Railways forms panel to look into speed limit violations by train drivers
The Morning Standard
|June 17, 2024
CONCERNED over loco pilots (train drivers) violating speed limits, the Railway Board has constituted a committee to look into such instances.
The committee is tasked with finding out the reasons that prompt the drivers to overlook the prescribed speed limits at various points. The violation of speed limits poses a serious threat to train safety.
A source in the railways cited a case of speed limit violation reported on a river bridge where the driver violated the speed restriction of 20 kmph and took the train at above 100 kmph. Since the bridge was under maintenance, it could have turned into a major accident.
