nithkkv9788 94 blog postsMe travelled in 12696, TVC-MAS superfast express, till salem(SA)… I’ve observed a thing that Tracks till shornur(SRR) bye pass makes heavy noise.. When it entered in tamilnadu no sound, no disturb, but great speed.. I’ve feel the same when I travelled in 12625, TVC-NDLS Kerala SF express… My question is that, Why Kerala track make much noice?? Why tamilnadu track don’t make noise?? Anyone plz reply

May be because TVC SRR has more curves compared to SRR SA . Even mps wise u can see Considerable difference . Train starts blasting at mps towards PGT after it negotiates SRR bye pass curve.
May be the tracks in Tamilnadu are long welded tracks. There is a gap between the rails because rail expands during hot weather and contracts during cold. This gap adjustes during the hot period. Now a days they create long welded tracks whereby the sound is minised a lot.
Not that each and every Kerala trains Slower in Kerala root because of heavy number of stops... This train too.. My observation is not strange.. Its very true.. Also after entering in tamilnadu 12696 is very faster.. As it covers Erode(ED)-Salem(SA) within 43 minits... Means average speed of 86kmph.. means speed is not a matter in this sound..
I agree with you. SRR to Palakkad is about 46 km and almost all trains superfast and non superfast cover the distance in 30 minutes. This is probably the stretch in kerala that i have seen where trains blast their way through. Last week i travelled in 13352. It left SRR at 10:00 am and reached pgt at 10:30. In the return direction 12677 SBC-ERS intercity left palakkad at 2:25 pm and reached SRR byepass at about 2:50pm.
