Many hurdles to ply Oxygen Express to Kerala
The Hindu
Low clearance of rail overbridges, narrow tunnels, and speed restrictions are hindrances
Low clearance of rail overbridges, narrow tunnels, and speed restrictions in two stretches having tunnels are hurdles for the Railways in operating Oxygen Express trains, which deliver liquid medical oxygen, to the State. The rail overbridges (ROB) at Shoranur, Thrissur, and Angamaly lack the mandatory clearance of 4.67 m from the rail level, which prevents the movement of wagons on which liquid medical oxygen-laden tankers are transported as in the northern States. The ROB at Shornur has clearance of 4.58 metre. The existing narrow tunnel in Kottayam also lacks the mandatory clearance.
