a bypass line is constructed connecting Ilu with Silli in Ranchi Divn, bypassing Muri (total length of around ±5 Km) and once the RNC - LAD – TORI BG stretch is through & electrified, HOWRAH (SER) TO NEW DELHI TRAINS CAN ADOPT A NEW ROUTE (HALF OF THE TOTAL LENGTH) via Tata – Ranchi – Tori – Chopan – Chunar / Dehri.
AND / OR if a bye-pass line is constructed bypassing Purulia (length is less than 2 Km), a new route can be adopted via Kharagpur – Adra – Muri – Ranchi – Tori – Chopan – Chunar / Dehri. A small bridge will require en-route aside PRR.
HOWRAH MUMBAI TRAINS CAN ALSO ADOPT A NEW ROUTE VIA KHARAGPUR / TATA – MURI – RANCHI – TORI – CHOPAN – KATNI which will be shorter than that of present route either via NGP or ALD.
Survey for erection of above new bypass lines, if agreed, may please be started.
2/ Survey / Works on Double Line may be started in between Hatia & KNRN / Bondamunda keeping in view the increasing number of trains & passengers on this line. Additionally, if this line is connected with Itki from Hatia / Balsiring bypassing Ranchi City, a new shorter route will be unpacked for “Rourkela – Hatia / Argora – Lohardaga – Tori - Mughalsarai – Delhi – Jammu” route.
Third line in between Hatia & Tatisilwai (around 21 Km) can also be considered.
3/ Proposals prepared for new trains on some uncommon routes & for those cities which are not connected with each other and not a single train is plying on these proposed routes. The Time Schedule prepared and attached is based on the capability of most recent Locos, Coaches & upgraded track wherever available. Intentional late / Margin time has not been measured while arranging the time schedule :
i/ HATIA – MANGALORE via Secunderabad / Madgaon (PASCHIMGHAT EXPRESS) -NEED OF THE HOUR;
ii/ HATIA – Bhubaneshwar – CHENNAI ( KOEL KRISHNA KAVERI EXPRESS ) - NEED OF THE HOUR;
iii/ RANCHI – Lucknow – DEHRADUN ( JAL PRAPAT EXPRESS )
iv/ RANCHI – Guwahati – DIBRUGARH TOWN ( CHOU BIHU EXPRESS );
v/ HATIA – Rourkela – Bilaspur – BHOPAL;
vi/ RANCHI – Choupan – Katni – Bhopal – INDORE;
vii/ RANCHI – Ahmedabad – OKHA via Chopan / Katni / Bhopal ( RADHA KISHAN EXP );
viii/ ROURKELA – RNC – BKSC – DHN – DURGAPUR ( STEEL CITY EXPRESS );
ix/ DIBRUGARH TOWN – MANGALORE via NJP/ UD / HTE / BSP / SC ( SOUTHEAST EXPRESS );
x/ MANGALORE CENTRAL – GORKHPUR.
4/ Increase in Frequency / speed for the following trains may please be considered:-
i/ 22845/22846 – Hatia Pune Express - 2 days to 6 days with Pantry Car;
ii/ 12811/12812 – Hatia LTT Express (via Nagpur) - 2 days to 6 days;
iii/ 15661/15662 – Ranchi Kamakhya Express, 2 days to 6 days with Pantry Car. Also, at ease with increase in speed can be extended upto Lumding / Manu / Dibrugarh Town.
iv/ 13425/13426 ST MLDT Exp be extended upto NJP for extra Passengers.
v/ Dhanbad – Ranchi Intercity Rake can be extended upto ROU or LAD to make use of idle time.
5/ Big Electronic Watches should be installed immediately in all the platforms ie 1, 1A, 2, 3, 4 & 5 at Ranchi Junction as well as in other stations of Ranchi Division.
6/ ELECTRIC LOCO SHED FOR RANCHI / HATIA initially with 25 WAP4 & 25 WAG9 locos may be considered. Wag9 Locos to be homed for theses sheds can be named “PAHARI”.
Plenty of land at Ranchi is available, earlier used for NG Line & BG Wash line.
7/ CIC LINE SHOULD BE TRANSFERRED UNDER RANCHI DIVISION.
8/ DEVELOPMENT & MATURED MODIFICATIONS OF ARGORA STN ( RANCHI DIVN )
As you are aware, Argora is a Halt station in between Ranchi and Itki, only 2½ Km away from Ranchi Junction; earlier serving the narrow gauge trains of Ranchi – Lohardaga. This is the point from where Roukerla and Lohardaga lines are bifurcated. Now even after gauge conversion, this station has not much been improved due to non-availability of passengers, in spite of the fact that it is well connected by road (±1 km existing road to be upgraded). Besides, this station is well inside the periphery of Ranchi City. So, this Halt station can be developed with alluring adornment as full-fledged station.
This particular station, once the RNC - LAD – TORI BG line is through & electrified, can be used for North & North-West bound trains from RNC / HTE for which initiatives are to be taken henceforth like construction of 2 new platforms of around 550 / 600m long (to accommodate 20/22 coaches). Only 1 platform having track on both sides will also serve the purpose for time being, if a 5m wide sloped underground subway is built to connect the platform. Already a platform of about 350m in length is available at Argora which can be widened in length with a track on the opposite side. It is relatable to mention here that plenty of land is available with the railway in this particular area for construction of platforms, earlier which was used for Rly colony. So, I think, it will not be difficult for Railway to start this very new project from now on, because no land acquisition is involved in this particular case. Furthermore, Start / Termination / Stoppage of some trains can, as well & at ease, be arranged at Argora alternating RNC / HTE during traffic congestion.
Furthermore, cleanse rake whenever required can easily be placed at Argora from Hatia Yard (2 km away) and vice-versa. Thus, pressure of idle rake on RNC / HTE can easily be reduced. This will be more effective if one or two extra track is put up in between Argora & Dibdih. After washing & cleaning at Hatia yard, some of the rakes can be positioned here for onward movement to Ranchi. If I am not inaccurate, keeping in view the robust increase in number of passengers / trains from Ranchi and Hatia, Argora Station must have to be developed in near future. SO, WHY NOT TODAY ?!?
