In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), a train is seen navigating through thick fog at a speed of 130 km/h. On the left, a monitor displays a green signal, indicating the train can move seamlessly. The video highlights how the Kavach system aids the loco pilot in operating the train effectively, even in adverse weather conditions.

The note attached to the video read, “Dense fog outside. Kavach shows the signal right inside the cab. Pilot doesn't have to look outside for signal,” highlighting the system's ability to operate in challenging weather conditions.
