Massive Steel Girder Equal to Four Vande Bharat Trains Lifted for Flyover

• Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFCC) successfully installed a 1,500-ton steel girder, equivalent to four Vande Bharat trains, on a flyover.
• The 110.5-meter long open web steel girder was launched on the UP line near Kalamboli in the JNPT–Vaitarna section of the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC).
• Installation was a major engineering challenge due to the girder's size and placement over an operational railway track, requiring advanced techniques and night work.
• Despite adverse weather and continuous train movement, the project was completed safely and on schedule, showcasing DFCCIL's technical capabilities.
• The WDFC connects Dadri to JNPT, passing through Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh, enhancing freight and export logistics.

Why It Matters: DFCCIL successfully installed a massive 1,500-ton steel girder, a major engineering feat for freight logistics.
