Central Railway's Mumbai Division will operate special traffic and power blocks on the intervening nights of October 22 and 23, and October 23 and 24, as well as October 24 and 25, to carry out tower-shifting and dismantling work between Vasind and Atgaon.
The blocks will be operated from 2.10 am to 3.55 am on each night on the UP and DOWN North-East (NE) lines. The work involves shifting and dismantling 110 kV high-tension towers that currently infringe on the alignment of the proposed Kalyan-Kasara third railway line.
The blocks are essential for infrastructure maintenance and safety, Central Railway said in a press release issued on Thursday.
The CSMT-Kasara local departing Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) at 12.08 am will be short-terminated at Titwala station due to the block.
Passengers travelling towards Kasara during the affected period may need to make alternative arrangements for the remaining part of their journey.
Several mail and express trains will be regulated at different stations during the block, with some services expected to arrive up to 1 hour 50 minutes late.
The affected trains include:
CSMT-Nagpur Special (02139): Will be regulated at Khadavli from 2 am to 3.55 am.
Ballia-Dadar Express (11044) and Gorakhpur-Dadar Express (11048): Will be regulated at Atgaon from 2.10 am to 3.55 am and are expected to arrive 1 hour 50 minutes late.
Shalimar-LTT Express (12102): Will be regulated at Khardi from 2.10 am to 3.50 am and is expected to arrive 1 hour 50 minutes late.
Shalimar-LTT Express (18030): Will be regulated at Igatpuri from 1.35 am to 3.10 am and is expected to arrive 1 hour 45 minutes late.
Howrah-CSMT Express (12810): Will be regulated at Igatpuri from 1.45 am to 3.15 am and is expected to arrive 1 hour 35 minutes late.
Central Railway said the following trains will also be suitably regulated on the Bhusaval division:
The railway administration said the Gaya-LTT Express (22358), Amravati-CSMT Express (12112), CSMT-Gondia Express (12106) and Hazrat Nizamuddin-Ernakulam Express (12618) may also be delayed due to the bunching of trains.
Other late-running mail, express and passenger trains announced later may also be regulated or short-terminated, depending on operational requirements.
