In a shocking incident reported in Salem Division of Southern Railway, the Locopilots of a relief engine were allegedly pressured to run the engine at 50 kmph instead of the maximum prescribed limit of 15 kmph to prevent punctuality loss.
According to railway sources, a freight train was held up due to a locomotive failure between Veerapandi Road and Magudan Chavidi railway stations leading to a section block on March 14, 2024. A following freight train was detained at Veerapandi Road railway station and the locomotive detached for relief operation.
The Station Master gave authorisation ‘T/A 602’, which is an authority for the Locopilot to cross the signal in red and without line clear at a speed not exceeding 15 kmph during the day and 10 kmph at night. The Locopilots proceeded as per the instructions and moved the detained rake in mid-section to the next destination, the sources said.
