[Resolved]  Indian Railway — Wireless signaling

Address:

Odisha

Following was one of my experiences about Indian Railway. On 01.06.12 I was traveling by 12871 UP Ispat Express from Kharagpur to Rajgangpur. Before reaching Rajgangpur the train stopped at the outside of the platform. Usually all up trains arrive in platform number - 1 at Rajgangpur. After 15 min. it again started and arrived in the middle line in which through train usually passes. There was a train standing in platform number-1, it would be better if 12871 UP Ispat Express would be arrived in platform number - 2 or 3 as there was no train. All aged, ladies and children passenger were in great trouble to get down from the train on the line in between two trains, walking with their heavy luggage along with the line and climbing the platform with their heavy luggage. Moreover it was very difficult to get down to line with heavy luggage from the train as stair case is usually short and inside. Accident may also occur if any train would come in down line or through line. It would be better if this train was signaled after departure of the train in platform-1. As there are many accidents happening in India due to poor signaling, this type of carelessness of railway may cause another fatal accident. Railway authority and administration should take care after such cases so that there will be no repeat of such incident.
