The 'PINK BOOK' of INDIAN RAILWAYS containing budgetary allocation of railway projects brought some relief in the form adequate allocation for PODANUR - POLLACHI GC works. This section was delayed because of land acquisition and now, The State Govt. and Dist administration taking steps to expedite the land acquisition. There are some signs of the process of acquisition being completed in MARCH / APRIL and the works commencing at a faster pace there after to complete the section by 2014.
As per News post, Posted by Mr. RANG DE BASANTI.

In the 2013-2014 Union Railway budget, Rs 100 crores allotted for works in respect of 52 km long POLLACHI- PALGHAT , 45 km long POLLACHI-PODANUR and POLLACHI-UDUMALAI sections.
According to officials from the construction wing this allocation would be more or less it is sufficient to complete the project.

When it is going to be the complete?

when can we expect them to complete this GC???

also they should electrify this route...otherwise it will remain as island with diesel loco..coz PTJ-CBE is electrified....from PGT also electrified...CAPE-MDU-DG also electrified....

This MG Section laid as early as in 1920 and the section closed for GC in MAY 2009.
Gauge Conversion works in respect of the DINDIGUL-PALANI-UDUMALAI sections have been completed. UDUMALAI-POLLACHI section almost nearing completion and the officials are confident of opening the section up to POLLACHI for traffic by MAY or JUNE this year. By 2014 the entire section of CBE / PGT - PALANI section become operational.

really great news to hear....waiting for PGT-RMM pass via POY....also CBE-RMM Daily exp via POY

Regarding ELECTRIFICATION , Ist CBF-MTP section is going to complete. For that fund allocation, project approval every thing is over last budget it-self. As far as this line is concerned PTJ-POY may complete first. Because POY-PTJ-CBE-CBF-MTP section is important for suburban trains.

agree..POY-PTJ is very imp.....

DINDIGUL [DG]-PODANUR [PTJ[ Section.
There are totally 38 LC gates are there in this section. Out of this, Rly's constructed ROB or RUB at 16 places. The rest of 19 places will be manned LC. The total project will be completed with in the end of year 2014.

The PALANI-POLLACHI newly laid BG Rly line nearing finishing stage. Trail run will conduct on May 2013 this year and passenger traffic will resume from June said Rly higher official.

so the budget announced MAS-PLNI and TCN-PLNI will run from POY???

So far no news about extension of these trains. Only news is commissioning of POY-PLNI section.

Nice captures.

Superb.

gud captre #gc

POY-PTJ Section
The Pollachi-Podanur GC work was delayed because of delay in land acqusition by the state Govt. between Podanur and Kinathukaduvu Rly station. Nearly for the 10 km stretch, about 40 acres of land to be acquired from the villages Kinathukaduvu, Nallati palayam, Selvam palayam, Chetii palayam, Arasam palayam and Kodangi palayam. Now, The dist. administration working full swing and hope will be completed soon.

The State Government and District administration taking steps to expedite the land acquisition there are some signs of the process of acquisition being completed in March/April 2013 and the works commencing at a faster pace there after to complete the section by March 2014.

what is the total distance of poy-ptj???

Thanks for your information & sharing the latest proceedings with fellow members. How many Platforms are there in Pollachi Junction as of now? Being the junction,it seems Pollachi is having better chances & facilities than Palani Railway Station. So,Railway Authorities will commence the recently announced Palani - Chennai Daily express to originate from Pollachi with the name of "Anamalai Express" by extending it for another 62 Kms..Any way, People of these region are eagerly awaiting for the day of Starting this train service.

With the works almost nearing completion, SR is gearing up for conducting a trail run on PLNI-POY section latest by MAY 2013 and CRS inspection will follow. The team of officials officials from SR carried out an Inspection of works recently.

great news..but still KRR-SA ,MNM-VPT are waiting for CRS

May be, The CRS will inspect these two new lines one by one. Because The line likely to be thrown open for passenger traffic some time in June or July this year according to the Rly officials.[source :The Hindu, dt : 04/04/2013]
Further, it may be delayed for want of politicians to inaugurate.

election nearing so chances r there to inaugurate this year

no chance for inauguration of KRR-SA/MNM-VPT????

depends upon DMK ADMK alliances :D

Pollachi Rly station is having amble space to accommodate future expansions, at present it is having only 2 PF's.

PODANUR - POLLACHI GC WORKS @ PTJ, SA div., SR. Dt : 07/04/2013

Electric Point Machine manufactured at SIGNAL & TELECOMMUNICATION Work shop, Podanur, SR used in this GC works.

This place is going to be like Bayyappanahalli line slope in SBC.
PTJ-POY new line LC gate is going to be next to the ROB seen at the end.
The slope is from ROB to this end.

POY-PTJ KM :40., PTJ-CBE KM : 06 , Totaly 46 KM .

It means in future,chances are there in Pollachi junction to have pit lines to carry out maintenance works on rakes. Instead of depending upon major junctions to have this facility at all times, Railway Board should make this facility even at small junctions where ever it is possible & then only the rakes will be fit enough for long running.

YARD RE-MODELLING WORKS AT PODANUR [PTJ].
The SR GM Mr.RAKESH MISRA said yard re-modelling needed to be done at PTJ for easy handling of more trains entering from CBE side.
Due to heavy summer vacation traffic, the proposal was deferred.
After monsoon, yard remodelling would be done at SRR and then at PTJ.

Updated. Thanks

1st time I am seeing this.Usually they see board and stop.

thanks for info

If I correctly remember, than first 2 pics have nothing to do with loco stopping point. But, I don't know the very purpose of the narrower rails.

May be because of the different rail joint shape.
click here
See 3.6 on page no.7 and 8
Hinge and sliding derails will be painted yellow, and any track equipped with a derail shall have the switch stand lever painted yellow. Proper signage shall also be erected at derail locations.

Thanks for information.

nice clicks...
