Northern Railway’s JD Introduces Scratch Rakes
Kashmir Observer
|December 24, 2025 Issue
In a bid to minimise delays caused by dense fog during the winter season and to enhance passenger convenience, Northern Railway's Jammu Division has introduced the provision of “scratch rakes” or additional rakes for select trains.
An official while talking to KNO said, “The initiative aims to ensure timely departure and arrival of trains that are often affected by severe fog conditions during winter, particularly in North India.”
"Under this arrangement, an additional fully prepared rake is kept on standby and pressed into service when the original train rake is delayed significantly due to fog or other operational constraints,” the officials added.
According to railway officials, the facility has been implemented for Train No. 12414 Jammu Tawi-Ajmer Express and Train Nos. 22478/22477 Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra~-New Delhi-Katra Express.
