Due to major track renovation works to be carried out near Coimbatore junction from 3rd to 6th of September, 2015, there will be major change in the operation of trains that originate/terminate/pass through Coimbatore junction.
The works to be carried out is called “elimination of Scissors Crossing/Cross Over”. Two such crossings exist near the Road Over Bridge adjacent to Coimbatore junction at present. These are obsolete, outdated (as the components used in such crossings are dated, such as wooden sleepers, etc.) and are posing serious threat to safe operation of trains apart from delay in running of trains passing through the crossing, as it doesn’t allow operating of two trains parallel as is done in normal crossings. Railway Board had already taken a policy decision to completely remove all scissors crossings, all over the country.
The current work was originally sanctioned in the year 2010, and is now being taken up for completion at an estimated costs of Rs.1.5 crores, spread over 4 days, taking 4 to 8 hours a day, without causing major disruption in the operation of trains services, and without cancelling any train, keeping in mind the needs of the train passengers. The remodelling of the scissors crossings at Coimbatore, is a major work equalling to laying of new track, which is normally being handled by the Construction Organisation of Southern Railway. However, in this case, all the major departments connected with the operation of trains such as Engineering, Mechanical, Electrical, Operations, Signal & Telecommunications, and Commercial Departments of Salem Division, are working in this major project, together, to ensure minimum disturbance in the operation of trains and smooth completion of the works.
The details of the change in operation of trains are provided hereunder:
கோயம்புத்தூர் ரயில்நிலையம் அருகே உள்ள ரயில்வே மேம்பாலம் அருகே பெரிய அளவில் ரயில்தடம் மாற்றும் பணிகள் நடைபெற உள்ளதால், செப்டம்பர் 3ம் தேதி முதல் 6ம் தேதி வரை, கோயம்புத்தூரில் இருந்து புறப்படும், கோயம்புத்தூர் வந்து சேரும், கோயம்புத்தூர் வழியாக செல்லும் ரயில்களின் இயக்கத்தில் தற்காலிக மாற்றம் செய்யப்பட்டுள்ளது.
கத்திரி ரயில்தடஇணைப்பு நீக்கம் என்றழைக்கப்படும் இப்பணிகள் மூலமாக, கோயம்புத்தூர் ரயில் நிலையம் அருகே உள்ள இரு கத்திரி ரயில்தட இணைப்புகள் நீக்கப்பட்டு சாதாரண இணைப்பாக மாற்றப்பட உள்ளன. தற்போதுள்ள இத்தகு கத்திரி ரயில்தட இணைப்புகள் மிகப்பழமையானவை. கட்டைகளாலான ரயில்தட பலகைகள் கொண்டுள்ளன. இவை ரயிலியக்கப்பாதுகாப்புக்கு பெரும் அச்சுறுத்தலாக இருப்பதுடன், ரயில்களின் இயக்கத்தையும் தாமதப்படுத்தி வருகின்றன. ரயில்வே வாரியம் இத்தகு கத்திரி ரயில்தட இணைப்புகள் அனைத்தையும் நாடெங்கிலும் முற்றிலுமாக நீக்க ஏற்கனவே கொள்கை அளவில் முடிவு எடுத்துள்ளது.
தற்போது மேற்கொள்ளப்படவிருக்கும் இப்பணிகள் 2010ம் ஆண்டில் அனுமதி தரப்பட்டு, தற்போது நிறைவு பெறஉள்ளன. மொத்தம் சுமார் 1½ கோடி ரூபாய் செலவில் ஒரு நாளைக்கு 4 முதல் 8 மணி நேரம் வரை 4 நாட்கள் மேற்கொள்ளப்படவுள்ள இப்பணிகள், பயணிகளுக்கு பெருமளவில் பாதிப்பு ஏற்படாத அளவில் திட்டமிடப்பட்டுள்ளது. புதியதாக ரயில்தடம் பதிக்கும் பணிக்கு இணையான இத்தகு பணிகள் பொதுவாக தெற்கு ரயில்வேயின் கட்டுமானப்பிரிவினால்தான் மேற்கொள்ளப்படும். ஆனால், முதன் முறையாக, சேலம் கோட்டத்தின் ரயில் இயக்கத்தில் பங்கேற்கும் முக்கிய பிரிவுகளான இயந்திரவியல், பொறியியல், மின்னியல், தொலைத்தொடர்பு, ரயிலியக்கம் மற்றும் வணிகவியல் பிரிவுகள் ஒன்றிணைந்து இப் பெரும் பணியை மேற்கொள்ள உள்ளன.
செப்டம்பர் 3ம் தேதி முதல் 6ம் தேதி வரை கோயம்புத்தூரில் இருந்து புறப்படும், கோயம்புத்தூர் வந்து சேரும், கோயம்புத்தூர் வழியாக செல்லும் ரயில்களின் இயக்க நேர மாற்றங்கள் கீழ்க்கண்டவாறு:
