TRACK AND SIGNAL MODERNISATION WORK

Railways is taking up major modernization work on track and signaling system as an essential work to improve safety and reliability of train operations at Ernakulam Junction from 30^th January 2016(Saturday) to 10^th February 2016(12 days). The work involves replacing of existing wooden sleeper lay out with concrete sleeper lay out at crossover points and installation of modern micro processor based control panels for signaling system. The work will enhance train handling speed by 5 kmph in yard  and safety in train operations . As the existing signals will be disconnected, signal and track setting will have to be done manually for every train movement, resulting in traffic constrains.  As such Railways will have to impose traffic restriction on trains through Ernakulam Junction station during the period.
