#Knowyourstation.
Delhi Anand Vihar Terminal Railway Station.
*******************************************
#History:- The city of Delhi heavily depends on the Rail
transport to cater for the increasing load of
passengers
...
more...
to their destinations. The long-
distance trains from Delhi used to ply from
three stations namely Delhi Junction (Old
Delhi), New Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin
Railway Stations. These stations lacked the
infrastructure facilities to handle such high
passenger rush. Also, Delhi is the connecting
station for the cities in the Northern states
Punjab , Haryana , Himachal Pradesh ,
Uttarakhand and Jammu and Kashmir. With
increasing passenger pressure at the existing
stations, the requirement of additional major
passenger terminals was identified by the
Northern Railways. The East-bound trains
from Delhi to the states of Uttar Pradesh ,
Bihar, Orissa , Jharkhand West Bengal and
other North-eastern states had to cross the
bridge over River Yamuna as all the three
stations are located on the other side of the
river. Thus, the area of Anand Vihar was
selected in the trans-Yamuna region to
construct a mega-railway terminal. In
2003, Union railway minister Nitish Kumar
announced that Delhi would get a new rail
terminal at Anand Vihar. The station
was commissioned in the 2003 rail budget[6]
and in December 2003, Northern Railway
floated a tender to employ consultants for
Phase-I of Anand Vihar railway station
project.The foundation stone of the
station was laid by the then Union Minister of
Railways, Nitish Kumar on 25 January 2004.
The first phase was expected to be
completed by 2006.

#Facilities:- The station has facilities like booking office,
booking counters, waiting halls with facilities
for handicapped passengers, separate arrival
and departure areas, cloak rooms,
reservation halls, toilets, parcel and luggage
office, operational and service
accommodation and parking areas.The
station also has some modern amenities like
ATMs, a touch-screen enquiry system, foreign
exchange counters, commercial and
maintenance offices, food plazas, and a
computerised ticketing facility. Retiring rooms
and dormitories are also be provided in the
station building.The terminal has a
separate parcel loading facility, two escalators
and six lifts and a special heritage gallery and
custom-made subways which can be used by
physically challenged passengers. It will
also be the only station in the India where
loading and unloading of parcels, linen and
food items will be carried out at the station
yard and not in the platform as per the
prevailing practise, to keep the platforms
clean.
****************************************
#Thestation:- The new terminal was developed to
decongest the New Delhi Railway Station,
Delhi Junction (Old Delhi) and Hazrat
Nizamuddin Railway Station. The terminal is
modelled on the lines of the Vashi terminal
at Navi Mumbai.The new terminal also
helped to relieve congestion on roads into
New Delhi, reducing the load of a million
people daily entering the city. The railway
terminal is integrated with the Anand Vihar
Interstate Bus Terminal (Vivekanand Bus
Terminal) and the Anand Vihar station of the
Delhi Metro located close by, thus
transforming it into a major transportation
hub of Delhi. Further, widening of the rail
overbridge at Anand Vihar is planned as the
current structure is not capable for handling
the traffic.

#Knowyourstation.
Welcome To The Steel City:-Jamshedpur(Tatanagar).
******************************************
#History:- The Tatanagar Railway Station is more than a
century old. Sakchi was identified as the ideal
site
...
more...
for the envisaged steel plant in December
1907. In 1910, the village Kalimati which was
near to sakchi got itself a railway station on
BNR's Howrah-Bombay route.The railways
from then on was the life-line of the steel
plant established by the Tatas. The name of
the Railway station was later changed to
Tatanagar in honour of its founder Jamsetji
Tata . Tatanagar—Rourkela section was the
second 25kV AC electrified section of the
country, the first being Burdwan-Mughalsarai
(in 1957).
The Tatanagar Railway Station was built by
famous Railway Contractor of the town, Nanji
Govindji Taunk and his son Ranchhod Nanji
Taunk of Nanji Govindji & Sons of Bistupur ,
who belonged to KGK Community, a
community noted for their contributions in
building Railway lines of India.
******************************************
#Services:- Tatanagar railway junction is an important
station in the Howrah —Mumbai route, and to
other places such as New Delhi , Chennai, and
Orissa . It is the second biggest station of
South Eastern Railway in terms of passenger
footfalls per day. It falls under South
Eastern Railway Zone and Chakradharpur
division. More than a 100 trains ply from this
route at any given day. It is also a major
transit point for citizens from various parts of
the state. It is one of the busiest trunk routes
section of Eastern India mainly due to being
in the main line for passengers as well as
goods train. It currently has 6 platforms. 5
are for major trains while one (platform 1B)
is used for some passenger trains.
******************************************
#Facilities:- The station is a category A station and houses
all the major facilities like Waiting rooms,
Cafeteria, Bookshop, etc. Existing facilities are
being revamped for developing it as model
station. The linking of the existing footbridge
to outside of the railway station has been
completed which before produced a huge
rush of passengers from the main gate which
was quite troublesome for the incoming
passengers.
The entry of vehicles in the station premises
has been banned, it is only allowed if a
special ticket(zero value) is brought.It has
been done in order to avoid overcrowding
near the main gate. The auto-rickshaws now
have a special lane for entry and exit. The
entry and exit points now have computerized
monitoring units that check vehicles entering
and coming out of the railway station. Close
circuit television cameras have been installed
in the parking area to monitor the people as
well as vehicles. The station has also won
the award for "best maintained station of
South Eastern Railway Division for the year
2009-2010."
The station is set to undergo massive re-
modernization seeing the increased influx of
passengers. Some of them are:
Shifting up of unreserved ticket counters
from the existing premises to the
computerized passenger reservation system
building. The unreserved counters will take
the ground floor while the reservation
counters would be shifted to first floor.
The existing parcel office at pf 1 is shifted
to be shifted to extended region of the
platform near the vehicle over bridge to
reduce congestion.
A new entrance from the burmamines end
would be made to facilitate passengers from
Sakchi, Golmuri, Telco areas. The old vehicle
over bridge would be used as a foot bridge
for entry of passengers. Ticket counters are
also to be made at that end.
Separate lanes as well as parking facilities
for public and private vehicles in order to
reduce congestion near the entrance.
The proposed second footbridge has also
been sanctioned.
The Railway Station is a major station of
South Eastern Railway's and houses a
number of non-passenger related facilities
like Loco sheds,Washing lines etc. in its
premises. A new advanced washing line is
also coming up in the complex.
Apart from this Adityapur has a goods yard
which is used by Tata Steel for parking
purpose. A proposed sick line is also going to
come up there. The station facilities(yard) are
being enhanced seeing need arising out of
the ongoing expansion of the Tata Steel plant
from 6.8 MT to 10 MT.
