OB Bureau

Bhubaneswar: The East Coast Railway (ECoR) has taken several measures to prevent any kind of mishap due to dense foggy condition during the winter.

It has directed the loco pilots to regulate train speed depending o­n visibility conditions for the safety of passengers in dense foggy weather. Train running staff are being counselled by the Railway Officers & Safety counsellors on how to handle the situations.

In order to alert the loco pilots and improve visibility, luminous and fluorescent strips have been painted in overhead equipment masts, level crossings and at heavy traffic areas before the stop signal. The provision has been of great help to the loco pilots who can spot these luminous strips even during fog and become extra careful.

General manager, East Coast Railway has directed the officials of the Safety Department to accord top priority to safe running of trains during the winter season. The loco pilots and guards have been told to run the trains at the speed they feel comfortable, even if it means loss of time.
