Jodhpur-Jaisalmer Rail Journey Gets Faster: 121 km/h Trial Successful!
•North Western Railway's Jodhpur Division successfully conducted an OMS train trial at 121 km/h on the Jodhpur-Jaisalmer section.
•This trial paves the way for increasing the speed limit, previously capped at 100 km/h, after significant technical upgrades and track machine works.
•Divisional Railway Manager Anurag Tripathi confirmed excellent track quality, with no 'peak' exceeding 0.2 G recorded during the high-speed trial.
•OMS (Oscillation Monitoring System) technology is used by Indian Railways to assess track condition, measuring vibrations and jerks to identify weaknesses.
•The upgrade will significantly reduce travel time between Jodhpur and Jaisalmer, benefiting both local passengers and tourists, and enhancing rail operations.
