It is practice followed for every junction railway station in IR to avoid Loco Reversal.
Ballari Jn to Ballari Cant
Daund Jn to Daund Chord Cabin
Vadodara Jn to Chhayapuri
Yesvantpur Jn to Banaswadi/KJM/SMVT
Mangaluru...
more... Jn to Padil bypass, etc.
There is nothing new in this
please wait...Translate to EnglishIt's like a common thing at all railway stations to prevent the engine from turning around. Like from Ballari Jn to Ballari Cant, from Daund Jn to Daund Chord Cabin, from Vadodara Jn to Chhayapuri, and even from Yesvantpur Jn to Banaswadi/KJM/SMVT. They do it at Mangaluru Jn by taking the Padil bypass, you know. So, yeah, nothing surprising here.
