Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train to Use Movable Crossings; India Develops Faster Trains
The Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail corridor will introduce movable crossings, or swing-nose crossings, enabling trains to safely change tracks at speeds up to 320 kmph by creating a continuous rail surface that reduces impact and wear. This technology, a first for Indian Railways, uses two coordinated point machines for precise operation. Additionally, India is developing indigenous bullet trains, with B28 prototypes expected to begin trials in 2027 at 280 kmph and plans for faster B35 trains targeting 350 kmph by 2030 to serve future corridors.
