Northeast Frontier Railway to Upgrade Signalling at New Jalpaiguri, Affecting Train Schedules
The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) will commission a Multi-Section Digital Axle Counter (MSDAC) at New Jalpaiguri Yard from July 26 to 28 to modernize signalling and enhance safety. This upgrade will improve train detection and operational efficiency but will cause temporary cancellations, diversions, and rescheduling of several trains, including Vande Bharat and Rajdhani services. Passengers are advised to check revised schedules before traveling during this period.
