South Coast Railway Commissions Automatic Block Signalling on Guntakal-Raichur Corridor
South Coast Railway has commissioned Automatic Block Signalling (ABS) across a 28.112 route kilometre double-line stretch between Adoni and Kosgi on the Guntakal-Raichur corridor, enhancing rail safety and operational efficiency. This upgrade, part of a broader modernization effort costing around Rs 500 crore, includes advanced Frauscher Dual Multi-Section Digital Axle Counters and new signalling infrastructure. The ABS system allows closer train intervals by automating train detection and signal control, increasing line capacity on this busy freight and passenger route connecting Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.
