindigul and Kodaikanal Road and the Tiruvarur-Nagore (30 km) line in September.
Mr. Ramanathan said though the 10-km Katpadi-Vellore new BG line and a third line from Korukkupet to Ennore had been completed, their safety inspection was being delayed in the absence of Deputy CRS (Electrification) for inspecting the electric traction.
According to officials of the Central Organisation for Railway Electrification, the opening of the BG electrification between Villupuram and Ariyalur for goods traffic was also being delayed.
