Are non-interlocked LC gates potential disaster sites?
The New Indian Express Madurai
|July 09, 2025
PASSENGERS travelling on trains that pass through non-interlocked level crossing (LC) gates, as well as road users crossing these gates, face potential safety risks as the Southern Railway (SR) has no mechanism to detect or prevent human error at these gates.
In particular, there is no safeguard if a gatekeeper at a non-interlocked LC fails to close the gate or reopens it prematurely before the train has passed.
SR operates 1,602 level crossing gates along its 7,761-km network. Of these, 1,365 gates are integrated with interlocked signalling systems, while the rest 237 gates are manually operated.
